    Efficiency room
    Ann H.

    I had no expectations beyond a clean room in an historical setting. Mission accomplished. Hotel 340 oozes history. Beginning with the lobby, a setting right out of a "roaring 20s" picture, the check-in desk in the corner is unobtrusive and doesn't detract from the stunning setting. The huge fireplace, the grand piano, the dark wood, the open balcony-style second floor, all evoke another era. Above one of the elevator doors is the arrow that shows the elevator's movement between floors as you wait for it to get back to the lobby. Hotel 340 is also confusing. The lobby is on the main floor, but the hotel rooms are on the 10th, 11th, 12th floors. If you're coming in from the skyway, it's not very well marked. It's also not clear which parking deck is associated with the hotel (it's the Capital City garage), but if you find a spot to park on the street and then check-in, they'll direct you. The parking fee is discounted and includes unlimited in/out access for guests. There are several room styles in Hotel 340. All maintain the historical feel, although with a few modern-day conveniences. Knowing I wasn't going to be spending a lot of time in my room, I opted for the efficiency. And that's what it was. The bed, a double, took up most of the floor space. A replica armoire provided a spot for clothing, the desk on the other side of the room held a large screen TV and satellite receiver. There was a small refrigerator, a keurig coffee maker and two bottles of water. Awkwardly, though, I had to unplug the refrigerator to use the coffee maker. The window, probably not part of the updated decor, leaked cold air. St. Paul in November and a little cold air go hand-in-hand, but require an extra blanket. The lobby area of the 10th floor has two large lounge areas to appease any claustrophobia from the small rooms, and are a nice place to chat with other guests. The St. Paul Athletic Club is at your disposal, with a $10/day added charge. It's worth it unless you prefer mall-walking the skyway for free. Hotel 340 is unusual, quirky, and worth a stay or two.

    This has been a nice place to stay. If you like working out it's really good for you. This used to be an athletic club. There is still a gym here. The rooms are clean and the staff is nice. It's connected to the city over walks.

    Hotel 340 is truly a hidden gem in St Paul. It has all the granduer of the Landmark Center, but on a slightly smaller scale. The ballroom is amazingly gorgeous. They have had a lot of employee turnover and are apparently owned by a company that doesn't need business, so it often is empty. However, they are remodeling slowly and the hotel has quite a bit of charm. I have rented rooms a couple times from Hotel 340 and recently hosted my entire family for Thanksgiving there. It is perfect for large groups because there is a nice common living area that can easily handle 20 people. The breakfast is good, the pricing is fabulous for downtown. The walls are pretty thin, but the ambiance of the rooms is lovely. It feels very European in styling, even though the kitchen finishes are fairly cheap. The wood floors, posted beds and vintage styled bathrooms are wonderful. I love that each room is a tad different, some with living areas that are downright charming, and they all have nice tvs. Once the pool and gym are remodeled, that will also be a nice addition. It is VERY hard to make a reservation, with front desk people telling you they'll call you right back and then never following through. There is no website to research the hotel and they go through managers quickly (we had three different managers in just the few months we set up the Thanksgiving trip). So you have to be very clear with your wishes and expect something to get messed up. But they are also good at making it up to you. Now that they have Andy, he seems to be with it and getting the hotel back in shape. Hopefully they'll start hiring some pros to run the place.

    I am so glad I chose Hotel 340. This is an old building which was converted to a hotel about 10 years ago. It has lots of character, and definitely is not a cookie cutter experience. The rooms are a little bit unconventional, but that's due to the fact that they were made to fit existing architecture. Having said that, my room has a microwave, frigerator, small kitchenette setup with sink, a few plates and silverware. The bathroom, however, is where it really gets good. Two sinks, a private cubicle for the toilet, a stand up shower with waist level spray, and a sauna! The staff has been very friendly and informative, I was able to leave my bags with the front desk, since I arrived to St. Paul on an early flight, and check in is at 3pm. They did tell me to check back around 1:30 and they would probably have something for me, but I just roamed the city until after check in time. I simply can not be any happier with the people here! Continental breakfast isn't spectacular, but it has the standards, including a Belgian Waffle maker. Plus there is a large selection of drinks, juices, milk, in a refrigerator in regular size cartons, so you can pour a glass. Cereal, bagels, fresh fruit, muffins, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches to be microwaved, also breakfast burritos which are not store bought! Full use of the 5 floors of gym equipment, as the St. Paul Athletics Club is in the same building. The light rail is steps away, (Central station on the green line) I am writing this review as I await my laundry to finish, in the guest laundry, which is free, including free Tide detergent. Two bottles of water next to the ice bucket every time the room is made up, an assortment of complimentary shampoos and lotions I haven't paid much attention to, except to note it is extensive, and I feel like this hotel just gets it. I'm not being nickel and dimed for the little conveniences. Speaking of money, I checked in on a Wednesday and I'm leaving on a Saturday, cost was $340ish. Not bad at all! (Booked 2 weeks in advance through BJ's travel) My only complaints are the heater/air conditioning unit is extremely loud, but maintenance was literally discussing it with the front desk as I walked up. Also, my room is on an inside wall, so my view is of the windows of the hotel's other rooms. If you want all the conveniences you're used to from the Hilton, with a side of character and charm, give 340 a shot!

