THE BEST!!! Kathy in the restaurant made me a “believer” that kindness, professionalism and FANTASTIC service trumps everything else I travel to St Paul for business and last month when I was here I decided to checkout the restaurant

I was so impressed with the friendly staff on tge restaurant- Kathy that I decided going forward I would only stay at the Double Tree and eat at the restaurantIf you want excellent food, wonderful service, and to have a true dining experience please check out Axel’s restaurant Also the rooms are amazing!Thank you Axel and Double Tree Hotel… keep up the great job!! 👍

WE HAD A MOUSE in our room! shortly after we arrived as we were getting ready a mouse ran across the room and then ended up going into a hole under the A/C We called the front desk and they sent a gal up with a decorative basket (two giant holes on the side) to catch it They would not upgrade us and almost didn’t give us a new room (They said they didn’t have any clean rooms)

We were late to getting to our event because we had to figure out a solution with the front desk The gentleman that was at the front desk when we finally left for our event had stated that he would move our belongings to a different room once it was clean, did not We arrived back to our hotel about 330am to find out that our things had not been moved and that we didn’t even have a room ready for us to switch too The only saving grace for our stay was that the two gentleman that were at the desk when we came back at 330am were not only apologetic but kind, understanding of our frustrations, fun/funny, and very helpful!

The first issue was that our toilet overflowed with some kind of soap around 7pm Okay, not a huge deal since we called the front desk and they sent someone to clean it up He was very pleasant

The second and more serious issue was that all night there were people running through the halls screaming 12am, 3am, 5am I imagine they finally went to sleep around 7am when we had to check out We got a babysitter overnight to celebrate my significant other’s graduation from nursing school and got zero sleep I told the front desk about the problem in the morning and they responded with an anecdote about how they once worked in a hotel in Virginia where there was a lingerie party and those individuals were loud? I wish I were kidding, but I am not Extremely uncomfortable interaction and did not help resolve my issue at allI will not be back nor would I recommend this hotel

Hotel room is huge! Nice warm pool and huge hot tub! Adults only in pool from 10pm-12am! I’ve never heard of a pool being open so late! There is a secret passage way to a bar/restaurant off the second floor There are arcade games, pool, darts, ax throwing (to come), and a bowling alley! Couldn’t ask for much more to keep the teens entertained

chelsey carroll

We stayed there last Saturday for my daughters birthday When we arrived we were told the water slide was out of order ( one of the reasons we decided to stay there) Then we tried to go bowling and there was bowling tournaments going on all day

So we decided to go to the arcade and eat dinner No food available and only a few games worked I booked this stay in advance and was never sent an email or anything stating these issues It was really fun having to disappoint a group of kids that were looking forward to the things that the hotel was said to offer Please update your website to show accurate accommodations

Krystal Tranby

We really enjoyed our stay while here for Back to the Fifties The reason I give 2 stars for service has nothing to do with the staff All staff was friendly but they no longer clean the rooms which is apparently because of COVID but this means you have to go to the front desk for garbage bags, clean towels etc

Also the waterslide was out of order while we were there but they do have that stated clearly on the website The attached restaurant had good food but was dealing with staffing issues Several members of our party enjoyed the bowling alley one evening It was reasonably priced and they could bowl all they wanted until 10:00PM We will try them again for Btt50s next year and I will update my review at that time!

It’s in a nice area and only an 8 minute drive from a family members house We have stayed twice for medical appointments for our kids The pool is super cold

The rooms are definitely in need of some TLC They are currently remodeling so I’m sure it will get better The first time we stayed the room was very clean but the second time the room was visibly not cleaned in a few spots and the duvet cover and was stained The breakfast was decent both times We stayed with all 4 of our young children and it’s nice to have options for breakfast that each of them likeWe would consider staying again after the remodel but will be finding another hotel in the meantime

Currently under renovation, but you wouldn’t know before 7:30 any morningStaff was super helpfulProperty inside & out both are very well keptRoom is great, plenty of space, including a desk, seating area, coat hooks as well

The shower & bath are goodRoom has plenty of charging locations, and plenty of lightingThe blackout shade does the job perfectlyI’ve worked in the area many times, but this is my 1st stay wish I’d known before now about this gem!

