A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I stay here at least once a year for work and sometimes more when I'm visiting the Twin Cities. It's a cool hotel in the historic post office/custom house. The historic setting makes it feel a little different from the average Hyatt Place in a good way. Though the room decor is similar to other Hyatt Places, the ceilings are much higher than you'd expect for the brand, and the hallways are much bigger and airier as well. The staff has always been good during my stays. As far as location, the hotel is very conveniently located for Amtrak passengers. If you have an event at the RiverCentre, it can feel like a bit of a haul getting up the hill from the hotel if you're carrying a lot of stuff, but it's still a pleasant walk overall. Over the years, the parking has changed back and forth between self parking and valet parking. Right now it's valet parking. I prefer the self parking because the front of the hotel doesn't have an especially large loading area, and when I've had a shorter valet retrieve my vehicle, the driver seat has been adjusted so far up that I have to readjust it before I can get in the vehicle, putting me and the door in the rightmost travel lane on Kellogg Boulevard. I nearly got hit by traffic because of this once, so I'll always prefer a self park option. Still, that one negative experience doesn't affect my overall rating/enjoyment of this hotel.”
“The staff is phenomenal at the Hyatt downturn St. Paul. I had questions by phone and the customer service was impeccable. Once I arrived, checkin was fast and smooth, and the front desk worker was great. The rooms are clean and the vaulted ceilings are a plus. The valet are great as well. We will be back!”
“The hotel location was easy to find. Near the Mississippi river, perfect for morning or afternoon walk. The reception was spot clean, spacious and well maintained. The room was very comfortable, clean, organized, spacious, very high ceiling. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone that can afford with a budget of 150 USD/night.”
“Place was great. Room was super spacious. Easy spot to get around town. My only bad experience was when checking in,I was greeted with.. Id please.... Not hello. Not welcome or even hi. The person at the front desk at night was not friendly. Never at any hotel I've ever stayed in have I checked in and not been greeted. Even at a budget motel they will greet the guests. The front desk help in the morning was very nice.”
“Clean and spacious room. Looks recently remodeled. Excellent free breakfast. Conveniently located next to union station. Negative for me was the bed as it was too firm. Pro tips: Valet parking only. Costs close to 40 bucks a night. We parked in the parking garage across the street for $16. There are other options for parking. Front door is located on Kellogg. It's the only entrance. You will need to get buzzed in if you haven't checked in yet. Overall pleasant experience.”
