Top St. Croix Islands State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly and helpful. Common areas of the hotel were well kept and clean. Felt safe and lots of staff in lobby to help as needed. Appreciated the small cafe for weekend, when most of downtown was quiet/closed. Close to riverwalk which was clean and had many bikers/runners. Bathroom in the room was in good shape, great shower. Towels could use a bit more substance/refresh. Furnishings in the room itself were showing wear and some surfaces could use a good clean (welcomed to my room with a handprint smear on the door, so not the best first impression). Overall, felt safe and reasonably clean for a few nights stay! If staying for a conference in this area again, likely would chose this location."

DoubleTree by Hilton Roseville Minneapolis

8/10 Good

"There’s a Starbucks on the property but it’s not like the corporate Starbucks. They made me a Chai tea latte with oat milk, and it was “burnt”. The base mix they also used came from a jug - not the Starbucks base. Tasted awful, I had to throw it out I couldn’t drink it. The hotel was clean, hot tub is the kind that shoots water up at the edges. The room attendant did a great job, we were there 2 nights. Breakfast buffet was just ok."

The Saint Paul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great neighborhood, walkable to the Grand Casino Arena (5 minutes) with a park just across the street. Friendly and accommodating staff, valet parking. Beds were very comfortable. We had too short a stay to fully enjoy the property, but long enough to know we will stay there again."

Water Street Inn

8/10 Good

"Good location. Bed was very uncomfortable but everything else was great!"

Drury Plaza Hotel St. Paul Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast, dinner and drinks were all great. Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful hotel."

Hyatt Place St. Paul/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Second time guest. Really appreciate the beautiful and historic post office building it's created within. If you love architecture, this place is a gem. Yes, it's a further walk from the arena than other hotels, but it is still very doable. And what you are getting in return is a beautiful property. A HUGE room with a lounge area, private bathroom and the tallest ceilings you have ever seen. It is QUIET, So quiet. I don't know how they do it, but you don't hear other guest noises. It is CLEAN. I always feel safe. It is secured entrance by key card no matter the time of day. And a security guard roams the halls doing nightly checks and such. Free breakfast in a large sunlit room is always a bonus. My only tiny feedback would be that if you are late to breakfast cut off time, the food can be lukewam or even cold. But that is a ME issue for not getting up sooner. I didn't use the amenities on either of my two stays, so can't speak to the pool area or meeting rooms etc."

Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown St. Paul

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, refreshments, valet. Walking distance to the grand casino arena."

DoubleTree by Hilton St. Paul East

8/10 Good

"Overall it’s a pleasant stay."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel St. Paul Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay in a quality hotel with all the amenities required. Nice staff that were very helpful."