Abrina Tarasenko

To the ones who rely so heavily on reviews before making a decision: As an avid user of Holiday Inn I was somewhat skeptical when reading the reviews of this hotel on google but decided to bet on this location knowing it was a corporate owned location While I have allotted for grace of the construction being completed in this review I feel like there are several areas as room for improvement to take this from a 25-3 star hotel and bring it to the high 4 if not 5

The first this was the cleanliness in ALL common areas of hotel the hallways, breakfast areas were never cleaned during our 4 day stay This is something so easily fixed yet no one took the time to do it At one point there was dried blood on the floor in the breakfast area which again to my horror was not cleaned during our stay The next area is the elevator- the way the elevator functioned was unacceptable with catching- it was almost scarier to take the elevator vs the stairs The cleanliness of elevator was nothing short of terrible sticky mess, handprints, visible dirt debris all days of the stay Again I know there was construction but there’s no reason that staff can not clean and mop the elevator at MINIMUM once a day The next was the noise level With the guests that were there during out stay the noise level and “rowdiness” gauge was off the charts It seemed like the staff either made no attempt to stop it or just didn’t care to Either way nighttime was dreaded especially since I was traveling with 2 little kids The other final area of improvement I would suggest is keeping a much closer eye of the freshness of the food During our stay on 7/7 we got some milk with a 7/8 expiration date Upon opening it we quickly realized it was sour and threw it away Yet on 7/8 when we came back downstairs much to my surprise all the milk with the 7/8 expiration date on it was still out When bringing it to staff attention staff notified me that they technically have 5 days AFTER the expiration date to keep it out for consumption YIKES Never have I heard of that and if that truly is the policy it is only opening the door for a food poisoning lawsuit at fault of the hotelWhen it comes to the question of would I stay here again the answer would have to be probably not There’s other options right across the street that I’d be willing to explore before coming backPros:LocationCons:Room Cleanliness, Facilities, Atmosphere

The lobby is nice, everything is clean Bed was comfy Maintenance was good

Hot breakfast and pool good I gave it three stars because the bathroom was so small you can’t even close the door while you’re sitting on the toilet The depth of the bathroom is the width of the tub Should be just a shower if that’s all the space they had Also explains why their website shows no bathroom pics None If you don’t mind that, you will like the room

Noah Lemke

Hotel is nice and pool is nice and breakfast is awesome here, This hotel only got 2 stars because of the pool and breakfast! But stayed here back in Jan for the ice castles and the front desk group are unbearable and rude, simply asking about a room rate that was promised to my girlfriend was too much Than her family stays here because they had a fire at there house and just because they asked for towels and the room to be cleaned they get kicked out! I understand the whole Covid thing but seriously that has been over for a while now and it doesn’t give you the right to be rude and threaten to call the cops! I won’t stay here again nor will anyone I know plus my girlfriends family will probably tell everyone not to stay here til a change is made at the desk When will hotels go back to being corporate ran? Cause that’s the only way it needs to be this independent owners don’t care about the people staying at there hotels nor do they care about the service there team is providing!

Shannon McCloskey

We happily got married and when we got to the hotel it wasn’t until 10ish pm at night on our Wedding day When we walked in there were pop can stains on the counters, sticky stains, trash from other people before us underthe couch, and worse of all there was a nasty stain on the top blanket Other than the lack of cleanliness the friendliness of country inn is wonderful and warming

We were so tired and kept going in and out of the room between our house, celebrating, and then back to the hotel so we weren’t in the room all too long I would’ve said something the first night or the next morning when we first came but I was just so worn out from the wedding I didn’t wish to complain Otherwise it was a decent room I just wish it wasn’t so dirty because out of all moments I wish it didn’t happen to us on our special night

WARNING- Food safety procedures at the breakfast bar are not safeOverall the hotel was fine Rooms were clean

Ate breakfast from the hot table on the breakfast bar and within 2 hours I was HORRIBLY sick Manager insisted that nobody else had complained Talked to someone else who had stayed at the hotel and eaten the same thing but left town that day and they had also gotten sick when they got home Of course the manager isn’t going to tell you that others complained when someone gets sick on their watchThe price is fine and for the most part the hotel is clean I wouldn’t roll the dice with the hot breakfast anymore

Rachel Bounds

We stay here often They are reasonably priced Rooms are always clean and comfortable

Staff is friendly I just got stranded on a flight in another state They refunded my money 100% two days after I was suppose to have stayed with them, even though I had not canceled in advance This Quality Inn and Suites will continue to get my business!

