“My husband and I recently spent four nights at the St Paul Hotel while attending the Minnesota Yacht Club music festival. The location was the initial draw as it was walking distance to the venue. We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many nice hotels and we both agreed that this was one of our favorites! The building itself is beautiful and our room was immaculate. Some of the best room service and house keeping we’ve experienced. The St Paul Grill is the onsite restaurant and the food and service was superb! A bit pricey but well worth it. There is also a lobby bar which has coffee and pastries in the mornings or you can have breakfast at the Drake which was also amazing. It’s rare that we leave a place with no complaints but it happened during this stay! Book a stay at the St Paul. You will not be disappointed!”
“When I was wondering around The Machine Shop, there was a soft glowing reflective goo near the back sort of by the bathrooms. It was making a sort of humming noise and I couldn’t help but feel drawn to it. The closer I got I realized it was a portal and I have always wanted to see one in real life. I went through it and ended up on this new planet, there was nothing but snow and ice. Luckily the portal went two ways other wise we would have been stuck forever. Keep an eye out for it, I guess people say it’s not open often and when it is open it’s not open very long at all.”
“Definitely a fun first-time experience for these of us new to VR! We came here for a work party and I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was fun! We had some of the flatbread pizzas which were delicious. Many NA and alcoholic drink options. Tons of different VR games to choose from and they gave us a good demo on how to use them at the beginning but you pick it up pretty quick once you start using them. It’s a cool concept to have the little pods. We had 3 groups and although we had different pods, we were still able to sit by each other and could bounce around to all of the pods.”
“Very nice stadium. Love the staff but dang Minnesota fans are babies. Want to talk trash but can't handle the trash talking back. Love seeing fans literally crying when they found out we started only 2nd and 3rd string players and Minnesota couldn't stop Houston or even get down the field and score until Houston put in the 4th stringers that won't make the team. Lol, Minnesota won't see a championship for a very long time.”
“Where do we begin...FIVE Event Center is the perfect place for your BIG day. Not only is the venue gorgeous and reasonable for cost, but your day of coordinators are the best! Victoria, Robyn, and other FIVE Event staff members make dreams come true! They are so attentive and really are there for you. We feel like we have made life long friends with their staff.
Be sure to check out their preferred vendors. Everyone we worked with from this list was WONDERFUL! We decided on Green Mill Catering, HoneyBlue Media, and Unparalleled Valet Parking. They were all so easy to work with and are familiar with the venue.”

“My husband and I were married at the Warehouse Winery in October 2024. Everything was perfect from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Victoria and the catering team from Green Mill were top notch and very attentive. The ONLY thing I had to worry about was having fun...and we did. I can't stop talking about the venue and recommending it to friends and family.”

Always a total riot! Tell your friends!”
“From the moment that Captain Dan first called (minutes after I sent an email inquiring for more information) through our event in July, I was completely satisfied and incredibly impressed by the personal customer service, prompt responses for information, quality, and value. Our guests were amazed and we were delighted. I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Dan and his crew (they were all fantastic!) on the lovely Magnolia Blossom.”

“I really liked Emery. Spy house cafe located in the same area. If you're looking to dress up for a nice evening gathering, good food and cocktails this is a great go-to or even just for coffee. Loved the architectural design.
Parking might be a bit tricky since it's located right in the heart of Minneapolis.”
“It's very clean, however on the lower levels (below the Jamba juice, on the floor with the Starbucks and bookstore) there could be a better directory, especially regarding where exits are and where they lead. I know this is also not particularly the building/campuses fault, but everything closes exceptionally early. More often than not, after my classes that end at 3-4, everything including food and supplies store are completely closed or out of everything. Other than that, it is very nice and there is plenty of seating”
“We held our wedding reception at North Garden in October of 2023. Ryan and Tina could not have been more gracious and helpful in executing our perfect day. We had an unexpected issue with one of our vendors as the reception began; Ryan, Tina and their staff jumped right in to help us problem solve a solution, which we could not have been more grateful for. The space is a perfect size for all types of events, and Ryan's prior stage management experience is invaluable in helping to create the perfect internal atmosphere for whatever the space is being used for. We cannot recommend North Garden Theatre enough, and wish we could give more than a 5 star rating!”

