6.8/10

I couldn't believe the breathtaking view of downtown from my room. The bed was so comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was just what I needed. However, the room wasn't exactly what I had booked, which was a bit disappointing.

Rooms

8.0

My room was modern and perfect for the concert venue. The bed was super comfortable, and I enjoyed the great breakfast in the morning. The view of downtown was absolutely breathtaking, but it wasn't the same as what I booked.

Service

7.0

The staff was right there to offer assistance, very friendly, and helpful. They seemed friendly, competent, and always ready to assist guests. However, there was one incident where they were unwilling to even look for a room for us, which was disappointing.

Location

6.5

The location was slightly off the beaten downtown path, which allowed for lower prices compared to hotels in the immediate downtown. While a little inconvenient for my event, it was clean with good space and storage. The hotel's proximity to St Paul or Minneapolis was convenient, but it was right at the freeway exit where traffic jams usually start, which could pose a challenge.

Dining

5.0

The dining wasn't a great value and just average, at least among the hot offerings. Additionally, it wasn't free and had no table wait staff, costing extra from the stay. I did appreciate the vegetarian food options available.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel facilities were good overall, but I wished they were slightly more in line with the price paid for the stay.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The rooms were huge, had a great view, and were very affordable. They were comfortable, clean, and offered at a very competitive rate. The storage space was impressive, and having a little fridge and microwave was really nice. The location was perfect for the concert venue, which was a big plus.

The dining experience was excellent, with a nice helping of steel-cut oatmeal. However, some staff working evening and night shifts were not the best at helping customers. Not a great value among the hot offerings.

They were clean and had good amenities with a decent view. The service, especially in the bistro, was amazing, with extremely polite and helpful staff, who even assigned me to another room when needed. The location was convenient for the light rail and within walking distance to various attractions. The dining experience was excellent, with at least among the hot offerings and a nice helping of steel-cut oatmeal available. Overall, the facilities were top-notch, making my stay memorable.