    Surprised that Queen Deluxe room was smaller than I envisioned. Bed very comfortable, room clean and quaint, very quiet. Breakfast though quite bad...had to nuke breakfast sandwiches and portions we're limited. Athletic club very nice, with basic access. However, paid non-member rates for massage.

    I stayed here for one night when in St Paul for work. I needed a place that was downtown and cheap. When I called to check on reservations, I told the girl working that I'd take whatever was cheapest as it was just for one night. She suggested the "Effeciency room" for $90. She warned me it was very small and so I knew what I was getting into. Small is right. Wow. So...you open the door and are met by a narrow hallway leading to a room about 10x12 . The bathroom is a door off the narrow hallway and up two steps (great for smashing toes in the middle of the night) The bathroom had a sink, toilet and shower (I was warned about no tub), the room..well...it had a twin bed and a night stand. On the wall across from the bed was a TV. It also had a small fridge, coffee maker and microwave. The place was so small I could nearly lay on the bed, stretch out my arms and touch both walls. The room was on the 10th floor and the single window overlooked a rooftop and did provide a good view of the state capitol. Sounds awful...BUT...I had been warned the place was small, and for the space they had to work with, and for what I needed, it was nice. Hardwood floors with a rug, tastefully furnished, crown molding, it was a *nice room*! For one person, namely me, it was fine. My only gripe was the air conditioner barely worked- To be fair, it was boiling hot and disgustingly humid outside that day and the little air conditioner just couldn't keep up. Being on the 10th floor didn't help. I spent a very uncomfortable night tossing and turning in a hot room. Again, my expectations are realistic, this is an old building and we were 10 stories up. In the morning I told the front desk clerk about the a/c and he was very helpful and concerned- he offered to comp my room but I was getting reimbursed from my work so it didn't matter. He also commented that as the coming day was supposed to be just as hot, if not hotter, he would make sure no one else used the room until the a/c could be looked at. I was impressed by his concern. Other good points- they let me check in 3 hours early because no one had my room the night before, and the satellite TV was nice. I beat the heat that evening by getting some off-sale beer, laying in bed and watching a Simpsons marathon. .Also free wi-fi and a very nice continental breakfast complete with make your own waffles. Access to the downtown skyway is nice and the doors are locked at 8PM for the safety of guests. There are a lot of good eating and dining places within walking distance, and also, this is a *beautiful* old building. They have tried very hard to keep the vintage look, with lots of dark wood, high ceilings, brass, the front lobby is breathtaking. Also my floor had a couple of what I'd call "reading lounges" with couches, lamps and bookcases of antique books. It's like stepping back in time to 1917 when the building was first built. 4 stars instead of 5 because of the hot room but I will be back- I loved this place!! Next time I'll bring the wife and pay the extra money for an actual room. James at the front desk- thanks for all the help and concern, your employer can be proud to have you on staff..

