LivINN Hotel St. Paul – I-94 – East 3M Area

I was in a first floor room until I looked out the window & realized there was no lock on the window & it could be opened from the outside. I asked for a different room & they did give me a room on the second floor.

We felt like we snagged a great deal on our room at the LivINN, and though we don't generally have super high expectations of hotels, this one seemed from the outset to be much newer and perhaps a bit nicer than other options around the same budget. (Although we thought the listing photos of the room with the bathtub center of the bedroom a little hilarious!) In person, the communal areas do actually seem pretty modern and updated. The rooms are just okay. Ours was pretty small, and thankfully had the tub in the bathroom, but perfectly serviceable. The bathroom itself was pretty dingy and did not have a fan we could turn on, which caused the entire room to feel VERY humid. The carpet was constantly damp to walk on, the windows stayed foggy, and it had a distinct mildewy smell in the room. There was a bit of what appeared to be mold in the ice bucket (which, for obvious reasons, we did not use). The bed itself was clean, large, and comfortable. The fridge was ample and worked well. The TV sometimes worked but sometimes gave no picture. The phone did not work at all. The shower knob was VERY difficult to turn. Only one bedside lamp worked. Worst of all, the walls are paper-thin. There were people evidently sleeping in their junk-filled SUV just outside our window for several nights, and their conversations would wake us up: we could hear every. single. word. Overall, this is a decent budget hotel but not as fancy or as upkept as the images suggest. Don't expect luxury!

Clean

Staff was so friendly and helpful!!

Room was clean, quiet and functional. Great for the price. Way too much religious propaganda.

Good

I was disappointed that there wasn’t a fan option on the a/c. The room felt musty like there wasn’t much ventilation and we couldn’t keep the window open because the traffic on the street was quite noisy with it open. The noise wasn’t bad though with the window shut. The bed was super comfy, overall clean, good breakfast, nice staff, and decent price. They have an area stocked with snacks, medicines and pizzas that they can cook for you after purchase. That was really cool.

Easy check in, clean, friendly staff, great breakfast. Highly recommend!

Quiet and respectful, thank you so much!

Beautiful hotel
