Grandstay made an amazing home base for a wedding weekend. The larger rooms made us feel welcome and not overwhelmed. Staff was great and patient with us. Rooms were so comfortable and clean. We'll be back. Thank you so much.

It just needs a lot of updating. Broken trim, chipped, cracked and stained counters and cabinets. My wall had coffee or doda all down the wall and the shower curtain was covered in hair. Bed was clean.

Double check if you are wanting a pool

Pool was not working and nobody told me when I booked. There was caution tape all over the pool area and the water looked like a sci-fi movie. Other than that, the place was clean and the service was friendly. I would stay again, just would not plan to swim.

The staff was nice, but the place is poorly maintained. All vending machines say “do not use”, hot tub was broken, ceilings were leaking and there was visible black mold. Sinks not clean-hair in sink from previous guests.

Not the greatest; weird smells

I don’t think we will be staying here again. There were so many little things that gave me the ick. The bathroom has zero ventilation or fan or window, and it shows: floor tile damage where you step out of the shower, water damage around the shower on the walls. We brought a small fan for the counter top to help dry the bathroom. The complete lack of hooks and towel bars was weird and annoying. The ironing board smelled like puke when we used it and something in the bed smelled like dirty socks. Breakfast was decent, the bed was comfy and it was quiet at least. The side door that requires a card scan after 11 PM was never locked after 11 PM.

The staff was wonderful but the property was run down. The shampoo and body wash were empty in the shower, the dishes were still in the dishwasher, there was an old wrist band under the bed so I’m not sure if the room was actually cleaned between stays or not. The kitchen light didn’t work, the hot tub was out of order, there were no pool towels, and the room smelled bad when we arrived. The location was convenient for the mall of America and parking was easy but we won’t be back.
