We were part of a group (family) heading to Saint Paul for a graduation and since Bandana Square was close to our niece and nephew's house, we stayed here. I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but have to say that this place definitely grew on me! #1, the staff were awesome! Rachel and Riki at... More

We arrrived at the hotel on a Thursday evening. Hotel was very clean and neat looking as it was an old railway station. Check in time took a long time and staff really need to smile and look like they enjoy their job, because they both didn't seem to like it. Our room was a king size room that had... More

Traveled to St. Paul for my granddaughters concert at Hamline University. This hotel is very close. The hotel is clean and interesting as it is a former railroad depot. They are located near the fairgrounds and excellent shopping. The breakfast is good and it is very quiet. But the bed had a big scoop in the middle and I was... More

Nice stay. Really liked the building. Room was clean, shower head good. Room a little on small side. TV was old but worked fine. Popcorn in lobby was a treat. Good breakfast. Service was great. Computer with printer available. Did not use the pool or hit tub but looked good with nice seating area.

First the building. It is a converted train repair station and has the original beams and train track running through with a cute train station in the lobby that serves as the breakfast area. Very fun for the kids. It is close to the Model train museum which is great for kids and has an indoor pool. There is a... More

I've been coming to this hotel ever since the 90's when it was a Holiday Inn Express. It has the most comfortable beds, and the service is always great. Everything is clean, and the continental breakfast is awesome. I absolutely love the fact that it is located inside of an old train repair shop. The tracks running through the building... More

We had no trouble getting a room. And while there was some type of school tournament in the area, it was not noisy. There are very few hotels in the area And we tried the other one but it was terrible-dirty and noisy and not safe. The Bandana is easy to get to, safe and reasonable in cost.

We were very impressed with this hotel. Everything from EXCELLENT customer service, a good breakfast selection and the interesting history of the building made it a great stay for our families. Pool area was kept clean and the rooms were spacious and clean as well. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice, affordable place!!
