I just returned from a four-night stay at the St. Paul Hotel and I must stay it was one of the most pleasant hotel experiences I have had in a long while.

I was in town for a conference at the St. Paul Rivercentre and the hotel is within easy walking distance of not only the Rivercentre, but the hockey arena, several museums, restaurants and theaters.

Although St. Paul is a bit...let's say...on the slower side with not a whole lot going on, it really is in a great location.

The beds are extremely comfortable and the property itself is extremely well-maintained. Many times, older properties like this show signs of wear and tear and are not necessarily up to the standards that you might expect from their star rating. The St. Paul is a true gem.

The only issue I had was that there is no wireless access in the rooms. They have wired access, for which they provide a E-net cord, but the convenience of wireless was missed. Complimentary wireless access is available in the lobby.

Great staff, comfortable rooms and a fantastic location made for a great stay in St. Paul. Enjoy!

This is a lovely hotel. I had a king bed room on the 12th floor. The room included a lounge chair and was one of the most comfortable rooms I've ever stayed in. It was clean, up to date and the bed and bedding was very comfortable. The staff is very personable and attentive. Some of the best people I've ever come across. The downtown area of St Paul is very clean and easy to get around. This property is close to the theatre and Xcel Energy Center. There was a bad storm when I arrived, but could not hear or feel a thing in my room. You did not hear your neighbors in their rooms. You could hear some doors shutting in the hallway, but that was not bad at all. The only downside was finding the driveway for valet parking. I never found it. It was busy on the streets that evening with a function at the theatre and it was tough navigating the people. I ended up finding the Lawson parking lot just across the street for $8.00/night and pulled in there to get out of the traffic. A man directing traffic there, told me I was very close to the St Paul Hotel and I was. Only had to take the elevator up, go through the Lawson building lobby and then across the street to the hotel lobby. I did circle the area a few times though and that was frustrating. I was at this property for a meeting. The meeting room was very nice and easy to locate. The meeting room temperature was actually comfortable, which is a huge plus when you are a captive audience for 8 hours!

The St Paul Hotel is not the most "hip hotel" in town, but the service is impeccable and it "reeks" of old world charm!! It's purely and simply a matter of great customer service. Every "service" person I came into contact with was friendly and extremely accommodating. For example, I wanted to get a cab to go to a local restaurant and was told by the doorman that because it was so close to the hotel, they would be glad to take us in the hotel shuttle. When we walked out the door, the driver appeared before us and led us to the van. He gave us a number to call when we were finished at the restaurant and was there immediately. I could go on and on regarding the care and service I received, but you should find out for yourself.

The St. Paul hotel is the place to stay in St. Paul. We had taken a look through the lobby back in February, and decided that we had to stay there, next time. The hotel is on the historic registries, and we adore the grand old hotels. Everything about the hotel, down to the smallest detail is class. The staff is friendly, (especially one of the waitresses in the M St. Grill, who remembered us every day we were there!) the rooms are quiet, the beds are very comfortable, and you are made to feel like an honored guest.
We had a well stocked fitness center at our use, and the 24 hr access was very much appreciated. Loved the turn down service, and the chocolates and Italian spring water! Also very much appreciated the valet service, just leave the car, and they'll do the rest!
At 169 per night Friday and Saturday, and 129 per night Sunday, plus taxes, the prices are very reasonable, and the entire long weekend was very enjoyable.
Yes, we will CERTAINLY be going back there again!
