How do I LOVE 161 St Anthony Ave, St Paul? Let me count the ways. First and foremost, as in any relationship, romantic, friendship, parental, or yes, absolutely, business, you never know it's truest quality until there is a problem, the bigger the better. Thankfully, my problem with the Best Western/Kelly Inn was not large in the scheme of life... More

We stayed at the Kelly Inn in St. Paul when we were in town for an NHL game. Our room was on the 6th floor. It was a good size, very clean and comfortably furnished with 2 queen beds, lots of pillows, a desk, 2 chairs, a microwave and a frig. We needed to call for extra blankets as we... More

Stayed here for a concert due to closeness to excel energy center. Hotel is ok, but rooms have so much road noise it was impossible to sleep. My friends thought the window had been left open. Also the room was unbearably hot. The toilet looked like it had not been completely cleaned. Not worth the money due to a lost... More