Hotel is very clean and updated, staff is friendly and accommodating, they allowed a very late check in, easy to find, super close to northwestern university & they offer a college rate Eggs were about the only diabetic friendly breakfast option but that’s pretty typical, great for a family stay as well as individuals I loved that they have a mini fridge and microwave in the room as well as the pool & gym!! Beds were ok! No real complaints from us!! You won’t be disappointed!!

1) It was a delight to stay (as a frequent business traveler) at a 2* hotel, that acted like a 5* hotel!2) Staff (that I met) actually seemed to enjoy their jobs! And it is great to find people that actually take pride in their work (unfortunately, hard to find, nowadays)!3) Mary (the weekday breakfast hostess), kept immaculate serving & eating areas!!!!4) Hot brk was basic, but complete & satisfying5) Entire facility was excellently cleaned & maintained6) I had a large vehicle to park during my multi-day stay, & staff was super helpful in accomodating my needs

Hotel seems to be priced slightly higher than close-by “equals”, but if you enjoy quality, don’t hesitate to make this your choice!

So after I put our three young children to bed and they were all sleeping

I went to take a shower There were hairballs Everywhere It was absolutely revolting/repulsive and made my skin crawl I wanted to go check the beds my children were sleeping in but didn’t want to wake anyone So as a result, I slept fitfully worried about what other unclean conditions we slept in Management refused to do anything about it the next morning when I reported it and showed them pictures (which I am trying to post on here but they won’t go onto the live review)Anyway – Absolutely disgusting Will not return

Our stay was amazing from check in to check out! When checking in we were made aware of large group of hockey kids staying It did not bother us one bit but was nice they let us know The room was beautiful and clean! The shower was hot and had great water pressure! The staff and chef were AWSOME

Friendly and helpful! My omelet was delicious! We will definitely stay here again when visiting the kids! Thank you so much for a great stay!!!

Vonice LarsenBailey

Three stars because the front desk staff is phenomenal and work hard to do the very best to make guests feel welcome Avoid the place like the plague if there is a hockey tournament going on, the running up and down the hallways and noise was ridiculous The breakfast is an overpriced poor quality “meal” you would be better off stopping at the Holiday gas station and getting some snacks

Zak RL

Don’t stay here unless you have no other options Walls are paper thin, you can hear EVERYTHING in the room next to you All the doors slamming at 1am was ridiculous

Our room was clean and somewhat modern but all the doors stick and you really have to yank them hard to shut them Beds were comfortable but the pillows were super flatThis place also offers ‘breakfast’ but that’s a complete joke They charge $14 for a “hot breakfast” or $10 for anything else They would literally look at you with a straight face and ask you for $10 for a bowl of cheerios What?!? Just go to the holiday gas station across the street for a cheaper and better breakfast

We decided to spend our anniversary here as this is where we spent our honeymoon 5 years ago and still love it! The staff are very nice, it’s always clean, pool is nice and is 3-5 feet so not very deep but enough to swim laps or just lounge in The price seems reasonable to us, as we paid $163 for our suite for the night It’s nice to have the roof top restaurant attached!We always get the suites with the hot tub that has a fire place, king bed, stand up shower, and lots of towels

We would highly recommend them and will be going back again

MIsty Alford

We have stayed at this hotel on several occasions The times before were good This time the hotel was wild and quite the party atmosphere

It was so loud outside our rooms until after midnight Definitely do not stay on the ground floor if you are wanting to sleep at any point The other room we had on the second floor wasn’t much better We understand people having a good time but this was outrageous When management was asked about it, he politely replied there wasn’t anything that could be done and the bar stayed open until 2AM This will be our last stay at this facility

