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.

Shocked, that when I asked her a question she was engrossed in her series ; Grey's Anatomy ?? What a mess! The kind personable individual we checked in with, a smart looking man, was such a stark contrast to this woman who clearly would rather be on her couch watching said series! Such a waste !

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.

The food options are pretty out of this world! Buffet style, nothing super fancy or top notch but…read moreit's free and clean and a really cool opportunity to congregate and graze a wide array of options - hard to beat! Also, everyone gets 2 free beverages! Pool, gym, lobby, and all other common areas are well maintained and the building itself is very secure. All staff members were very accommodating and for the first time in a long time, I was kind of bummed to be checking out of a hotel! I will say that this hotel is located in Lowertown St. Paul, not central / downtown St. Paul, which may be a consideration as far as transport, if you do not have access to a vehicle. 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). The need to pay this fee for parking did get missed by at least 2 of the other parties we spoke to during the stay. Overall, this place is a gem of a find!! I honestly dont think I'll be staying anywhere else in metro St. Paul after experiencing this spot

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.

Definitely appreciate the addition of a breakfast potato as an additional option for vegetarians, as well as all the fixings for a build-your-own breakfast sandwich! However, the synthetic bed linens are almost enough for me to stay somewhere else! You need to know your audience! "Women of a certain age" (moms of college kids) who are hot sleepers do NOT appreciate cheap microfiber sheets that stay hot and don't breathe, and a scratchy, thin, polyester coverlet. Please upgrade your bed linens to 100% cotton! This will make a huge difference!

Felt recently updated. Or maybe the entire hotel is just new? This isn't a read on the hotel-- it's a read on the city of St. Paul: I was trying to come in through the front door with some bags at 6PM one day. I was standing at the door, and it wouldn't open. Then the front desk opened it for me. When I entered, the guy at the front desk said, "You gotta use your key to get in at all times." And I said, "At all times?!? It's only 6PM" -- I would have understood if he said "You have to use your key to come in after 9PM"... but he responded with something about the unhoused population that are in the streets of St. Paul. So... I enjoyed the hotel. But honestly, wouldn't ever come back to St. Paul unless work takes me back there. It felt like the entire city was under construction. Maybe something big (good) is coming for the city!? I hope so. Thanks for being great hosts, and for keeping me safe!

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.

Well not the room But the bed was tiny and shoved in between two walls making me fell claustrophobic! I should of taken a photo but I was so tired I just tried to rest. It was definitely not for two grown adults. I had a hard time getting in and out of bed because they also had a huge nightstand positioned on the one side so you basically had to scooch to the bottom of bed to get out. It was clean room. Continental breakfast was fine. Lots of toiletries and kitchen sink and kurig to make coffee. I think it also had a small fridge. I would have preferred a larger bed and not all the other stuff. Sleep and convince of the green line is the only reason why we stayed here. Love the beautiful door to get to the walkway system from the 2nd floor. Too cool. The pool and gym are awesome as well. Adult only so you don't need to worry about kids slashing and crying.
