    This is a lovely hotel, but a bit noisier than expected.

    Noisy location. We are used to train noises as our home is just a few blocks from an Amtrak station, but the nearby rail runs all night. And no drawers for clothes, just a hanging rack with a shelf underneath.

    Comfortable room. Super fast check in. Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of storage in the bathroom. Plush towels.

    I was not a fan of all the pictures of the nuns. I know it was a nunnery at one point in history but didn’t love all the pictures.

    The history of the building. Loved that they kept the original architecture and details of the building. Absolutely gorgeous room and hotel.

    The bed wasn't the most amazing bed. Had a dip in the middle. We slept sideways on it (King size) and it was great!

    Such a cool historical building turned into a hotel. The decor was amazing and authentic. Loved the cute little twists they added to keep the authenticity alive. Plus a great view of the Capitol.

    Only complaint was the squeaky floors in our room, it was an old building so that can be expected.

    It was a very cool location, I was not aware it used to be a nunnery until arrival. It was unique!

    Normal issues in old buildings Ike water pressure and temp in the shower. A clock with no batteries. Minor irritants.

    Perfect location right by the Green Line. Elegant renovation of a convent honors the space with a sweet sense of humor and color. Staff is friendly and efficient, but the bar goes above and beyond! Craft cocktails and interesting conversation in a truly lovely space make this bar a destination to remember. I look forward to returning when the patios are awake.

    The hotel is a former convent and school and was built in 1909. It is an architectural gem. A lot of the original artwork from the school--windows, stained glass, carved woodwork is still in tact. The hoteliers have taken a lot of care honoring the history of the building. Beautifully done. Location is right on the metro rail and within walking distance of a lot of downtown St. Paul.

    Our room location had street view in the basement level, so we couldn’t keep the windows open and let natural light in, as pedestrians could see our room from up close.

    Beautiful, cute building. Nice bathrooms.

    Mini fridge wasnt on when arrived. Loud boiler-system should be checked by expert- it shouldnt be that loud of a burble even with radiator system its louder than should be. Carpet needed better vaccuuming and could use a deepclean. Room hallway and bed area was very small. Would be better as a Queen bedroom with another small seat area. Photo of a nun looking at bed was rather offputting, altho overall I get that it is theme of the place, and the hallway area is fine for it. The room photos showed a velvet/velour blanket in addition to the regular sheets but so such item was in room. There was a bit of *cough cough* "white splatter" above the right bed light that would be easy to overlook by the staff but should be scrubbed off.

    Ambiance of main hallways, lobby, bar area was cool. Bed and pillows were very comfy, bathroom was clean and nice.
