St. Paul, MN

We booked a room through Hotwire (we were told we saved about $80 - but this isn't an ad for them) for a Friday night during a college hockey tournament. I read all the reviews from the beginning of this year, and if there were problems before the renovation, they've certainly cleaned up nicely.

Check-in was quick and uneventful, and we were easily upgraded from two double beds to a King. The reviews are correct about the price for parking, though. $9 a night on weekends is pretty steep considering you can park about two blocks closer to the Xcel Energy Center (the primary draw of downtown St. Paul) for $5, and across the street from the arena for $12-$15.

The room was clean, comfortable, and for the most part, quiet. In fact, the only two picky things about the room were that the mini-fridge made a slight vibration noise when turned to the higher settings (but was whisper quiet on the lower settings), and the bathroom door stuck just a little bit. But other than that... it was a fine stay.

We didn't try the restaurant (we elected to eat at the games), and we didn't swim, but I will say the pool looked surprisingly small. It was about the size of three large hot tubs. More of a "dip-your-toes" pool than one you could swim laps in. But again, that wasn't important to us.

In lieu of vending machines, they have a 24-hour pantry with munchies, sandwiches, drinks and travel incidentals. While it wasn't as convenient as having vending on every floor, it does allow them to have a larger selection of items.

For a three-star hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn City Center in downtown St. Paul is a perfectly fine choice. I won't say it went out of it's way to wow us, but overall, we had no complaints.

I was so afraid to stay here because of the horrible reviews I read. I didn't have a choice, because I got it from Priceline. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very clean, comfortable, and nice. I loved that you could walk from building to building without going outside. If I had to pick my "dream location" it would not be in the middle of a city, but that's just my preference. It has nothing to do with the actual hotel itself.

There were a few things that I didn't really care for. First, we came in a few times to find that our bathroom floor was soaked. Apparently, the people above us kept running over their tub. That's not the hotel's fault though. The second was the outrageous parking fee. It's a little cheaper on the weekends, so watch your bill. They tried to charge us the higher fee the entire week, but once I pointed it out, they were very friendly and immediately removed the extra charges. Last, the housekeeping was really "excited" about getting in and cleaning the rooms. I would suggest putting the "Do Not Disturb" sign on your door until you leave for the day.

I think they are really trying. I get the impression from past reviews that the Radisson was bad for so long and they are trying their best to fix what took a long time to bring down. It's not going to be perfect overnight, but it is on it's way. I really enjoyed staying here.

I stayed there for work and was assigned to a business suite. It was very comfortable with a great view.

I'd stay there again because of the location. Though, beware, everything there is very basic and minimal. Not good for vacationers.

“Perfect for Business Travel”

I booked my stay with a $65 quote on Priceline. I have stayed at many many hotels for business and this place is in the top 5%. The room service and restaurant were very tasty and reasonably priced. The room was completely new and clean with a great comfy bed (with 4 down pillows) and peaceful tasteful decor. I was especially pleased with the granite topped kitchen area (complete with fridge/microwave/coffeemaker) and the flat screen tv. The only slightly annoying things were a lack of a remote in the workout room (but the new elliptical machine made it up) and a slight mix-up with the bill that the staff resolved quickly and efficiently. I especially appreciated the free yoga kit and the alarm radio that had a hookup for my Ipod. They seem to be done with most of the renovations except for the front entrance.

This place is just as nice as many places with 3 1/2 and 4 stars, I would stay there again even for full price!

This hotel had terrible reviews but I had no choice since it was booked through Hotwire. But upon arrival we found the name had been changed to Hilton Garden. Check in was a little slow considering it was 9pm at night and not many people. Our room was on the top floor and everything was brand new. The view was awesome the bed was incredible. Free wi-fi. They are undergoing renovations so sometimes there was noise. The
AC in the room was very loud which was a little annoying but we just turned the TV on low and that drowned it out. We were a little disappointed when we went to order room service at 8pm and was told it had closed at 7pm on a friday night. That was a hassle. Over all for what we paid it was a tremendous bargain. The location is right downtown St. Paul and one could walk to different things. Parking is expensive for in/out privilges but it is conveinent to access. It was 12.50/ day. There were other parking area a block or so away which were cheaper though.
