My girlfriend and I had an interesting stay here. We loved the location (in an eclectic neighborhood only a couple miles from the Xcel Center and many bars and restaurants in St. Paul), and the room was very clean, and we appreciated the modern furnishings and the quality of the place. However, we found disappointing a handful of different things about the stay.
First, the stairs were extensive, even for two young, able-bodied people. Second, the air-conditioning unit appeared to not function, or if it did, it is far enough away from the corner with the bed that you don’t get any airflow when you are trying to sleep. We had trouble getting to sleep both nights because of the high temperature of the room. To be candid, we both had to sleep without the comforter and even still we were sweating throughout the nice because of how hot it was. We then had to resort to opening the window behind the bed, which left the room extremely loud because of the passing traffic and pedestrians walking by that could be heard throughout the night. Lastly, on our last night there, the keypad to one of the doors up to the room just didn’t work, so we were stuck outside for close to 45 minutes at night with our dog up in our room before the tenant in the other room could come let us in.
All in all, the location was great and the price was right, but because of the many different negatives that were uncovered over the weekend, we will likely not be coming back.
