    Bed, desk, and chair
    Senan D.

    My company booked us here from a week long conference and I'm happy they did over me trying to find somewhere next to the airport. The hotel is beautiful and the lobby was even more dazzling as it was decorated for the holidays. The rooms were pretty standard in decor but even the "basic" rooms are larger than many I've been in. There was a desk for me to get some work done and a chair if I had guests. With a lot of extra room between the bed and TV, just in case you want to do some yoga. A few of my colleagues got suites and they were 2 rooms with many sitting areas and a couch. The bed is very soft and not my favorite, but still good. There were plenty of blankets and pillows as well. I will say heating and cooling the room had a bit of a learning curve. It was pretty cool outside when I visited but inside the room was mid 60s. I like it at around 70 so the heater would heat then go off then go back on not long after. So if you visit in the cooler months, and are like me I suggest mid 70s for the thermostat. All had the standard TV and books about the area. It also had a snack bar, drinks in a small frig and a mini mini mini frig for me to put food in. The frig find those side sandwiches sized to go containers so keep that in mind. And like many hotels, the mini bar is no cheap so if you don't want to be tempted you may want to get some snacks. For sound, I will say you can hear the street and the park had some music playing so that could be heard. On the flip side, I was right next to the elevators and couldn't hear them at all. The location was not far from the airport, 30 minute drive, but there isn't a lot of parking if you're renting a car. It is close to many areas like restaurants, the hockey rink, coffee shops, offices. Most places are either a 15 to 20 minute walk or even shorter drive. I had my choice of restaurants while there. While I wouldn't advise walking, like I did, the Capitol building and Summit Hill were close to see when there is a bit of free time. All in all, it was a lovely stay and should I be back will be my first choice.

    This hotel has an excellent location with various attractions well within walking distance. Upon checking in I encountered an extremely blank-faced and unfriendly desk clerk, which upon further interactions with the front desk staff appeared to be the norm. In the room I noticed a chip in the bathtub edge and a loose shower-head. Aside from an elaborate lobby nothing about the hotel stood out as a self-billed luxury hotel. The room was quiet and had decent views of Rice Park. I 'm not sure that I'd stay here again.

    This is one nice beautiful nicely appointed hotel in downtown St Paul. We stayed here for a wedding and we were very pleased in the hotel, the service and the quiet rooms. W had breakfast in the lower level restaurant twice and they did a superb job! We didn't get the chance to experience the main dining lounge. Beautiful hotel, responsive staff, downtown St Paul, excellent breakfast & lunch. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    As much as I love the St Paul Hotel / St Paul grill... Because what's not to love... This review is for the two weekend Pazzaluna pop-up event That happened October 14th 15th 16th and 17th 18th 19th. You couldn't ask for a better deal for $55 You had your choice on the Prix Fixe menu of a starter, salad, entree and dessert. It was so great to walk into the old space, even if it wasn't the classic Pazzaluna interior the feel and the smell, the ambience and excitement was all there. It was wonderful to see some of the old servers and beyond amazing to experience some of the timeless standards once again. As soon as I saw the stuffed meatball and the veal medallions on the menu my mouth started watering.... We sipped some great cocktails, shared our delight and reminisced with are beautiful server Rachelle and the owner. It was just as inviting as ever in fact we were as dinner with my goddaughter on the heels of her birthday and in classic gracious Pazzaluna fashion, we were offered a free dessert a free dessert, a very fancy kitty cocktail and prosecco with collectors glasses for the adults at the table. We wouldn't have missed this pop-up event for the world.... And look forward to, hopefully another pop-up during the holidays. It's sad to have seen such an old standard leave downtown St Paul shortly after COVID, so we reveled in the short time that we had this past weekend. It was amazing. I hope that Morrissey and the Pazzaluna owners/staff no how much they are loved and greatly missed!!

    These people are pros, from the front desk to valet to room service. Not only are they kind and professional, but they are happy to help sort out any issues that might arise during your stay. The ambiance of this hotel is warm, inviting, and slightly historical. Don't worry, it's also been modernized over the years! This is definitely my go-to destination in St. Paul.

    Here we are back visiting family in St Paul and staying at the hotel for our second time. Everything is perfect here. The front desk lady going all the way outside with us to give directions to dinner location we asked about. Breakfast via room service on Sunday morning was so good with beautiful presentation. We waited just 15 minutes. Enjoyed the little park across street. Library, Sbux & Thai

    I had a nice stay had booked my room through Expedia for a concert at the Xcel. Parking can be expensive but it is anywhere. Walking distance is short with several nearby dining options. Nice Aveda products bedding very comfortable and I enjoyed my stay at this historic setting.

