Overview

The Crowne Plaza Aire MSP Airport receives mixed reviews. While guests appreciate its convenient location near the airport and Mall of America, along with the generally friendly staff and airport shuttle, several negative points emerge. Many express concerns about parking, describing it as confusing, inconvenient, and sometimes costly. Issues with room maintenance, including cleanliness, slow draining tubs, and noise issues are also raised. While some found the rooms comfortable, others described them as dated or lacking in amenities. The shuttle service is appreciated by many, but there are reports of unreliability. In short, while the hotel's location and some staff members receive praise, potential guests should be aware of these recurring negative comments about parking, facilities, and some aspects of customer service.

It’s close to the airport and Mall of America, but there isn’t much available (food/entertainment) within walking distance.

It was a nice stay except they now charge $50 per night for parking. That added another $100 to the stay. I stay there 3-4 times a year 7-10 nights, but I will probably find somewhere else now. I have another 3-night stay booked but that will be the last time I stay there. They must only want people who fly in to stay at their hotel.

The hotel is outdated. The room smelled musty. The beds were uncomfortable. Our flight was delayed so we arrived at 2am. The woman at the front desk told us check in closed at 12am and we were denied access to our room. I sat in the lobby, with two small children, until 3am when she finally allowed us to check in. Their website says nothing about check in closing at 12am. Awful experience, and terrible customer service!

When looking at Expedia, it says free parking. At the hotel, they charge 10 bucks a day to use their crumbling parking garage. I hope you aren't planning on relaxing in the pool or hot tub. The 4 days I was there, the hot tub was filled with young children horsing around and screaming, every hour the pool was open. Don't try to take a shower either, there was very poor water pressure in the shower. The man who checked me in at the front desk was very rude and was disrespectful. Probably because I was wearing an equality t-shirt.
