The Saint Paul Hotel

This hotel is highly overrated and honestly, I'm surprised they get any good reviews any more. I prefer historic hotels and stay in them often. I have stayed at The St. Paul quite a few times over the past 30+ years and it was always warm and friendly. However, I never will stay again. We just completed a two night stay there in a premium suite. The room itself was dingy and very poorly lit. The drain in the tub was so slow that you had to stand in water during your shower. The bathroom wasn't clean. The furniture was literally so dusty that my black pants had visible white dust on them. The whole room smelled dirty and musty. There was also not a single time during our stay that anyone at the reception desk greeted us, or acknowledged us in any way. The check-in person was curt and dismissive, and the checkout person didn't inquire about our stay, look directly at us, or really say anything to us aside from the bare minimum. There are a myriad of clean, beautiful, and welcoming hotels in the Twin Cities, but this is no longer one of them.

We chose this hotel as a special place to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The hotel was festive and vibrant, the room was lovely and service was perfect. Our room was on the 7th floor overlooking Rice Park. We had drinks & appetizers at the bar and then dinner later in the restaurant. Very happy with our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at The St. Paul Hotel. The setting is beautiful! We had a great view of Rice Park and the Christmas lights there from our room which we requested when booking. We dined at The St. Paul Grille and had an incredibly kind server and wait staff. The room service staff and valets were quick and helpful. We truly had a luxurious stay and would recommend this hotel to all of our friends and family.

Great historical hotel and Great Service. Thanks for the nice visit. Was in St. Paul to see friends and family for Christmas and to take in some entertainment. The hotel is 👌.

Our experience at the St. Paul Hotel was wonderful, however... This hotel is awesome! It's old yes, but rooms were very clean, staff was friendly - especially valet services. The show we saw (It's a Wonderful Life) was wonderful! Almost every experience we had was top notch. The only "bad" experiences we had were the prices of various things: the worst was the bar prices in the lobby (and probably in the main bar, too). You are given this small menu to order drinks and some small food items from. There were 3 drinks featured on the front page, along with prices ($11 - $14). We drank some of these and the drinks were wonderful and at a good price. The ladies in our group each asked for a glass of red wine. Our server brought pinot noir and it was delicious. However... there was no price in the menu and when we received the bill - we found that EACH GLASS cost $24! Our bill for 2 of us cost more than our stay in the hotel for the night. Shame on us for not asking the price of a glass of red wine. Buyer beware!!
