Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown St. Paul

Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown St. Paul opened in November 2016 at 200 W 7th St. It's a five-storey, 160-room hotel with an indoor pool, across the road from the Xcel Energy Center and a block from the Science Museum of Minnesota. It rates about 4.4 on Google from more than 1,000 reviews. It's a mainstream hotel, not a gay venue. St Paul's one dedicated queer bar, the Black Hart, is on University Ave in the Midway, about 15 minutes west on the Green Line.
