Expectations
Feb 2015
Our stay at The Manor was the icing on the cake for a wonderful overnight trip to St. Paul The "bed and bath" itself was beautifully decorated with artistic view and cared for by its owner and the personal items such as photos and family mementos added a sense of home to the atmosphere that is often lost in some more commercial establishments. Upon arrival, we were given a tour of the house which included the artworks of Sean- Scorch was a wonderful tour guide - We were shown to our room which was again beautifully decorated. The queen size bed was very comfortable and the massage jets in the Double (yes I said double) shower were a nice touch along with the ability to sit and relax in the shower . Breakfast is not served at this location as it is only a Bed and Bath- however the conversation till midnight with Sean about his ventures and his continued plans of renovation were riveting. The Manors proximity to local foods and the light rail to attractions was very nice . I'm aware of the Frogtown area and it was surprising to find this B-B in the area.
We had reservations one night for the Master Room which was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed the decorative mirror on the ceiling - under recommendations we ate Trotters for breakfast and enjoyed Wet paint on Grand Ave after a night of inspiration from Sean
- You cannot go wrong with The Manor- and its history is interesting conversation as well- I can't wait to see what Sean comes up with for the kitchen renovations as this house is still in the middle of being renovated - his ideas are inspiring-
Oh and ask about the cool tricks that scorch can do- searching was fun to watch!