    We stopped by for a quick drink at @saintpaulhotel and we truly enjoyed the cocktails that the bartender whipped up for us! Walking in, you will be amazed by the beauty of the hotel and the architecture! We had a Negroni and a chocolate drink and they were both really solid, good drinks! Definitely on the expensive side for regular cocktails thou! Their food menu looks great and we can't wait to go back!

    Made a stop tonight at the saint paul hotel. This place has always been a favorite of mine because of the large whiskey collection. The staff was extremely professional and everyone seemed happy to help. I sipped on a few glasses of pinot and for appetizers I had the shrimp and those were amazing. The flavor was great and they were cooked to perfection. Also had rhe Cajun beef tips and omg they were nice juicey and tender. Our server Cassie was on top of everything and made sure we were taken care of things promptly.

    Ok. So we just stayed the night and didn't get to dine as we had other plans but we had just the nicest experience, Drew at the front desk was just amazing. Pleasant and welcoming , WH hi h you would think would be a "give me" in the hotel business. This guy, he's the real deal professional! The rooms are smaller and decorated a little old fashioned , but that's the whole point. Clean as a whistle too. The bathroom wax updated and very cozy. The hot water was amazing and the shower head while not super fancy, it h Just felt so good! The real stand out for us was the valet! These guys (didn't see any gals) were Johnny on the spot and super nice! We've been traveling this past year a bit and this was by far the best valet we've had. And that's is meaningful. The grounds were beautiful. Fresh flowers in the lobby. Just a nice night. Thank you

    Stay here!!!! You won't regret it!! One of the cutest hotels and has so much character. Even the bell hops outfit shout classic, timeless, and fun. They have a really awesome bar in here that makes fabulous espresso martinis and the bartender was awesome. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy. I got great sleep while staying here. Staff at front desk was friendly and helpful. Only downfall was that I only got to stay here one night. I'll be back!

    I stayed here in March 2020. Society was seizing up and hiding from itself to save itself, and at just that time I found myself with the awkward need to be out of my house for the weekend. So while this review may have an odd tint to it, I can still very happily report on how comfortable the accommodations were and how well I was treated. I upgraded to a room with a single king sized bed, and I'm struggling to adequately convey just how incredibly comfortable it was. It was just heaven to be relaxing in bed in my room. And since I was just holed up in there for most of my weekend, I also enjoyed sitting in the surprisingly comfortable armchair by the window for quite a while. I ordered room service and got a lot of really good food. I had a pesto chicken pasta that was really delicious, a very tasty wild rice soup, and some more-elegant-than-it-sounds cheese fries. It was great, but the pricing was consistent with the overall level of luxury. So just make sure to keep an eye on that. There were also a bunch of fancy items available from the minibar, but I had unwittingly booked a package that included a $15 minibar credit. I snacked on the chocolate-toffee-pistachio things and they were great! For most people, a big draw of staying at this hotel is the classy ambiance, and it really delivers that. They opened the hotel in 1910, but extensively remodeled the rooms in the 1980s. You kind of get the best of both worlds, because it's got all the atmosphere of its turn-of-the-century origins but it's in great shape. The location on Rice Park makes for great views and quick walks to the Ordway, the Science Museum, and all the great Downtown businesses, every single one of which was closed during my visit. You can also expect to be treated with maximum courtesy, as I was during my stay. I may have come during a time of tumult, but I came for luxury and that's what I got!

    Our stay at St Paul Hotel was amazing! From the moment we dropped our car off for valet to checking in and enjoying the amenities even to the minute we checked out, everything was absolutely brilliant. We stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is conveniently located only a couple of blocks away from the Xcel Energy Center and less than a mile away from fantastic restaurants. In fact, there is even a lovely, upscale restaurant within the hotel (see separate review). Speaking of, we wanted to dine there on our first night but the only open availability was at 8:30 which would have been rather late for me. Upon check-in, we had expressed our interest in dining at the St Paul Grill that evening but wasn't sure how busy they would be. The host graciously offered to check for us while we settle in as the concierge was unavailable at the moment. He promised to do so immediately and give us a call back with an update. Not half an hour later, he attentively informed us of the remaining availabilities for the evening which sadly did not work out but we truly did appreciate the effort. The lobby was quite exquisitely decorated with a piano and a seating area which we learned later was used for events. There was a tea party on Saturday evening with very dressy patrons attending. There is also a small lounge/bar within the hotel. We stopped by and had a couple of cocktails before heading back to our room after dinner one evening. The bartender was friendly and did well with the cocktails! The room itself was nice. It had most of the essentials and stocked with a few adult beverage options and snacks you might want to enjoy during your stay. Of course, for a price but certainly convenient! They do provide you with some comfortable robes as well for lounging. You can also order breakfast for delivery at a time of your choosing. We ordered breakfast and enjoyed it in our room. It was quite nice. Valet service was great. We decided to explore and do some touristy things while there and got our car in no time. When we got back, they attentively valet parked the car once more without waiting too long. Everyone was friendly and very helpful! If I find myself in St Paul again, I would definitely not hesitate staying here. It is definitely a luxurious hotel with wonderful service.

