Downtown St. Paul golf resorts

The Celeste is a treasure — full of interesting curios and antiques. Excellent breakfast in a converted chapel with 20’ ceilings and huge stained glass windows.

Staff very nice

Good tournament experience

We were in town for a cheer competition and had never been to the city before. I will go with the not amazing parts first - if you want to park AT the hotel, it is valet only and an additional $32 per night. There is a parking garage across the street - we were there in winter, and my teen daughter brought the house with us - so walking back and forth, in the snow was a hard no. The GPS took us to where the apartment residents pull in to park - NOT where you go as a hotel guest for valet. We had to go around the block a few times until I finally figured out WHERE the valet was for the hotel - it is NOT well marked; even the hotel itself - there's only a small sign by the doors. When you are trying to navigate traffic, in the snow, thru one way streets and multiple stop lights, in a place you've never been - it was awful. Once I was finally inside to go check in, the woman at the front desk was NOT friendly.. at all. Maybe she was just having a bad day but, it was not a good first impression of the hotel. That all being said.. when we finally got to our room, WOW! The room more than made up for our rough start. It was HUGE! And SO nice. The height of the windows and ceiling, the layout, the bathroom, all was GREAT! Breakfast at the hotel was good. The lobby/breakfast area/seating area was clean and inviting.. in between competitions we hung out and chatted down there. Overall it ended up being a good stay in one of the nicest rooms I've been in!

If you are doing something at Excell energy center, there is the place to stay! Right across the street and very convenient.
