Drury Plaza Hotel St. Paul Downtown
Highly recommended this hotel. It was clean, staff were friendly/accomodating, and lots of options for snacks and food. I liked that they had parking available, rather than having to find a parking garage or lot off the property. Would definitely stay here again while visiting St. Paul!
