Top Downtown St. Paul Hotel Reviews

Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington

8/10 Good

"Wonderful to stay in, however be prepared for a high energy, buzzing atmosphere with zero “chill” areas. Definitely for an action packed family outing!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bloomington at Mall of America, MN

10/10 Excellent

"Location directly across the street from Mall of America meant no parking drama. We were in town for 3 nights to sightsee and attend a concert at target field. The suit setup with plenty of closet space and two TVs was nice. Breakfast offerings were nice with daily variation of a meat, eggs/omelette, biscuits and gravy, prepared waffles. On site washer and dryer, but they had no soap for sale. There were 2 small pools and a hot tub, but we didn't use them."

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Paul Downtown

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my time at the Drury Plaza hotel. The property was clean and the staff were amazing! I appreciated the 5:30 Kickback hour which allows you to be sociable with the other hotel guests. The only complaint I have are that the cable options are limited when it comes to watching TV, and not having any other options for breakfast meats besides pork sausages. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay at the hotel."
