This place is a gem, if you are comfortable with old, slightly shabby yet elegant, historic buildings, full of personality. If you like the standard sterile hotel chains this is not for you. The rooms are spacious and imaginatively decorated with antiques, the beds are very comfortable with lovely linens, and the views...the views! Outside to the front is the... More

Visited Alma with family for a birding event and stayed in the Garden Suite. This two bedroom apartment is amazing! So spacious and elegantly furnished, with lots of artful and comforting touches. The courtyard and European style gardens provide a lovely surround for this special and nurturing environment. Dan's warmth and commitment to offering a quality experience was apparent from... More

The Garden Room is an apartment. Two bedrooms, a full kitchen, living and dining rooms, an enclosed front porch and one bathroom. The back of the room overlooks the beautiful gardens. Dan has done a beautiful job with the gardens and it's worth a stop just to see them; even if you don't book a room. There's a coffee and... More

The rooms were spacious and gorgeous and the atmosphere was fantastic. We definitely will be back.

We visited the Hotel de Ville for the second time in the past year and will definitely return often. The accommodations exceed the standard hotel room in many ways. We brought friends along this time and they were very pleased with their suite. We'll recommend this lodging to everyone we know!

Our room was actually a suite, beautifully decorated, with a full kitchen and lovely sitting area. It was... More

We enjoyed all of the unique touches, and the garden was incredible. I felt like I was back in the Bavarian Alps! I would... More

I LOVE this place. I had no idea there was such a charming and quaint little town so close to the Twin Cities. There is no doubt this town belongs in California - reminds me of some of the cute little towns in the Gold Country. It's an easy drive from Mpls/St. Paul - and the bonus is the beautiful... More

The Garden Suite is part of the Hotel de Ville's collection of unusual, wonderfully decorated rooms, suites; there's even a separate cottage! My favorite will always be the Garden Suite. It consists of 2 bedrooms, bathroom, a living room, dining area, full kitchen and sunroom. All are decorated in high Victorian style with gorgeous chandeliers, wallpaper and kick nacks in... More
