InterContinental Saint Paul Riverfront by IHG
Our river view room was lovely! Staff was ever helpful and I really appreciated the cafe downstairs for a morning coffee and a walk across the bridge. Everything was accessible from where we were in downtown St. Paul. I would love to come back and stay here next time I am in the Twin Cities.