The hotel is beautiful and the lobby was even more dazzling as it was decorated for the holidays. The rooms were pretty standard in decor but even the "basic" rooms are larger than many I've been in. There was a desk for me to get some work done and a chair if I had guests. With a lot of extra room between the bed and TV, just in case you want to do some yoga. A few of my colleagues got suites and they were 2 rooms with many sitting areas and a couch. The bed is very soft and not my favorite, but still good. There were plenty of blankets and pillows as well. I will say heating and cooling the room had a bit of a learning curve. It was pretty cool outside when I visited but inside the room was mid 60s. I like it at around 70 so the heater would heat then go off then go back on not long after. So if you visit in the cooler months, and are like me I suggest mid 70s for the thermostat. All had the standard TV and books about the area. It also had a snack bar, drinks in a small frig and a mini mini mini frig for me to put food in. The frig find those side sandwiches sized to go containers so keep that in mind. And like many hotels, the mini bar is no cheap so if you don't want to be tempted you may want to get some snacks. For sound, I will say you can hear the street and the park had some music playing so that could be heard. On the flip side, I was right next to the elevators and couldn't hear them at all. The location was not far from the airport, 30 minute drive, but there isn't a lot of parking if you're renting a car. It is close to many areas like restaurants, the hockey rink, coffee shops, offices. Most places are either a 15 to 20 minute walk or even shorter drive. I had my choice of restaurants while there. While I wouldn't advise walking, like I did, the Capitol building and Summit Hill were close to see when there is a bit of free time. All in all, it was a lovely stay and should I be back will be my first choice.

Upon…read morechecking in I encountered an extremely blank-faced and unfriendly desk clerk, which upon further interactions with the front desk staff appeared to be the norm. In the room I noticed a chip in the bathtub edge and a loose shower-head. Aside from an elaborate lobby nothing about the hotel stood out as a self-billed luxury hotel. The room was quiet and had decent views of Rice Park. I 'm not sure that I'd stay here again.

The location is great, close to downtown St. Paul restaurants and the famous historical Saint Paul Hotel, the Landmark Center, as well as within walking distance to the beautiful Mississippi riverfront. Very helpful staff! Everyone that I saw was polite and eager to make their guests happy. I even got a couple extra of their famous cookies in the evenings when I was looking for sweets. I got a corner room, that was very spacious, with great views of the city and the beautiful cathedral of Saint Paul. One tip for travelers: the 54 bus that comes right in front of this hotel can take you to the airport for just one dollar!

    I recently stayed at the DoubleTree in downtown St. Paul for a weekend getaway, and while there…read morewere some highlights, there were also a few issues that made it a mixed experience overall. PROS: Central Location: Nicely situated right in downtown St. Paul. Easy access to restaurants, parks, and local attractions. Cookie Bonus: Who doesn't love a warm cookie at check-in? A small touch that makes a big first impression. Parking Made Easy: The attached parking garage is incredibly convenient. The hotel validates your stay, and the system recognizes your license plate for seamless in/out access. No fussing with tickets or room keys. Spacious Room Layout: Stayed in a standard King room, which was generously sized with a partial wall separating the sleeping area from a cozy sitting area (two chairs, a table, and a desk). Pool Access: The indoor pool was a decent size--not too deep (max 5 ft), which made it great for kids or casual swimming. On-Site Mini Market: There's a secure, key-accessible snack shop in the lobby, which is super handy for late-night cravings. Friendly Staff (Mostly): Front desk and housekeeping were courteous and accommodating. Nice Event Spaces: Saw a wedding setup during our stay and the banquet hall looked lovely and well-decorated. CONS: Noise Issues: Room doors SLAM shut like thunder, and the walls are paper thin. We heard every door closing, pipes creaking, and hallway footsteps like they were in our room. Tiny Bathroom: Barely enough room to get in and out of the shower without hitting the bathroom door. Extremely cramped layout. Weak Water Pressure: Shower pressure was poor and the water never got more than lukewarm. Accessibility Concerns in Pool Area: No steps or easy access--only metal ladders to get in and out. Not ideal for small kids or anyone with mobility concerns. Dusty Corners: The room was mostly clean but clearly not thoroughly dusted. The divider between the bed and sitting area had thick dust clumps that fell when bumped. No Price Transparency in Snack Shop: None of the items were priced, and it was sticker shock at checkout--$5 to $7 for a soda or candy bar is just absurd. Mixed Staff Vibes: While most were friendly, a couple of the male staff members were noticeably standoffish and made us feel like we were bothering them with basic questions. Overall Verdict: If you're looking for a centrally located hotel with decent amenities and don't mind a bit of noise, this could work for a short stay. But between the thin walls, tiny bathroom, and overpriced snacks, I'd consider other nearby options next time--unless they start charging by decibel level, in which case I want a refund.

If you do, it is such a convenient location but do note that there was apparently a pretty minimal parking fee per night (circa... $15, if I recall what others mentioned correctly).
