The route we use (from south Minneapolis)

We take 35W south; go east on 62/crosstown (exit 11B, it’s a left exit); go south on 77 (a.k.a. Cedar Ave south); exit on Lindau Lane / Killebrew drive; exit on Killebrew Drive and then just take Killebrew past the Mall of America. It winds around a bit and eventually will no longer be called Killebrew but East Old Shakopee Road. Eventually you’ll come to Appletree road (there’s a traffic light there). Turn right onto Appletree and then take the first left you can. The hotel will be right in front of you. Take a right (which leads you into the parking ramp) before you would go “under” the building. You’ll want to go to the top of the ramp to park, there’s a door to the hotel up there. Enter the hotel and you’ll go past the pool and down a longish hallway; the elevators will be on your right. Take the elevators up to 13 to the convention or down to the first floor to check into the hotel. You can, of course, also just park temporarily by the front door of the hotel when checking in.
