Hotwire Hotel: need help with hotels

[anderson8]

I'm trying to book a hotel near mall of america/bloomington for August 8-9. Can you help me identify which hotels are listed? Is it possible that the hotels that dont have breakfast listed may still offer free breakfast?

1 room, 4 adults

3-star hotel in Bloomington East $69

Airport Shuttle, Fitness Center, Pool(s), Restaurant(s), Business Center, Laundry Facilities, High-speed Internet Access

2-star hotel in Bloomington East $72

Shuttle, Breakfast, Pool, Laundry

2.5-star hotel in Bloomington East $69

shuttle, fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center, high speed internet, golf

Please doublecheck the 2.5* property... are you still seeing a Business icon when searching for 4adults for your dates?

Also, is the 2* really an option when it's more expensive and a full star rating lower than the 3* offer? :)

Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

No, the business icon is not listed. Do you have some idea what the hotels might be? I'd like to get the trip booked soon. Thanks

The 3* is a match for the Holiday Inn Select (Three Appletree Squrae) while the 2.5* is a match for the Ramada Mall of America so that would be our best guess for each.

Let us know how it goes or if we can be of further help.

Two more options:

1) The La Quinta Bloomington Airport is an "LQ Weekend Special" for your date. One King or two Doubles for $56.70 includes free breakfast. Go to the "Special Deals" tab on LQ's website, then choose "Weekend Deals".

Please use the board's La Quinta link if you purchase.

2) On PRICELINE you might be able to get TWO 2.5* rooms for the same price as one room on HOTWIRE. I suggest bidding $34 for a 2.5* in Priceline's Airport-MOA zone. If you win something it will probably be the Holiday Inn Bloomington. No free breakfast but for four adults two rooms would be nice.
