As someone who goes on retreats (attending and directing), this place is all about hospitality…read more Trust me. This place is amazing. From the moment you walk in you receive the warmth and welcome that weary people need. From Cyril to the front desk staff, you feel taken care of. The rooms are amazing for a retreat center. Yes it needs to be simple but the wood and aesthetic add to the welcome and comfortableNEss one needs on retreat. It is not austere but rather feels like a hotel in some sense...okay, more like a bed and breakfast. The views from the room are amazing. Food wise: simple and nourishing. Depending on how many folks are occupying the guesthouse can the food change...for example don't expect a full breakfast spread if there are only three retreatants. If you want an omelette head to the Ref. One thing is that the temperature in the room can't really be adjusted but that's my only gripe. But definitely always a pleasure, and always a place to rejuvenate among the nowheresness of MN.

Aesthetically, there isn't much to attract at the St. John's Abbey Guesthouse. The architecture and…read moredecor is plain, concrete, and un-beautiful. Yet, the purpose is meant to draw you to look at your surroundings - the woods, the lake, and the beautiful campus that makes up St. John's University. Personally, I've been less than pleased with my experience here. The retreat was much less than I expected, the food wasn't too impressive, the building lacks the kind of warmth one expects to find at a retreat facility. It's not a place that I'd long to return to. However, I did take advantage of prayer with the monks at the nearby Abbey Church. I'd have to say that that was a highlight of my time here.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here.

The house was very warm and comforting and don't even get me started on the jacuzzi in the room!!!! Sue was our innkeeper for the weekend, she served an amazing breakfast and even gave us a tour of the beautiful old house! We would ABSOLUTELY stay here again.

Hotel is very modern, clean, with spacious breakfast and common areas. Pool and hot tub were also very nice. Breakfast in the morning was decent, not amazing, but ok enough to fill you up. It was a quick stay but the room was comfortable and met our needs. Location is close to the highway, shopping, and plenty of food options. Good choice for the area.

Held a paid Hotels.com reservation. Was refused a room. That should be the whole review…read more The booking was made after midnight on June 19, 2026, and Hotels.com auto-rolled check-in to 3 PM that same day -- standard behavior for that platform. When I tried to check in, the desk clerk couldn't find the reservation under the date she expected, refused to take the confirmation number when I offered it (three times), and couldn't process the booking even after I offered to pay for an additional night to make her assumed date work. She confirmed the property had vacancies. The manager who came out was rude and dismissive, told me we couldn't have a room because the reservation was "for later," and could not say what date it was when asked. Lobby was dirty and smelled like mildew and old cooking. We left. Wyndham corporate complaint and credit card dispute filed. If you book this property through any OTA, expect them to not honor it.

The rooms are very quiet, clean and scent free. The beds were firm but very comfortable. There's a nice pool that's well maintained and kept at a usable temperature. The staff was extremely nice and very efficient. The continental breakfast was a step above average. The dining area was clean and the selection of food was just right. I like that they had some great additions for children, and really aren't we all children at heart? There was a waffle making machine/station which my wife used with the help of the lady who was supervising, cleaning and restocking the area. They had a nice selection of breads and bagels with a toaster. There was also some biscuits and gray with sausage crumbles that you could add if you like. My favorite was the scrambled eggs with smoked kielbasa's on the side. There were little single serve peanut butter and jelly containers as well as butter. There was a refrigerator with fruit yogurt, milk, packages with two hard boiled eggs and for the children there was a fruit cup, apple sauce cup, Brekkies (a soft chocolate chip, oat and flax) cookie and last but not least Uncrustables. There was also single serve cereal containers ranging from mini-wheats to fruit loops. 24 hour coffee service was always spot on. All in all we had a very nice stay at a warm and friendly Inn.
