XP: Hotel recs please

I posted this on the MSP board as well, but I don't think it gets a lot of action.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a nice hotel (preferably with a spa and pool) near the Mall of America. We're from a small border town in Canada, and just want a quick get away down to MSP for a few days after the wedding, as our "real" honey moon doesn't come until Winter.

Suggestions?

TIA

I stayed at the Homewood Suites in Bloomington, MN last year for a work trip.  It was only a few mins away from the mall.  It's suite style so every room has a separate living area and kitchen.  I'm pretty sure that all of the rooms were townhouse style, so you have your own entrance (I don't want to say motel style, b/c it was safe and there would be a few rooms to each building with nice walkways all around).  They also had free breakfast every morning, and they have free beer/wine and snacks at night mon-thurs just like all homewood suites.  It didn't have a spa and it wasn't especially romantic, but the rooms are huge and private.  Good luck! I personally didn't think the mall was that fun, but I had a lot of fun in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area doing other things!
