Loved the feel of the hotel, European but with Minnesota nice
Pros:

Very cool location! Reminded me of being in Italy.
The bartender Justin was very friendly and made a great old fashioned! All the staff was very kind and respectful. Room was very clean and had full amenities

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn’t like per se, I wish they’d told us when we checked in that the windows had pull down shades, we did not figure that out until our second night. The first night we had to open the windows and hang our coats up to hide the light

Quirky, friendly, good breakfast and location
Pros:

The location and the quirks of the place, I get the idea it used to be connected to a church of some sort. My room was clean, efficirnt use of space, nice bathroom, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was simple but very good. I was not very far from light rail and bus lines (eg 63) to get around.

Cons:

My room (104) was not too pleasant. Ground floor, air shaft, lots of all night, light and motor noise. The crash of trash into the dumpster. Window could only be opened a few inches for ventilation. I appreciate the efforts to make it better for sleeping, eg blackout shades, frosted glass, but unfortunately, I did not sleep that well. I should have asked to see whether there was any other room available.

Loved it, and would return
Pros:

The whole vibe of the place is notable. I booked it for my co-worker and I, with my interest in history, historic buildings, and ghosts :) as well as the value. There was a small but ample breakfast buffet where we could eat in the old sanctuary. The staff, especially the manager at desk, were wonderful. When my flight was delayed and I missed my first night, I called to make sure the rest of my stay wouldn't be cancelled. She was efficient and friendly, very personal level of service and communication, and was just as nice in person, if not more. My room and bath were comfortable. I would definitely return when I am in St Paul!

Cons:

The only improvement was if the beautiful bar was open a bit longer, perhaps 9 or 10, though I understand not a lot of guests to support staying open. There was a pretty full bar when he called last call at 8 or 8:30, we were glad we made it for a nightcap as the bar and first floor are really vintage.

Convenient location and comfortable.
Pros:

Close to downtown. Enjoyed the reuse of the building. The front staff were very friendly.

Cons:

Needs luggage racks in the rooms. Needs guest washing machines. Provide an afternoon happy hour.

Pros:

I booked this for one night too short of what I actually needed, and the staff was kind and easily able to extend us out one more night. I appreciated how quick and easy that process was.

Cons:

Something happened with my Booking.com reservation where it changed my name to Kyle. I’m certain I didn’t do that, I don’t even know a Kyle (haha), and all my confirmations had my name correct. I had to basically convince the hotel that my name is not Kyle and my husband’s name is not Kyle (my wife’s name is Jessica). They almost didn’t honor our reservation, which was pre-paid and we wouldn’t have gotten any of the money back. This was a very stressful start to our trip and seemed entirely unnecessary.

Booking.com did not advertise the hotel well. I thought we were booking a “normal” standard hotel but this was an old nun’s convent. While this is certainly a historical location and a beautiful building, we should have known this before deciding to book. We were shocked to walk in and basically be in an old church. Ultimately not a big deal, but Booking.com needs to be better about that so other people aren’t taken off guard, too.

For the hotel itself, when they would “clean” the room, it was just giving new bathroom towels and emptying that garbage. They didn’t make the bed or clean up anything else like normally done in a hotel. Also not really a big deal, but when we are staying at a hotel and paying a good amount of money, it would be nice to at least have the basic amenities offered when the hotel doesn’t offer any others.

There were no dressers at all and a total of 4 hangers were in the closet. There was one desk with a drawer, but the handle was broken off.

The water filling machine was out of service the entire stay and there was nowhere else to get water at the hotel. They provided two tiny water bottles, which was nice, but not nearly enough. We had to go to the gas stations down the street just to get water, which was an inconvenience.

Historic Hotel
Pros:

The historic appearance and beauty. Comfortable bed and large shower. Nice breakfast selections. Lovely bar area and friendly staff.

Cons:

Only about half of the channels on the TV were available. Low shower pressure and bathroom needed painting and repair of towel bars.
