Upgrades
While my Marriott Titanium Elite status was recognized during check-in, the receptionist did not mention room upgrades until I asked her for one.ย
Itโs worth noting that other elite members that stayed at theย JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America received an upgrade up to the Executive Suite, but I wasnโt too lucky. All I got was just an upgrade to a high-floor room with the same bed type and room layout. Thereโs nothing โsuiteโ about that for the upgrade I received.ย
King Guestroom
The guestroom I stayed in at theย JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of Americaย is suitable, but it leaves a lot to be desired for a JW brand without an elite upgrade.ย

Executive Lounge at JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America |
Theย Executive Lounge at theย JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of Americaย was temporarily closed during my visit. The lounge was still accessible with the room key, and it offered non-alcoholic beverages such as sodas, water, coffee, and tea only throughout the day. Youโll need your room key to access the elevator to get to the Executive Lounge floor and its entry door located on the 15th floor.ย

Complimentary non-alcoholic drinks inside Executive Lounge |
While the Executive Lounge was closed, the property offered elite guests a food and beverage credit of $40 per room.ย
Welcome Amenity
I was offered between 1,000ย Marriott Bonvoy points or $10 food and beverage credit as part of the elite welcome amenity. I chose the food and beverage credit because itโs worth much more than the points.ย
I used the $10 food and beverage credit to spend at the onsite restaurant with the $40 food and beverage credit voucher because the Executive Lounge was not fully open.ย
Food & Beverage Credit
As mentioned above, Marriott Bonvoy Platinum, Titanium, and Ambassador elite members can receive a $40 food and beverage credit while the Executive Lounge remains closed.ย
You can use that $40 food and beverage credit (gratuity is included) for any dining needs at theย
JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America. You must present the voucher to the waiter/waitress before settling your dining bills. We used the credit for breakfast at the onsite
Cedar + Stone, Urban Table restaurant.ย

Complimentary Breakfast
Complimentary breakfast is available for Marriott Bonvoy elite members when the
Executive Lounge is open. However, we used the $40 food and beverage credit to spend at the onsite
Cedar + Stone, Urban Table restaurant for breakfast because the lounge was closed. The braised short rib hash we both had was delicious.ย
โBraised Short Rib Hash
heirloom potatoes, feta cheese, tomatoes sunny side up sparboe eggs.โ

We only had breakfast at the Cedar + Stone restaurant, and we ate out at the food court inside the Mall of America the rest of the time. There are so many restaurants in the mall to choose from.ย
