“They just don't make 'em like this anymore”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Located in right downtown St. Paul an only a couple of blocks from the Mississippi river, the Saint Paul Hotel is a historic classic motel well known in the Twin Cities. It is by far the nicest hotel in downtown St. Paul so it's best suited for those traveling on business and needing to work with many of the larger companies that are headquartered, or have large offices, right in downtown St. Paul. It's an older building but magnificently well maintained and when you walk in the lobby you know you are walking into history... literally. I'm not sure of the exactly date but when the St. Paul hotel was built in the early 20th century it was when there were Trolley cars running throughout downtown St. Paul.

The rooms are quite nice, if not a little smaller than some of the newer hotels, but they have an old style charm that is hard to duplicate. There are a few 'quirky' rooms that are located next to the elevators where due to the placement of the elevators the set up of the room is almost in triangle and much smaller, but if you get one of these you can always ask for another to see if they can move you to a nice room.

They have a nice gym on one of the higher floors so that as you are working out you have the most beautiful view.

The staff is top notch and as I have stayed many times I was often recognized if not by name, but with a nice, "Welcome back" when checking in. There is also one of the finest restaurants in downtown St. Paul in the building and another nicer hotel located below the lobby where you can have lunch and breakfast.

There are some larger hotels in the downtown St. Paul area, but none of which have the charm that The St. Paul Hotel does. I've stayed at others, but only when the St. Paul hotel sells out, which it often does which is another good sign of a well run hotel.

Room Tip: Don't wail until the last minute to book your room. There are many events in St. Paul with the...

“Great Historic Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

The St. Paul Hotel is a wonderful hotel with over 100 years of history at its downtown St. Paul location. Some of the rooms are a bit small, but they are furnished with beautiful motifs, are very quiet and have nice downtown views. What really sets the St. Paul Hotel apart is great service and a feeling of complete elegance. It has an ideal location and you can walk to many wonderful restaurnants, bars and shops.

“Great hotel - a must stay in St. Paul!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

This is a grand old hotel and maintained in a nice period style. The staff are very professional and courteous. Very comfortable rooms and well appointed. The Queen size rooms are quite small, so try to make sure you get a King size room. The lobby bar is functional but a bit cramped. The M Street cafe is great for breakfast and is very comfortable for a business meeting. Well located and positioned for both pleasure and business.

Room Tip: Ask for a room overlooking the city square which is lit up well in the evenings. King rooms are gen...

“BEAUTIFUL & EXCELLENT LOCATION”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Stayed here for the first time to go to a concert at The Xcel Energy Center. The hotel was GORGEOUS! Rooms were very clean and staff was superb! The lobby bar was excellent for cocktails and yummy appetizers! The walk ways to the Xcel Energy Center were perfect! No walking outside!! The Sunday Brunch at M Street Restaurant, in the hotel, was Fab!! Will definitely stay again!!

The hotel is fine, food great, but was not handicap accessible except from the street and in the MN winter, that's not somewhere you want to take a handicapped person. The person taking my reservation did not mention this when I booked our room. I did not get much sleep being there was a service door for employees on our level that slammed shut, and the employees would talk to each other in passing in the middle of the night. We could not reach the skyway or outside cafe's or coffee shops being the access was up 3 flights of stairs, no ramp available. The employees were terrific, except for one person at checkout who made an unnecessary comment when we pointed out an error on our bill. The food in the room and room service is quite expensive.

Room Tip: Make sure you don't sleep near a service door or elevator, and do not bring anyone handicapped t...
