Top Core Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Suites Minneapolis St Paul Arpt-Mall of America

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean room. Wonderful staff"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Minneapolis Northeast

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean and modern. The room was quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. They mailed a letter for us. The staff at the Starbucks were also very helpful. The bathroom was a little small, but it was clean and comfortable. The restaurant served really good food. They catered to the tiny baby with our party. We also enjoyed the pool. It was really nice stay."

The Saint Paul Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean but the carpets had large dark stains and the bedding was fairly tattered. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I was expecting a beautiful garden and entrance from the description on your website- it was nice but not kept and all the plants were overgrown. A lot of trash. Could’ve been from the adjacent construction zone too. Best place to stay in downtown St. Paul."
