This is a grand old hotel and maintained in a nice period style. The staff are very professional and courteous. Very comfortable rooms and well appointed. The Queen size rooms are quite small, so try to make sure you get a King size room. The lobby bar is functional but a bit cramped. The M Street cafe is great for breakfast and is very comfortable for a business meeting. Well located and positioned for both pleasure and business.

Stayed here for the first time to go to a concert at The Xcel Energy Center. The hotel was GORGEOUS! Rooms were very clean and staff was superb! The lobby bar was excellent for cocktails and yummy appetizers! The walk ways to the Xcel Energy Center were perfect! No walking outside!! The Sunday Brunch at M Street Restaurant, in the hotel, was Fab!! Will definitely stay again!!

The hotel is fine, food great, but was not handicap accessible except from the street and in the MN winter, that's not somewhere you want to take a handicapped person. The person taking my reservation did not mention this when I booked our room. I did not get much sleep being there was a service door for employees on our level that slammed shut, and the employees would talk to each other in passing in the middle of the night. We could not reach the skyway or outside cafe's or coffee shops being the access was up 3 flights of stairs, no ramp available. The employees were terrific, except for one person at checkout who made an unnecessary comment when we pointed out an error on our bill. The food in the room and room service is quite expensive.

The St. Paul Hotel is an historic hotel in the heart of downtown St. Paul. The lobby is very nice and the rooms aren't bad, although they are not the hugest (which is pretty standard of older hotels).

On the one hand, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the beds are very comfortable. But while the hotel is certainly fancy, I wouldn't exactly describe it as luxurious. The bathrooms, for example, are really just a small step up from what you might find in a nice motel, with cheap plastic toilet seats and a motel-style bathtub.

Also, as some others have written, the walls are pretty thin and if you have the misfortune of sleeping near the elevators, you will hear them all night.

Overall, though, very nice and certainly worth the money.