Shayne E

We were in town for some concrete pump training and stayed at this facility Nicest Best Western I have ever stayed The owner would personally greet us at dinner to make sure we were enjoying our stay

The restaurant bar inside the hotel was lively and had incredible food Try the prime rib it was delicious! We had a large group and our server, who I believe was Eddie, was very attentive and kept the drinks flowing This is why I can’t remember his name for sure! Great stay

I am not sure what all the other bad ratings are about, We loved our stay! We checked into this hotel without a reservation, because another hotel in the area that we had checked into earlier in the day was absolutely horrendous and we just couldn’t stay there From the first moment of stepping into the lobby, it looks great It’s a new hotel, and you can tell

The checkin was easy, our room was clean and comfortable! The bathroom was clean and had a beautiful sink and shower, and it had great lighting to put makeup on The carpet in the room was clean Carpet in hotels are always so gross to me, but this was the first hotel I felt like I could walk around the room barefootThe coffee and continental breakfast in the morning was a perfect end to our stayI would recommend this hotel!

Walter Schroder

This is a newer property and it wasn’t bad I think my biggest disappointment was the quality of the workmanship in the room The shower handle wasn’t properly mounted in the bathroom, the trim work and wallpaper work was a bit shoddy

I used one of my suite night upgrades and the room that I got really wasn’t much of an upgrade There was a small chair in the corner There was no sofa or coffee table and really wasn’t any place to just sit and relax in the room The hotel staff said that there was a hot buffet for breakfast in the morning which is rather misleading It was nothing more than microwave breakfast sandwiches and eggs

Nice hotel That staff was friendly and welcoming Bartender for the evening reception is great

Guy that made my omelette in the morning was wonderful Make sure you tip those people when you’re staying here My only complaint is it’s starting to show it’s age Needs a little TLC and updating in the rooms Room was pretty clean, could have been better though If I’m in the area for the right price I would stay here again

They charged my account $75 for a registered service animal that has documentation They violated the ADA, American disability Act They say they don’t see the difference between a pet and a service animal

I reported them to Hilton and will report them with the Agency They can’t make there own rules as they go along They claim they charge the fee for cleaning Just to give you some insight, the room they initially gave us was smelly and disgusting The second room where we ended up staying was dirty, we ended up doing a thorough clean and disinfect Shower was grotesque, both phones did not work, only 1 remote for 2 tvs in different areas We stayed 6 full days and housekeeping NEVER cleaned our room It’s funny to me that they want to charge a fee when we dealt with all these things, truly ridiculous They must be really hard up for money if they are discriminating against people with disabilities and disregarding the law

I was really disappointed in this location Front desk customer service was just not there No smiles

First night, the woman behind the counter was on her phone and didn’t acknowledge me when I was looking for the convenience shop When I showed up another day, a different woman was on a smoke break out front and I had to wait We checked out early because of all the box elder bugs in our room The room was not in great shape either There was a lot of wear and tear Terrible experience for the price

We had a very clean and comfortable room The beds were soft with lots of pillows in varying firmness The room was nicely decorated and everything was in clean working condition

My only complaint about the room is that the bathroom is very small The breakfast staff were very attentive The front desk staff, especially Jacob, was very friendly and accommodating I used to stay with a Choice Hotel in the area but I will be switching to this hotel for future stays

Hotel has nice, updated rooms and bathrooms Bed is really comfortable and soft with adequate blankets Staff is always very friendly and makes sure your stay is going smoothly

I was greeted every time I walked into the building The reason for one less star is because our heater didn’t seem to work properly While on auto it would either run constantly or never come on Also, the drain plug in the bathtub seemed to randomly close and fill the tub with water while showering Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and I would stay again

Booked through Expedia Representative I spoke to in the hotel said it didn’t go through so she said I had to swipe my card Payed with my card and realized the next day I was charged twice

Had to wait 2 days for a manager to be in the business because regular front desk people couldn’t help me with my refund They say the refund has been processed but I still haven’t gotten my money back Had I not noticed this extra charge I would just be out that extra money Hotel takes no responsibility and is putting all the blame on Expedia Have now talked to 4 different representatives trying to resolve this Overall a really poor experience Save yourself the headache and book your hotel somewhere else
