My husband and I stayed here for one night in August so we could check out capitol, St. Paul's Cathedral, other downtown sites. Hotel was in okay location--sites above were walkable, but it was hot the afternoon we were there, so the few extra blocks to hotel made a difference. There was a wedding reception at the hotel the night we stayed, so atrium was really loud. Pool also overfull with kids. Evening reception is nice, as is breakfast, but a romantic hotel this is not. Overall, an average experience.

We have been to this Embassy suites on a few prior occasions. It is a classy looking hotel with great employees. We did not get the exact side of the building that we wanted, but the windows did not get much use anyway. They have a small pool and hot tub which we didnt use this time. (Broken arm on son prevented it)
They have a small welcome evening reception, with chips, salsa, and a decent supply of alcohol. They even have drinks for kids, like kiddie cocktails. My daughter loved the cherry in her drink.
The room was nice enough, clean and nicely decorated. There is two rooms in each suite. The bedroom is a good size room, then there is a door and a sitting room. There is a couch and comfortable chair . Theres' a bar area with a small fridge and microwave. There are 3 sinks in the room we were in.
In the morning they have a full breakfast , cooked while you wait. You can choose makings for omlettes, pankcakes, choices of meat. They have a ready made special which was scrambled ham and eggs with cheese. My daughter ate 2 servings of it. They have a grand choice of beverages. Everything from juices to chai tea and cocco, and a big pot of coffee.
We had heard about a family special which turned out to be a good deal. For an extra twenty dollars you get a free pay per view movie and a pizza dinner from room service. The pizza was very good, there is a Uno pizzaria on site.
My daughter loves siting with the live ducks swimming around in the pondworks in the atrium area. We had to drag her out crying this morning. She wasn't done visiting.
All in all some think it is a pricy hotel but when including drinks and a snack , 2 pizzas, 2 pitchers of pop and suite rooms with a full breakfast I don't think 129.00 is too much for a weekend over night getaway.

Great staff, This was our first stay here. We come to St Paul at least twice a year to visit our daughter. The suites were comfortable, even a vanity sink in the bedroom. Comfortable beds,
good working space and rooms fresh and clean. Restaurant food and price good but wine list overpriced.

The buffet breakfast is ample.

The hotet is a little out of the way but the service i and suites are superior to the holiday inn or Crowne Plaza.

Yes you can hear the highway traffic in the morning having lived in NYC we slept through.

I recently stayed here for a conference and and had a very good experience overall. I found the room to be spacious and good for both working and relaxing. I had positive interactions with the hotel staff. The only possible complaint is related to noise...there is a slight amount of highway noise in the room, and also, the cavernous interior of the hotel can get pretty noisy during happy hours and at other times. Much of the noise can't be heard in the guest rooms, but some does seep in.
