Hyatt Regency Bloomington - Minneapolis
No ding for a minor cleaning thing or the wrapped plastic water cups. Bed and room were very comfortable. Only 2 miles from MSP and free shuttle. Nice little bar, restaurant with limited menu. Nice coffee shop just across the street.

Room was clean, however no microwave inside and the bathroom had a horrible shower. The swimming pool was not in use, had to get shuttled to their sister hotel the country inn. I’m gone leave it…..
