Top St. Croix Islands State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Bloomington - Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente todos"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Roseville - St. Paul

8/10 Good

"The room and hotel were very clean. The dining area was very clean. The staff was fantastic. The furniture in the lobby was a little dated and worn. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were quiet. The breakfasts were good, but I think they should have an egg option in addition to hard-boiled eggs every day. Overall great experience. We were there a week. I also wish they had a hot tub."