    My view during tea, literally a foot from our table, making it hard to see anything else.

    The Saint Paul Hotel is a gem in the crown of Saint Paul. The Easter Brunch there is well worth the visit and price.

    An older hotel that can use some serious remodeling! However, it was clean and spacious when I…read morestayed there for a conference in town. The location is great, close to downtown St. Paul restaurants and the famous historical Saint Paul Hotel, the Landmark Center, as well as within walking distance to the beautiful Mississippi riverfront. Very helpful staff! Everyone that I saw was polite and eager to make their guests happy. I even got a couple extra of their famous cookies in the evenings when I was looking for sweets. I got a corner room, that was very spacious, with great views of the city and the beautiful cathedral of Saint Paul. One tip for travelers: the 54 bus that comes right in front of this hotel can take you to the airport for just one dollar!

    I recently stayed at the DoubleTree in downtown St. Paul for a weekend getaway, and while there…read morewere some highlights, there were also a few issues that made it a mixed experience overall. PROS: Central Location: Nicely situated right in downtown St. Paul. Easy access to restaurants, parks, and local attractions. Cookie Bonus: Who doesn't love a warm cookie at check-in? A small touch that makes a big first impression. Parking Made Easy: The attached parking garage is incredibly convenient. The hotel validates your stay, and the system recognizes your license plate for seamless in/out access. No fussing with tickets or room keys. Spacious Room Layout: Stayed in a standard King room, which was generously sized with a partial wall separating the sleeping area from a cozy sitting area (two chairs, a table, and a desk). Pool Access: The indoor pool was a decent size--not too deep (max 5 ft), which made it great for kids or casual swimming. On-Site Mini Market: There's a secure, key-accessible snack shop in the lobby, which is super handy for late-night cravings. Friendly Staff (Mostly): Front desk and housekeeping were courteous and accommodating. Nice Event Spaces: Saw a wedding setup during our stay and the banquet hall looked lovely and well-decorated. CONS: Noise Issues: Room doors SLAM shut like thunder, and the walls are paper thin. We heard every door closing, pipes creaking, and hallway footsteps like they were in our room. Tiny Bathroom: Barely enough room to get in and out of the shower without hitting the bathroom door. Extremely cramped layout. Weak Water Pressure: Shower pressure was poor and the water never got more than lukewarm. Accessibility Concerns in Pool Area: No steps or easy access--only metal ladders to get in and out. Not ideal for small kids or anyone with mobility concerns. Dusty Corners: The room was mostly clean but clearly not thoroughly dusted. The divider between the bed and sitting area had thick dust clumps that fell when bumped. No Price Transparency in Snack Shop: None of the items were priced, and it was sticker shock at checkout--$5 to $7 for a soda or candy bar is just absurd. Mixed Staff Vibes: While most were friendly, a couple of the male staff members were noticeably standoffish and made us feel like we were bothering them with basic questions. Overall Verdict: If you're looking for a centrally located hotel with decent amenities and don't mind a bit of noise, this could work for a short stay. But between the thin walls, tiny bathroom, and overpriced snacks, I'd consider other nearby options next time--unless they start charging by decibel level, in which case I want a refund.

I will say that this hotel is located in Lowertown St. Paul, not central / downtown St. Paul, which may be a consideration as far as transport, if you do not have access to a vehicle. If you do, it is such a convenient location but do note that there was apparently a pretty minimal parking fee per night (circa... $15, if I recall what others mentioned correctly).

Then the front desk opened it for me. When I entered, the guy at the front desk said, "You gotta use your key to get in at all times." And I said, "At all times?!? It's only 6PM" -- I would have understood if he said "You have to use your key to come in after 9PM"... but he responded with something about the unhoused population that are in the streets of St. Paul.

Maybe something big (good) is coming for the city!? I hope so. Thanks for being great hosts, and for keeping me safe!
