Know Your Holiday Inns
Fourth Street is at the Holiday Inn Select in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Please don’t confuse it with the Holiday Inn Express in Bloomington, Minnesota which is on American Blvd less than two miles from the convention hotel.
The Holiday Inn Select (con hotel) is taller and closer to the airport and nature preserve; the Holiday Inn Express is shorter and closer to the Mall of America.
The Holiday Inn Select (Fourth Street hotel) has an attached parking ramp, the Holiday Inn Express just has a parking lot.
On this map, the convention hotel (Holiday Inn Select) is point A and the Holiday Inn Express is point B.

Also, Google Maps believes that the Crowne Plaza on Pilot Knob Road is still a Holiday Inn Select. Do not believe this! Fortuntely, they are part of the same larger hotel family and were able to provide good directions. But it’s not a terribly scenic route.

(Or was it a Crowne Select? The Crowne Something.)
