Where to Stay When Visiting Toro (Bloomington)
Toro's headquarters is in Bloomington. Downtown and the airport ride the METRO light rail; the suburbs need a car. Which one your campus is in decides the trip.
The Toro Company is a maker of turf, landscaping, and outdoor-maintenance equipment, headquartered at 8111 Lyndale Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55420. That's Bloomington and Richfield — the Mall of America and MSP airport area along I-494, home to Best Buy (in Richfield) and Toro (in Bloomington), minutes from the terminal and on the light rail.
“Toro is in Bloomington near the Mall of America. Book a Bloomington/MOA hotel a few minutes away and fly into MSP right next door.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief

The area gets you close; the room still has to protect the work. Run the pick through the Sales-Ready basics — a real work surface, a quiet room, a lobby you'd host in — using the hotel details that decide the trip and the Sales-Ready Index.
The standard
