The property can be tough to find at night if you are unfamiliar to the area, and you may find yourself squaring the block until you find the circular driveway approach to the Hotel. To that end, valet service is available beginning at 5am, and is a huge help here. It's both quaint but quiet. Full mini bar and all the amenities you'd expect from an upscale Hotel.

The rooms feature wooden frames and drabby colors. My room was on the smaller side, but offered all the essential: bathroom, desk, chair and bed. The gym was on the top floor, and while small features common cardio and strength training equipment (treadmill, elliptical, leg press, free weights, yoga balls). The space feels intimate. A lot of the machines are quite close together because the space isn't super large. From the MSP airport, it's about a 20 minute drive.

The lovely woman at the front desk was super cool. She shared a bunch of information & history of the hotel. She also gave us permission to explore so we could go look at all the art work. Each floor is different. The bar staff was also really friendly. I could hang out here every day. I found a little room off the side of the bar that is my favorite. If you are going to show down town & want to avoid crowds this might be a good place. Parking is a little tricky though.

This hotel is certainly older, but it's not terrible…read more The check-in was quick, friendly and informative, but the lobby area is a strange space that doesn't really feel welcoming but rather cramped. They have a restaurant but the hours are strange and don't seem to be accommodating to an all meals situation such that if you need 3 meals a day you couldn't go to their in-house restaurant. The rooms, well, I only had one room, but it seemed fine, a little dark though even with lights in the front, the small kitchen area (microwave, bar and refrigerator), the desk, the corner by the window and around the bed. The temperature control is great, I loved it. There is a small closet, a dresser, a desk with chair, an armchair, a bed and bedside tables, a bathroom and a TV. Standard stuff, and all was functioning except there was a non-functioning alarm clock. The bathroom sink and tub fixtures had seen better days, showing some wear and tear so that some of the chrome finish was chipping. Nice toiletries brand here, Crabtree & Evelyn stuff. The hallway carpet was not looking its best though, as it had bunched up in some places outside of the room. The carpet inside the room seemed fine. The bed was clean and comfortable, but I like to have more than a sheet and a thin cover. Luckily the room temperature was easily adjustable. Good number of pillows, yay! Overall, the standard room had all my needs met and plenty of space for me to just do whatever I wanted with my stuff and not have to care about where to place anything. If you have a sensitive sense of smell, the whole building does have an older building smell but nothing atrocious or foul. I did use the fitness center, and I was pleasantly surprised by the equipment from a Peloton bike to modern treadmills with TV screens and many program choices. The weight machine has seen better days with the part for pull ups looking rather rusty, so I didn't trust to use that. There were dumbbells, too, so that's nice. No one was there when I used it, but it isn't the largest, so it could potentially be filled up quickly. There are towels, a water cooler and a scale, as well. It looks out onto the pool but is open 24 hours unlike the pool. If you just drive to check-in and never walk outside onto the street, you'll not notice the location is not the most ideal in terms of just outside there is a distinct odor and on the block of this hotel the sidewalks strangely have a lot of bird parts - literally. I know it's not right on the property, but it's within a block where if you walk outside you smell stale urine, may smell some marijuana (depending on time of day) and also see bird poop, bird legs, bird wings and bird feathers. I can't explain it -it's not like one bird smashed into the building nearby and you see the remains, it's far more than one strewn over a large length of sidewalk near buildings within the block of the hotel. In addition, there are folks who hang out nearby the building at different times of the day/night, so just be aware of your surroundings.

I did figure out there is a main switch by the door that turns most stuff on, but it's also a 3 way switch to the individual fixtures. So I spent 3 days trying to figure out the right up-down combo. 2 lights I never did figure out. Also worth noting is that it is very close to the medical center, so there were sirens every few minutes. I got used to it but very loud at first.

There was one lightbulb burnt out in our room and three lightbulbs burnt out in the bathroom. The panel covering the bathroom sink bottom had fallen off. The towels were cheap white fabric and not classy. One of the bannisters on the spiral staircase rail was loose and wobbly that could cause a tripping accident. There were lots of spider webs on the boat's exterior and a stain on the cushion of a deck chair. Breakfast was almost inedible because the hash browns and mini quiches were blackened and burnt. Skip the breakfast! The cabins are still unique, but be aware to arrive with low expectations as far as being a guest-ready B & B.

Pull-out sofa bed gave us each our own bed (room with 2 queens). Littler kiddos love splashing in their shallow play pool with waterfall feature and slide. It was pretty hot so we didn't do a lot of walking, but when we did--it's centrally located to some nice eateries/bakeries, the river (the old man, the old miss, the old mississip, deeeeep river), a great record store, a great old candy shop, and some nice plazas with Peanuts statuary.

But entering our hotel room, itself is not great. There are chipped paint on the walls and the windows. The bed room is tiny, just big enough for a queen bed and some walking room. The bathroom is also tiny with a walk-in shower. I just assume it's what happens when you keep the original structure of a building built in 1917 to cater to "super size me" America. But that's ok. What you REALLY pay for is having access to the entire Saint Paul Athletic Club. I think that itself is worth the stay. ...unless you don't work out then I think there would be other problems... :\ Things they could improve on would be the continental breakfast and house keeping. The breakfast isn't even as good as what you'd get at a chain hotel like Best Western. The sheets were musty smelling and the house keeping lady gave us some major 'tude when we told her and even mocking our term "musty" as she walked away. And I found a q-tip in the sitting room.

This of course came with a cost because if you loose the key the cost is about $150 bucks fee. My room was so elegant and very fitting for a staycation. The only thing I noticed is that the walls are a bit thin so the sound does travel. Luckily, I had some mature neighbors and didn't have to worry. I took advantage of the SPAC- Saint Paul Athletic Club facilities while I was there- Sauna, Steam room, and pool. Sad they didn't have a hot tub, but I made due. This is a hotel that you can go to and be very low key. They don't have a restaurant on site but their continental breakfast is a great deal. Everything was fresh. They did a great job with fully stacking the food and providing an array of options. Would highly reccommend and would return.
