We have stayed at this hotel numerous times. The price is higher than we normally pay, but the location is convenient for going to concerts at the XCEL Center. The hotel is an older building, but the rooms have always been clean. The free shuttle is nice, as well within walking distance after the concerts. The staff has always been... more

We stayed at this inn 3 nights while visiting my daughter who lives a mile from there. We have stayed at places in the University area while she was in school and this was one of the nicest places we stayed. Everything was clean. We had no noise problems as someone else talked about. It was the beginning of the... more

Good bits, nice price, clean, staff was good. We had a good experience with the desk staff, and our room was nice (if nothing fancy) and clean. Bad bits, I bit hard to get to and nosy. We were in our first room about 5 min before we came back down and asked to be moved. Who ever was near... more

Stayed here for the Fleetwood Mac concert. I always stay here when in town for a concert or hockey game. Free and friendly shuttle service to the Xcel Center which works on tips so have a few bucks for the driver. Sometimes however it would be nice if they could put on two shuttles when it's really cold or rainy... more

The hotel is dated, but the price is right. If you are on a budget and just passing through while driving, this is a good pick. Room was clean and the restaurant/bar downstairs provided basic edible food at great prices. more

First I will say the good things then the problems; Good: Shuttle to concerts at the Excel Center, free parking, quick check in and clean rooms. The a/c failed to work the entire time we were there and there was no rooms to move us to that were any better. The night manager was not to helpful and gave us... more

We are very sorry that the air conditioning system was not working properly when this guest stayed with us. Since then the problem has been resolved and the unit is working. We offer no excuses for moving this guest to another room which was occupied by other guests. This is unacceptable. A work order was issued for the cable television...

Upon arrival of the Kelly Inn, parking was not designated & also the entrance to the hotel is off of a side alley making location and getting to a hassle. Upon entering the Kelly Inn, the lobby was very messy. There were wrappers, paper etc. on the floors/furniture. My party & I waited over 15 minutes for a staff member... more

Thank your for reviewing our hotel. It is from thoughtful comments like yours and many others that we are able to make the hotel better for all future guests. It sounds like from your description and comments that you stayed during the week of the State Wrestling Tournament. With this event comes a high traffic level through the lobby at...

This was a great place to stay for the concert at the Xcel. They had a free shuttle to and from the concert. The room was clean, the shower pressure nice, the beds comfortable. The restaurant/bar was good. Liked the idea of free parking compared to downtown! Don't hesitate to book this place if you're staying the St. Paul area. more

We stayed at the Kelly Inn for the Rascal Flatts Concert on the 27, and found it to be very clean. I didnt even feel the urge to put on my flip flops while I walked around the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The water pressure of the shower head was not that great, and there was... more

You can't stay for less than $100. in St.Paul. Though this room was $99, the free parking, in a town where there is NO free parking, should have been a tip-off. So should the lack of cars. So should the teenagers roaming the halls and lobbies, who obviously felt at home there. So should the desk clerk who was too... more
