I was not impressed by this hotel. For a midwestern city, I found the service unfriendly, particulary the desk staff. We were driving across country had asked for a quiet room and were given one at the end of the hall. The in the morning the housekeepers were gathered there and conversing loudly. I stuck my head into the hall... More

I was staying for medical purposes and this hotel was quiet and comfortable. The room decor was in good condition. The bed fabulous. From my window on the 6th floor I saw the St. Paul Cathedral and St. Paul skyline, lovely during the day and at night the view was quite the treat. All front desk staff was knowledgable, with...

We stayed for two nights and had a great experience. The rooms were in very good shape and clean. The staff was excellent, helpful and very curteous. They even offered a shuttle to the trade show we attended and also offered shuttle service when we went out on the town for awhile. The drivers were very friendly and very helpful.... More

Booked this hotel via Priceline, very good rate @ $50/night. Visiting St. Paul for surgical procedure for our son. Due to its convenient location and accessibility to the local (children's) hospitals, there were several other families there with children requiring medical care (not enough to scare you away, but it was a recommended hotel for hospital visits).

We were in St. Paul for the start of the new academic year at Hamline University helping my girlfriend's son move in to the dorms.

The Kelly Inn is convenient, it's close to a lot of various activities in the St. Paul area which makes it nice. The rooms and items in the rooms could be updated.
