Top Downtown St. Paul Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, pleasant staff, great restaurant. Just be sure to ask for a room with natural light - friend of mine only had view of the inner atrium!"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott St. Paul Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here often while visiting our daughter at the University of St. Thomas. We love the heated parking, especially in the winter, and the included breakfast is nice! The rooms are modern and very clean. The only issue we’ve ever experienced is the alarm clock has been set in our room (unbeknownst to us) several times. I am not sure how this continues to happen to us, but other than the unexpected alarm at 5:30/6:00am, we really enjoy this hotel. (I now keep a reminder in my calendar to be sure the alarm clock isn’t set when we check into the room)."
