My wife took me to St. Paul and Chicago for my birthday this last weekend. The Best Western Bandana Square was convenient to the train station and the historical train motif was great. The rooms...we had two...were clean and the breakfast, though not a hot breakfast, was pleasing. Negatively, it was a bit pricey and Spartan when compared to the... More

I stayed here for a business trip. On a Thursday night, the hotel was relatively low-key, but having a room on the pool is an absolute nightmare if you need to sleep early (I need to wake at 3 am for a flight, but the pool is open until 11 pm and people are not very conscious of the guests... More

I was a little hesitant to stay here since it's not in a cute neighborhood or in a bustling shopping/restaurant area, but decided to take a chance since it looked so charming! And it did have lots of character, which I loved. The old train buildings were in tip top shape, and were really lovely. The train motif existed throughout... More

Nikki and Tina at the front desk were very helpful. I booked my stay through Expedia and the hotel hadn't received my information when I arrived to check in. I also had to shorten my stay by a day, but that wasn't a problem. The hotel was comfortable and had character. The pool was just the right size for my... More

I stayed here for a business conference, and was surprised by how great the customer service was. The room was very comfortable and the hotel itself is just lovely. More

I stayed here for business, and was really appalled at the condition of the room. I travel for work about 50 nights a year, and this was the worst room condition I've ever seen. The carpet had huge stains etc etc. The next time I was heading to the area on business I made a reservation, and then cancelled when... More

It's the decor of this hotel that makes it stand out from most other Best Western properties. The hotel is in a converted train depot, which makes the communial areas very unique. There is also a big locomotive right outside the hotel. Aside from that, the hotel is pretty much like any other. Check-in was fast and efficient. Parking is... More

We loved this unique hotel (former train depot) where you can still see the tracks in the ground. It was very reasonably priced for a place that close to both Minneapolis and St. Paul attractions. Yes, it is in an industrial park but who cares if it is very quiet and one has a car. It was actually cheaper than... More

With all the positive reviews of this hotel, I was expecting a better experience. Unfortunately, the rude clerk at check in marred our stay. I felt as though I was imposing on her by suggesting I wanted to check in and by asking a couple of questions. Although the hotel has character, the location does not. It's basically in an... More
