Flew in from Chicago for a wedding and stayed with college friends. Every time I visit, I'm amazed…read morehow this city keeps getting better and better. The wedding was held at 300 Clifton, in Loring Hills on estate row. It's a landmark estate previously owned by a lumber baron at the turn of the century. 300 Clifton (named after the street it's on) was recently purchased, restored and is being used as a historic six-bedroom B&B and event venue. My neice Ali's wedding, reception and dinner was held outside, on the beautiful estate grounds. The bride and groom stood on the front porch and greeted the 150 guests... a wonderful idea I wish more couples would follow. The ceremony was held on the lawn under the the rose bush trellis. The bar was set up on the enormous back porch. A 5-course dinner was served under a huge tent, complete with fans (it was over 80 degrees). The only time I went inside was for wedding cake, so I only got a quick peek at the public rooms. Would love to come back for a tour. I can't think of a more lovely place to hold a wedding than here. My only suggestion is that they add more restrooms.

EEK! Bed Bugs in the blue room in the Carriage House. Recently stayed here and woke up one morning…read morewith bites above my knee and found 3 dead bugs on the sheets. It was a Saturday and no one was in the office and the owners are not listed on the website, plus NO phone number on the website. Finally I saw a worker loading a van and told him and he responded immediately texting the owner. They were full that night and couldn't put me in another room and offered to find a local hotel (which later they reneged on); the worker said they did call for inspection and said repeatedly they would reimburse my stay for the inconvenience. It was annoying not to have any communication with the owner and only when I got home on Sunday did they email to say there was nothing (who knows if that is true) and no mention of a refund. Very disappointed.

At first look, walking into the historic building it feel extravagant and almost like you can feel…read morethe history in the atmosphere. The reception was super nice and everyone was respectful. 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.

Parking: free after 6pm, valet available, street parking - have to pay up until 6pm (2-3hr parking) Food: steak, chicken with pesto and potatoes with asparagus - everything was delicious! My steak was medium well- would have loved well done but it was part of the event so I can't complain! Dessert: the tray of dessert was good! Tirimisu (I've had better), cannoli - tasty and light, Lemon tart was definitely a hit I enjoyed two events there and it was a great experience! Staff were nice!

I've stayed in several luxury hotels, 4 seasons being one of them with way more accommodations for the price. Champagne upon arrival, champagne in our room very attentive staff etc. they do however have complimentary bike rentals which was a very fun surprise, we took a little stroll around, it's great being near so many restaurants walking distance. There was also a shuttle driver so that was a great addition. Our room service however took over 50 minutes to arrive.. we didn't get waters which I feel is a typical thing to provide with room service and my coffee arrived cold. we wanted late check out , they offered an additional hour and if we wanted any longer than that it would be an additional $75. No thank you. I too feel very out of place here in wayzata, so I don't know if it's a town I'd keep on my radar for future stays.

But after finding out about their mission to provide adults with autism jobs, I felt even more intrigued by this boutique hotel. Located in Edina, a quiet suburb of Minneapolis, Erik's has extremely easy highway access and on a main thoroughfare (Xerxes). It's surrounded by assisted living homes, as it used to be one itself! But you'd never know - although the interior lobby has very eclectic decor (you can take a tour to find out more on the art collected by the building's former owner, in addition to other activities hosted by the hotel's staff), the rooms are extremely modernized and comfortable. In our room, we had a Keurig, mini fridge, a fantastic shower with HOT water, suuuper comfy bed, outlets with USB ports, and a TV that had Netflix access. The color scheme is elegant neutrals, and our room had a lovely grassy courtyard view. Due to the COVID pandemic, when we booked, the staff gave us a call and instructed us how/where to park and how to access the room without coming in contact with staff. We also were reassured that they had upped their sanitizing and cleaning processes, and asked to wear masks whenever we were in public hallways. We had no problems "checking in" over the phone. We also were told that normally we are able to request our breakfast items each day, but due to limited interaction, enough breakfast items for the duration of our stay (apples, oranges, Chobani yogurts, tea bread) were placed in our room before our arrival. Honestly, we preferred it this way! We'd totally stay here again, and I'd urge anyone on the fence to try it. Some notes: the parking is in a safe, but outdoor lot about a 2-3 minute walk away. Our room temperature was comfortable, but when we were feeling warm and wanted to turn up the AC, we found it was already at the lowest temp it could go.

Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to meet the owner of this B & B, not sure if it would have…read moremade a difference in our experience or not. She was pleasant and friendly over the phone when I made our room reservation. I will say most of the B & B's I've enjoyed, was partially because we had a chance to get to know the owners a bit and see how passionate they were about making a great B & B experience for everyone who stayed with them. So, maybe I've just been spoiled a bit by the extent of the services and amenities others offer, but that's my comparison. What this place does have going for it, is it's location. However depending on where your room is, you'll hear the traffic noise as this is located on a busy street. Also, the fact that there isn't really much else around lodging accommodations limits your choices for this area. There is private parking for guests. The room was clean and comfortable. It was lacking the extra little touches that many travelers have come to appreciate from bed & breakfast operators-shampoo, blower dryer, complementary water or soda, glassware or plasticware instead of dixie cups in the room. Self service coffee, tea and microwave popcorn was available in the dining area. For the price of the rooms, the little extra touches might have helped.

But hey, our hosts were relaxed and friendly, and the folks we sat down with to breakfast had fun stories to tell. The rooms are idiosyncratic but charming. The bathrooms: just idiosyncratic, but they worked. Breakfasts on the weekends were more elaborate and tasty, and on weekdays simpler but adequate. I get the feeling this may vary with the number of guests. The Birdhouse is on a "busy" intersection which is no big deal because Excelsior is a pretty quiet little town; and a charming one. You are a walk away from good shops and restaurants. You are a very short walk from Lake Minnetonka and its activities. The Porch and grounds are delightful. If you get the right weather for it, lazing outside could be a delicious experience, with an elevated view of the neighborhood. Of course, getting bearable weather (not too many mosquitoes, not too much heat and humidity, not 5 degrees below zero, can take scheduling and luck. In the winter, I imagine the large parlor would be very inviting. So a point off for the various weird bathrooms, which were all functional but awkward, but all in all, I will be staying there again, the next time I visit relatives.