“Staying here was my favorite thing about my visit to St Paul. It was so comfortable, relaxing, and interesting in the best way! Harriet island is very nice to walk around. On the Inn you'll also experience excellent views. I watched the sunset from the upper deck. Lot's of peaceful entertainment watching the birds. Not far from downtown but really feels like an escape. Has every modern amenity, despite being a boat! Came to St Paul for a conference at the intercontinental and stayed here on my last night, I wish I had stayed here the whole time! It is a very short walk. The owner is very kind and accommodating. I'm vegan and she made me a delicious breakfast. Staying at the Covington is really a must-do! I hope I have an excuse to come back and cannot recommend it highly enough!
Rooms: So cute and comfy! I was in the mates quarters. I wish I stayed more than one night. It was perfect
Nearby activities: Explore the island!
Safety: Felt very safe
Walkability: Not far from downtown! I walked to and from there.
Food and drinks: The host prepared a lovely breakfast accommodating my vegan! There's also a fridge in the room, and a kitchen area in the lobby. I enjoyed having the kettle for tea. I got takeout for lunch from babani's nearby (delicious!)”
“This place has such a welcoming environment! And do NOT get me started on the employees. There's so many good things I could've talked about, but tonight's service by Katie was more than excellent enough to write about immediately after.
I heard about this place from a friend and wanted to test out my new Hammer Special Effect. I was privileged enough to be tended to by Katie, who showed so much hospitality and help that I'll come back again next week. She was always there to help us with any problem (there were barely any though!) and made my time here great.”
“Absolutely amazing venue. They have many beautiful options for both the ceremony and reception. Their teams works close with you through the whole process. Stacey was amazing in communication with me. She was quick to respond to any emails I had. Would definitely recommend this venue to others and if I ever have another big event, would definitely book with them again.”
“First thing you notice is the smell, they definitely do some serious bbq here! they have a decent size bar, with exceptionally kind staff, I got the 3 meat with th 2 sides, chicken was decent, brisket was good but those ribs is where they shined! Mac and cheese was hot and definitely wasnt no velveeta, corn bread was lathered in butter and too hot to eat, fantastic meal with even more fantastic people.”
“A beautiful space for weddings and other events. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was a lot of miscommunication from the day-of-event coordinator with the bride that left her stressed.”
“Great food, great service, nicely priced. Nice local watering hole. Our only wish is that they had brunch Monday-Friday because we love the Saturday & Sunday brunch :)”
“The place is clean and the staff are very friendly. For a bowling alley and arcade, it wasn't insanely loud and you could still have a conversation. The food was awful.”

“This little hotel was just what we needed after a long day on the road. Our room was clean and bright. After we settled in, I received an email asking if everything in the room was okay.
The hotel is located just down the street from a great shopping area with nice restaurants (Chi Chi's!) and lots of free parking. The free breakfast, starting at 6:00 AM, was good.
Staff members were friendly and helpful.”
“Victoria and 413 on Wacouta are absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I could not be more thrilled with choosing this venue for our special day. First of all, the ceremony and reception happened in the same place so we didn't have to worry about transferring anywhere - huge plus! Secondly, we are huge fans of St. Paul and being able to have roof access to take photos with the St. Paul skyline was so perfect. Everything went smoothly and Victoria was a huge help on our day making sure everyone was where they needed to be. She was a great go-to person. The venue is absolutely beautiful - very good St. Paul vibes! We will always recommend this venue and Victoria to anyone!”
“We had our wedding reception here (ceremony offsite). We were able to get ready at the College Club with our wedding parties, take photos there, and then come back after our ceremony for the reception. It was a great space for couple, family, and wedding party photos!
The planning experience felt a little disorganized at times, and sometimes it felt like we needed to communicate things multiple times leading up to the day, but things really came together in the end.
However, our day-of coordinator (Keelia) did an incredible job helping our day run smoothly! She had an infectious positive attitude even when we were stressed by a dress bustling issue that kept pushing back the timeline.
This is a beautiful space for a reasonable price!”
“My wife and I just had our wedding reception here and Perfect is the only word that kept coming to mind when I started trying to sum up my experience. However everything was too good to accurately describe with the word perfect. Setting up our event was totally stress free. The staff was so professional and helpful and kind. I could keep going but I want to get to the food before you get bored and stop reading. It was roll your eyes back into your head delicious. And we kept our menu simple. Every expectation I had was exceeded by orders of magnitude and I had high expectations. Do your event here. You will not regret it.”
“This is such a fun store with an amazing selection. I only went in to buy a Jalapeno infused olive oil for a gift and walked out with more than 5 different olive oils and balsalmics. The employee was extremely helpful in talking through what I might be using the different oils for, as well as suggesting some very fun recipe ideas to try with them.”
“One of my favorite parks in the area. There's a beautiful bridge that walks out onto an Island tha has 2 small peninsulas. There's a few short walking trails and some art installations along the way. There is also a small beach at the neighboring park. Not sure if the water would be great to swim in though.”
