Punta Cana Vacation

When we arrived the staff were very helpful and courteous to us and suggested the Green Mill for Dinner. Food was awesome. She also helped us with a wake up call the next morning and the shuttle would get us to the MSP airport. Friendly staff, good food and pool was great. Coming back again.
The service was exceptional

Too Old and Poor Location

This is an old property that was built off the busiest freeway in Minnesota and when someone had the stupid idea of building rooms around an indoor pool. HI started their Re-Fresh awhile ago and only the bathrooms have been completed.
But let me start at the beginning. I picked this hotel because it was the lowest in terms of Rewards Points and has a shuttle to MOA and the airport. However, one day was blacked out. I e-mailed the hotel asking if the rooms were re-freshed and what can they do about the blocked room. The reply I received told me the best price available and how to nook. It's as if my e-mail wasn't even read. I e-mailed again and was told they would add more rooms to unblock the day and that only the bathrooms had been re-freshed. My plans changed and I had to change the reservation by dropping a night. The system wouldn't let me change so I cancelled and re-booked at the same time. Again the same day was blocked. I again e-mailed the hotel thanking them for the first time and asking for help again. I never received a reply. Two days before my trip (A week after cancelling.) the blocked day opened up.
The hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere. A popular local pizza chain is connected to the hotel, but that's it. There is nowhere to walk to.
When I checked in I was told I was getting a great room at the back of the hotel. It was right off the freeway. Even with the air-conditioner on I could hear the trucks. The front desk woman told me she could move be next to the pool but admitted that guests there complained of the noise at night. I told her I didn't go to bed till after midnight and wake up at around 10 AM so no problem.
What she didn't tell me was the strong chlorine smell that would be waiting for me in the room. Luckily after about 5 minutes I didn't notice it. I did notice the jackhammer that started at 10:30 AM the next day. Luckily there was no other hammering the other days. What did happen though was my right eye turning red after three days and recovered the day after checking out. Had to be the chlorine.
The room is old with a nice new flat screen. The mattress was old too as it sagged when sleeping on it. It was still comfortable enough at least. The bathroom was new but had few and low quality amenities. I had to get a toothbrush and toothpaste from the front desk. Also, the rooms next to the pool get almost no sunlight and if you open the drapes don't walked to close to the window unless you're dressed proper. All this and I was on the top floor.
All of the employees were very friendly and engaging. Nothing bad there. The was the high point.
There are so many hotels to choose from around the airport and MOA. Unless you want a cheap hotel for Reward Points, stay somewhere else.

It would have been nice if I would been notified that the motel is being remodeled.
I could have made the choice of to still stay or not Also the rooms could have been discounted
Wait till renovations complete before staying

I mainly booked this hotel because it was close to the airport and had a shuttle. The shuttle service was great. The restaurant and condition of the hotel -- not so much. I'm thinking that both will improve once the renovations are done and they making some personnel changes. The restaurant service was poor, the food was average. The ambience of the restaurant wasn't very good though. It could use some renovations. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable and neither were the pillows. The bathroom amenities were sparse. However, for a one-night stay, it was fair overall.
Breakfast staff

My husband and I went there for the breakfast and was not very impressed with the staff that helped us the gentleman seemed a little frazzled and could not keep his order straight we waited way too long for glasses with water and coffee and the fresh fruit that was supposed to been offered was not even sweet and hard as a rock so it wasn't ripe. Although it was taken off our bill just wish we could have had some fresh fruit for breakfast. Along with letting us know what the buffet was offering that was not an option I had to ask.

The people at this Holiday Inn made the difference in our stay. They were so friendly and really went out of their way to help us with our first experience in Minnesota. We will stay here again the next time we visit the area.
Great Pool Area

Using the Airport shuttle saved us a bunch of money and was efficient. The pool area was very nice.
