The room was fine - I don't understand why other reviewers are complaining about it being "outdated." It was clean enough, and the shower worked well. A bit of an odd smell in the hall, and some rooms probably smell like smoke.
I wouldn't want to stay multiple nights or leave anything important in the room, but it certainly felt safe enough for one night. A pedestrian overpass to walk to Taco Bell is nice, I guess. Hourly shuttle to Mall of America makes for easy transit access to Minneapolis, but you have to plan to catch the shuttle.
The website says breakfast includes waffles, but disappointingly that has not been the case for a long time.
