Bottom Line

The 146-room Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis - St. Paul Airport is a value property with clean, conventional rooms near the airport and the Mall of America. Renovated in 2014, this hotel is well maintained and offers a free hot breakfast, free 24-hour shuttle, and free Wi-Fi. The indoor pool and hot tub are property highlights. Rooms are spacious but generic with comfortable beds, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. While parking in the surface lot is free, underground parking costs an extra fee. The adjacent SpringHill Suites Minneapolis - St. Paul Airport offers free garage parking and similar amenities, though rates can often be higher.

Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis – St. Paul Airport

Scene

Value chain hotel near the airport that attracts business travelers and mall visitors

With its location near the airport and the Mall of America (and free shuttle service to both), this value hotel stays busy with business travelers during the week and couples, families, and groups of friends visiting the mall on weekends. Opened in 2007 and renovated in 2014, the property is clean and well maintained and offers nice extras like a pool and gym. The open lobby is the center of activity, with the spacious lounge and breakfast area immediately to the right of the wood front desk that greets arriving guests. In the breakfast area, long, granite-topped tables and bright drum-shaped pendant lights offer a clean, contemporary look, and light wood floors throughout brighten the space. It's unmistakably a chain hotel, but it delivers on brand standards, making this a comfortable option.

Location

Just off Interstate 494, near the airport and the Mall of America

This Hampton Inn & Suites is located in a commercial area just off Interstate 494, surrounded by other airport hotels and office complexes. The hotel operates a free 24-hour shuttle service to the airport, Mall of America, and light rail station that is less than two blocks away. It is a 12-minute light rail ride or 10-minute drive or shuttle ride to Terminal One at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The Mall of America and its hundreds of shops, restaurants, and other attractions is about one mile away -- a three-minute drive or shuttle ride (or about 12 minutes by train). The Waterpark of America is a three-minute drive and Fort Snelling Golf Course is a 10-minute drive. The hotel is somewhat removed from Downtown Minneapolis, about a 20 minute drive or 45 minute train ride, depending on the specific destination.

Rooms

Clean, conventional rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi

Rooms are spacious and fresh from a 2014 renovation and while decor is generic, it's tasteful and nicely maintained. Cream walls and crimson accent walls are paired with rust-and-black patterned carpeting, dark brown drapes with rust accents, and dark wood furniture. Upgraded rooms might add leathery ottomans, armchairs, and sofas, plus kitchenettes with sinks, and vanities placed outside the bathroom. Bathrooms are standard with neutral beige color palettes, combo showers and tubs, and granite-topped wood vanities. 

Each room includes a microwave, mini-fridge, electronic safe, coffeemaker, 32-inch flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. Despite being close to the airport, rooms are relatively quiet throughout the six-story complex, especially those rooms farthest away from the airport. Some rooms offer views of the airport complex or Mall of America.
