Detailed Reviews: 16 Minneapolis Airport Hotels Scored on Shuttle Speed & Cleanliness
1. Hyatt Place Minneapolis Airport South
The Vibe
About 6 miles from MSP, the free shuttle runs from 4 AM to 11 PM daily, making early departures easy. Guests consistently call out the clean, comfortable rooms and the view of the airport tarmac. The location near a bus stop helps if you’re exploring beyond the hotel.

Rooms come with air conditioning, private bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi (scoring 8.3). The indoor swimming pool and fitness center give you options to burn off layover energy. Pet policy allows dogs up to 22 kg (max 2 pets) on request – charges apply. The shuttle also stops at the Mall of America about a mile away.

2. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN
The Vibe
Staff score 9.2 is the highest among all hotels connected to Minneapolis Airport via shuttle on this list. The free airport shuttle runs from 4 AM to midnight, and the free parking is a serious bonus if you’re driving in. Guests praise the breakfast and the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
What You Actually Get
The indoor pool and fitness center are standard, but the free private parking sets this apart — you can leave your car while you fly for $15 per day extended parking. The 4-star rating shows in the quality of the free breakfast (good eggs, good coffee). No pets allowed, so this one’s for the non-furry travelers. Location right across from Mall of America means shopping and dining are feet away.
Choose this if: You want a 4-star experience with free parking and breakfast under the same roof.

3. Radisson Blu Mall of America
The Vibe
Location 9.5 — the highest on this list — because it’s literally connected to the Mall of America via the second-floor skyway. The free airport shuttle runs based on availability, and the indoor pool (temporarily closed at time of review) is usually a perk. The restaurant and bar on-site make it feel like a mini-destination.
What You Actually Get
Rooms score 8.8 for both comfort and cleanliness. Wi-Fi hits 8.6, which is solid for working from the room. The concierge gets rave reviews for helpfulness — one guest called them “unbelievably prompt.” Pets allowed with a $100 charge. You must be 21+ to check in. Breakfast is optional at €22. The shuttle availability varies, so book pickup times in advance.
Choose this if: You’re shopping at MOA and want zero steps outdoors between your room and the stores.
4. Comfort Inn MSP Airport – Mall of America
The Vibe
Location score 8.9 and a 24/7 airport shuttle make this a reliable pick for red-eye or early-morning flights. The free Wi-Fi scores 9.2, beating most competitors here. Comfortable beds and pillow options get consistent shout-outs in guest reviews. Continental breakfast is included.
What You Actually Get
This 4-star rated Comfort Inn offers an indoor pool, fitness center, and on-site restaurant. Parking costs $20/night for airport stays — not free, but clearly stated.

5. Embassy Suites by Hilton Minneapolis Airport
The Vibe
Minutes from MSP with a free shuttle running from 3:30 AM to midnight.

Each guest suite offers either one king or two queen beds in a separate bedroom — different from traditional hotel rooms. The indoor pool, fitness center, and on-site restaurant add convenience. Pet-friendly with applicable charges. Parking costs $20/night for those using the Park & Fly option. The Wi-Fi scores a low 6.6, so heavy streamers be warned — this is the weakest internet on the list.
