While this hotel is far from many of the twin cities' interstate highways, this turn-of-the century train maintenance facility that was transformed into a hotel is comfortable, affordable, and unique. This was my family's second stay and while visiting the twin cities it has become their favorite hotel because it has 1) affordable rates, 2) rooms in good condition/cleanliness, 3)... More

Pros: Nice property, breakfast and eating area as well as our room. Efficient desk staff. Cons: 1 - Why is it with many properties, housekeepers don'e get it on towels, etc.? The minimum assumption is two will be in the room and then provide one hand towel, but two of the rest. Since the housekeeper in the hall couldn't speak... More

This former railroad depot lends itself to a unique setting for a hotel with railroad tracks running through the main lobby. Our room was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The pool area was a great place to gather with extended family. The hotel is close to many local shops, restaurants, and main thoroughfares. Everything about Bandana Square helped make our... More

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.
