Wows and Woes
Friendly staff and clean guest rooms greet weary travelers as they arrive at this hotel. The hotel also offers complementary printing and copying services. However, the hotel bathrooms are quite small and the guest room walls are thin, which can let quite a bit of noise into guest rooms. Moreover, the breakfast is over-priced.
Insider Tips
The great American grill in the hotel serves great food and even gives a great option to build your own salad by choosing between different lettuces, cheeses, vegetables and meats.
Author's Most Memorable Moment
My nephews were very hungry when we got back to the hotel from enjoying nature along a jogging trail near the hotel, and I was very pleased to have the opportunity to order a "Cookie Monster Break" for them through the hotel. It was so nice to be able to relax in the room and enjoy our snack of brownies and fresh-baked cookies and milk.
Bottom Line
If you want a nice hotel close to numerous St. Paul/Minneapolis attractions with a fantastic business services, then the Hilton Garden Hotel is perfect.
