I was disappointed that the restaurant was closed and I had to pay for parking. The website stated free parking and I had not been charged other times I had stayed at the hotel.

Nice hotel

Pros: I appreciate having the free shuttle service available as well as the friendly helpful staff at the front desk.
As much as I like the hotel and have stayed there a several times. This was the first time I was disappointed in the shuttle service. The driver started driving off before I was completely buckled in, so as a result of his quick driving into the turns several of my personal items fell to the floor of the van as I was trying to get buckled up. He also had gotten an alert from his cell phone and looked at his cell phone while driving. Unfortunately I did not get the gentleman's name but the shuttle service was used approximately 3:15pm on Friday May 18th from the State Office Building back to the hotel.

Perfect hotel for Downtown St Paul

Pros: Free Parking, Free Shuttle, Nice lobby and clean rooms, Nice Staff.
Location: Close to Downtown St. Paul. Perfect for events at Xcel Energy Center or the Science Museum.
We had tickets to the Wild game and this hotel was the closest to the Xcel Energy Center with also free parking. They have a free shuttle to drop you off and pick you up right at the stadium gate. Hotel is freshly remolded and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay. If we ever need to stay in St. Paul again, we will stay here!

Perfect for me.

We came to town for a concert at the xcel center. The hotel was perfect, close enough we could walk or they provide a shuttle to and from. The bed was very comfortable and the room quiet. Water pressure in the shower was great, so often this is a disappointment at hotels. We did not get up for the breakfast so I cannot comment on that. But overall I can not wait to come back again. They are renovating right now and I look forward to seeing the results.

Not The Best Western assumed came with ALL Best W

Facility musty, on our floor the ceiling tiles were buckled and falling(as if something flooded above),wall paper was just hanging down and bits were flying around, and 5 large commercial fans going both nights we were there. When I called down to ask about the situation and the noise, the response was they were just drying the rug, that was at 3pm Friday, we checked out on Sun. When we arrived there was No toilet paper or tissues in the room and 1 set of towels. When we tried the in-house restaurant there was No staff in restaurant, bar area at all. We went looking for someone and a customer walked in the kitchen to tell them we were there. The waitress said-well we're a little busy for a catered deal. I wish I had known the location also. It worried me that there was a police officer telling the desk staff he "got them in the cuffs without much trouble" then I noticed the housing developments near by. Would not have booked it, and will not in the future.
