Just Ok

Hotel was nicely kept. Elevators were ungodly slow for some reason or another. Parking was $14.00/Day in their garage, but they did have a shuttle. Room was nice with some amenities that you do not normally see.

How the mighty have fallen

This Holiday Inn is very much like all others, old, worn and not even on par with bargain basement chains. 30 years ago Holiday Inns were special, but hotel chains have advanced and Holiday Inn has stagnated. I stayed here because there no desirable hotel rooms to be found.

Good Location

This is a motel that does not have a lot of extra appeal in an updated style or in providing amenities. It does, however, provide you with a great location - right across the street from the Excel Center, River Centre, Minnesota History Museum and Minnesota Science Museum. If location is your primary reason for selecting a hotel, you could not get a hotel in a better location. If you are looking for overall comfort and those "extras" that many hotels provide, the is not the hotel for you.

Great location for Downtown St. Paul Fun

This was a great hotel in a great location for having fun in Downtown St. Paul. Close to the Xcel Energy Center and the restaurants along West 7th St and close enough to walk to Rice Park and the Ordway.

Great location, excellent service

I have been at this hotel several times. I think it is perfect for "solo" business travel. If you travel with children or if you want to have small meetings at the hotel, I would recommend you going to the Embassy Suites (larger rooms, the office / living room at each suite seats four or five people, and they serve free breakfast). The Holiday Inn has great location, nice and efficient employees, free shuttle to local attractions and there are several restaurants withing a few blocks from the hotel. One more point: depending on the season you travel, you may want to go to the Hilton because it has direct access to the skyway (one of the best features of Saint Paul) or the Embassy Suites because of its proximity to the Regents Hospital

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

When you arrive to MSP, follow the signs for public BUS. For $1.75 (Aug 2011) you can go within 100 yards from the hotel (just ask the driver, the hotel is next to the Excel Center). Otherwise, a cab will cost you around $30-$35

Good location, food; a few complaints

I spent a week at this hotel while I was in town for a seminar. The location was very convenient and within walking distance of a number of good restaurants and other attractions. The hotel was fine and I did not have any particular complaints other than some minor plumbing issues in the bathroom (a slow sink drain, and the handle needed to be wiggled to stop the toilet from periodically flushing itself). The hotel is home to The Liffey Irish pub, which although not as great as I had hoped, was much better than most hotel fare. I ate a lot of meals there and can say that there are some good dishes, as well as some mediocre ones. My biggest complaint was the cost of parking. Previous hotel stays have included free parking and I thought the $15 per night rate was quite outrageous. I will definitely use public transportation next time.

It's not too far to the Science Museum, which is a great visit, especially if you have kids.

Nice hotel, even nicer price :)

Room was small but nice, appeared to be recently updated (decor and newer TV)and it was very clean. Check-in-check out was quick and staff was friendly. Only complaint was the hairdryer in the bathroom did not work.
