Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown, an IHG Hotel

We were there for concert at Excel Energy Center and it's right across the street from hotel, so very convenient. But nice they had a restaurant bar that where we had dinner and drinks before concert and also breakfast in the morning. It was not a complimentary breakfast, but nice it's available. Try the parmesan hash browns. Delicious! All personnel we encountered were friendly and accommodating and that is important to me. Room was clean and comfortable.

Location to the XCel was perfect! We went to both a PWHL and Wild game and it was literally across the street. We could see the Xcel entrance from our room. It was also convenient to the MN Science Center and there was plenty of dining within 2-3 blocks. Area also felt safe for walking during the day and there was plenty of other foot traffic during events. Appreciated that not only was there an indoor pool, but hot tub was well; perfect for the frigid temps. All the staff we encountered was very friendly as well. Always greeted us, whether at the desk or in the elevators, and they were happy to answer questions about the area.

Location was very close to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. There are a lot of dining options in walking distance from the hotel. I liked that the parking lot is locked and secured. The front desk attendant was very nice and efficient during the check in.

The beds were wonderful! They were very comfortable and the pillows were also. The staff was very friendly. Very clean room. The attached restaurant, Wild Bills, had an excellent food choice and the value for your money was beyond expected. The taste was very good.

In my opinion, THE place to stay while attending an event at the Xcel Energy Center. Parking is the best. Hotel location is the best. Value for a place to crash and park is the best.
