Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown

Holiday Inn St. Paul Downtown is an eight-floor, 195-room hotel at 175 W 7th St, directly across from RiverCentre and the Xcel Energy Center, which makes it the obvious pick for a Wild game, a concert or a convention. It rates about 4.3 on Google from more than 1,100 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.
