Reservations Number Map
The Deadline to make reservations using our special rates has been extended until
Friday, March 9.
The Midwest Journalism Conference is held at the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis International Airport, located at the intersection of 34th Avenue South and American Boulevard in Bloomington, Minnesota. The hotel is ten blocks east of Mall of America and just one block south of Exit 1A/1B on Interstate 494, next to the airport.
PLEASE NOTE – There are THREE hotels with the same name nearby:
You’re looking for the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis International Airport (formerly the Holiday Inn Select) on American Boulevard East at 34th Avenue South in Bloomington near the light rail crossing.
It is NOT the Crowne Plaza three miles to the east at 2700 Pilot Knob Road in Eagan, and
It is NOT the Crowne Plaza seven miles to the west at 5401 Green Valley Drive in Bloomington.
Three hotels within ten miles of each other with the same name? Who would’a thunk it? Be sure to find the right one!
You can make your reservations online HERE. However, if you call the hotel directly at 952-854-9000, you can ask for the Midwest Journalism Conference rate and get a nice discount. And remember, when you stay at the conference hotel you also get a discount on your conference registration, so you’ll be saving money twice!
A word about Mapquest
If you’re using Mapquest, we strongly recommend that you use the address 3491 American Boulevard, Bloomington, MN to find the driveway to the hotel, rather than typing in the name Crowne Plaza because Mapquest will get mixed up. The hotel’s mailing address is 3 Appletree Square, which sounds nice but gives no indication of its location.
Here is the location on Google Maps:
