Omni Viking Lakes Hotel

Stayed here as I was having a procedure at TCO orthopedics which was facing the back of the hotel. I got a great rate online, and it was January so the rates were good. I was able to check in early which was amazing. I signed up for the Omni rewards so I could get free WiFi, otherwise it's a $9.99 charge a day (up to $14.99 for more data.)I was on the 9th floor, facing the lakes and TCO. My room was very decent sized, with a small sitting area where you could put your luggage and hang your jacket. Inside the closet were two soft robes, as well as a laundry bag for same day laundry. They also have complimentary machines upstairs for you to do your own laundry. At the entrance there is also an extra pillow and blanket if you need it. The first right in the bathroom, I had a large shower, and very brightly lit vanity area. No tub. The vanity area also has a light underneath if you want extra light during the night.Next to the bathroom was the well hidden mini fridge, and on top were two bottles of complimentary water as well as a keurig coffee machine, complete with coffee and creamer. The mini fridge was nothing special.The room had a nice sized tv, and I had a room with a kind sized bed. Super cozy. Lots of pillows. My favorite part was the comfy oversized chair next to the bed. There is also a table and chair for eating as well as working. Inside the bed sjde table is a plug to charge your phone.They have an indoor pool on the second floor as well as a spa. Very decent sized fitness center. Mix of restaurants to choose from. Room service was super fast. They also have a little store downstairs when you walk in, which has sodas and waters and a host of other items. There is also plenty of seating room in the lobby.

The Omni should be on your list of top hotels in the southern burbs of the Twin Cities. It is new, modern, yet somehow cozy in a sleek way. The check-in process was quick and professional. The room was mostly great. Again modern with a Nordic comfy feel. The bed was that perfect combo of firm and soft with a nice comforter and 4 pillows. The bath has a huge walk in shower and 4 soft towels (I hate when you only get 2 towels in nice hotels.). The toiletries were nice. There was both a comfy chair and a chaise deal along with a desk and chair. The downside to the room was the lack of accessible plug ins. One of the nightstands had 2, the other 1 that didn't work. There were no plug ins for the desk unless you crawled under the desk. The bathroom only had 2. There are two full restaurants in the hotel, 3 places to get craft cocktails, and a market with minimal food and typical coffee options. Note, there is a pop up reindeer lounge in the lobby bar now that has great looking cocktails all in the $15-20 range. We didn't try any, but I would have loved to. The hotel is across a small pond from the Vikings training facility and has nice walking paths around the complex. This is a great spot for a stay before a flight or anything in the Bloomington are.

I wanted to post an updated review that I have stayed at Omni Viking Lakes on three different trips now (2 for business and 1 for pleasure). I still absolutely love the hotel and its location. I have eaten at both Kyndred Hearth and Ember & Ice and both are fantastic. I have also ordered room service with no complaints. My latest stay was for pleasure and I walked the trail outside the hotel as well as used the gym and pool! The front desk staff are so friendly and helpful giving you tips on everything to do nearby and also far. I would 100% come back to this hotel again and cannot wait for my next trip when I do!

**BLITZEN Lounge at Omni ** If you've made your holiday pop up bar list, maybe consider skipping out on this one. Although the scene was set up to be all things adorable and festive- the service desperately needs a training day. The lounge/Blitzen is first comes first serve within the Omni hotel, so when we arrived at 4:30p on a Thursday evening we were pleased that the lounge was not lively- only about 4 other tables (10 guests). As our own group of 6, we were seated inside the lounge and brought waters and menus by the bartender. At about 5p we placed our order with a female server, and we ordered 3 wood-fired pizzas that were made and delivered from the next door restaurant within the hotel (they were delicious) and various cocktails including the Frost Bite (Blue curacao pineapple and coconut), Tidings of Whiskey and Joy (Whiskey, lemon, bitters and egg whites), and VaVaVixen (Aperol, sparkling wine, passionfruit, vodka). Two of our guests were not drinking and attempted to order one of the mocktails (Jingle Bells and berries) and were informed this mocktail was sold out. They attempted to order the other mocktail option (Merry Sprtizmas) and after not receiving it, the female server then let us know that was also sold out. There was ultimately a long wait and at one point we were wondering if we would be better ordering at the bar then returning to our seats. When we did get our cocktails (about 5:35p at this point)- they tasted wonderful, my personal favorite being the whiskey and joy. After over 90 minutes at the lounge waiting on drinks and snacks- the place started to fill up and also, we were ready to leave. Unfortunately, after requesting our tickets from the female server- we never saw her again. Luckily the bartender from earlier assisted us. The entire experience was chaotic and displeasing and luckily, we were able to appreciate the quality time we spent as a group. Overall, I would not recommend this holiday pop bar/lounge.

By far our favorite hotel ever!!! We stayed a few 'stay cations' while living in MN and now we stay here everytime we travel back to MN. We always get the Stadium view as there is something so magical about all the lights during the middle of the night. The linens are the softest I've ever felt. The shower. Oh my the shower! It is the best shower I've ever taken. The shampoo and conditioner smells amazing. I couldn't say anything negative about Omni Vikings lakes if I tried!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Omni Viking Lakes hotel in Eagan, Minnesota, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. This brand new hotel is located right across from the Minnesota Vikings training camp, making it a prime location for sports enthusiasts and fans alike.The rooms at the Omni Viking Lakes are simply fantastic. They are well-appointed and offer a high level of comfort and luxury. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtfulness put into every aspect of the room design. It truly felt like a home away from home.One of the highlights of this hotel is its privacy. Set in a secluded location, it offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It was my first time in Minnesota and my first time at this hotel, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. The event was flawlessly organized, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a wonderful time.While I personally did not have the chance to experience the spa firsthand, I heard rave reviews from several people who did. They highly recommended it, praising the exceptional service and the rejuvenating treatments offered.

Absolutely Stunning hotel! I stayed in the King Deluxe room for a conference. The room was clean, spacious, and amazing hotel staff! The hotel is neighbors with the Vikings performance center. We had buffets at the hall rooms- every single thing we tried ; DELICIOUS!!! Desserts were also really tasty. Conference rooms/ halls were also pretty clean. I have nothing negative to say about my experience here.

Beautiful venue. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, restaurants were closed so grabbed a bite to eat at the cafe and was not disappointed!

Pretty sure that I stay here so often that any day now these guys are going to make me sign a lease!This was a 5ni stay booked in the Deluxe King & upgraded to the King Suite. As usual, it was an excellent visit.On approach, the lights of Viking territory are your guiding beacon to an unbelievably large, free, open parking lot. (Valet service at the door if preferred.)Expect a warm greeting from everyone you encounter on entry. If you complete the pre-arrival check-in, everything is ready for you on the board. One thing to note is the online check-in says to grab your own packet from the board on arrival, but the board is behind the counter. If you haven't registered for the loyalty program, I highly recommend doing so. We arrived to a meat and cheese board, turndown service and chilled drinks. Our request for extra coffee was also already taken care of & our daily drink card requests were picked up each night, with a 9am knock & drop delivery daily. Spectacular service!There are convenient & tasty dining options on site, including a fabulous mushroom pizza & cocktails are top notch, well worth the price point. Online check-out is easy & efficient. Although we rarely have much luggage, staff always offer to assist. Today the valets even offered to pour coffee for us as we loaded up the car!Would we go back? Let's just say, see ya next week!

Amazing hotel with great staff, excellent dining options, very clean with great service from every employee we encountered. It's a bit of a drive from downtown but we were on vacation and didn't mind. Very close to airport and mall. Loved it.
