Oakdale Hotels

You can see they put thought and effort into the decor. The beds were very comfortable.. The staff was very helpful and it was obvious they care about what they do. We especially appreciated help from Lori at the front desk. She got us information about an event in Milwaukee and then found a detailed map of that area, showing one-way roads. She was even able to tell us how much parking was going to cost. The hotel is a great value. We would definitely stay there again.

Services

Nice rooms and amenities.

Hotel was nice, but check-in is posted as 3pm and our room wasn't ready until 3:30pm and our itinerary said we had an adjustable bed, which we did not have.

Small, but nice pool and hot tub. Fitness center is roomy with many machines. Love the Keurig coffee/tea in the room and bed and pillows were comfortable!

It was great being located right off of I94. The pool is one of the better ones I've seen at a hotel with its 9 ft area. Hot tub not so much.

Breakfast area was a zoo. It was too crowded and too noisy. Not enough seating. The set up of it made it difficult to get to the variety of food as people were in line to make waffles and standing in front to the other food options. There were a lot of kids here this weekend and they were running up and down the hallways from 9:00-10:00pm. The bed felt lumpy. Overall, it was an ok experience, but I don't think it was worth the amount we paid for 2 nights.

The staff were very helpful, friendly, and prompt. The room was clean for hotel standards, the bathroom was clean and tidy, the sheets too. Breakfast was standard fare (eggs, make your own waffles, sausage, cereal, etc.) and tasted good. We felt very safe the whole stay, even in the parking lot after dark.

It did seem a bit pricey at $120 for one night, but that's probably just due to it being located in St. Paul. Other than that nothing bad to report.

Room was very small.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was comfortable. Towels and soaps were good quality.

Bathroom needs updating

Continental breakfast could have been better.

Room was comfortable & clean, pool area was nice

Breakfast buffet was pathetic, waitstaff didn't know what they were doing.

Comfortable bed, clean room. Great continental breakfast.

The hotel gave someone else our room after we already checked in! We were relaxing in our room when another group walked into our room! We called the front desk. They apologized and later gave a free night stay. I asked that they just give one night stay free on our current stay but they said sense we booked on kayak/hotels.com they couldn't do that. The elevator also broke on our first day there and was still broken by the time we left two days later.

There was nothing to like about this property.

Dirty. Smelled bad. Broken TV. Terrible bed. Bedsheets were ripped. Staff were rude. I read some other reviews of the hotel that were positive and it is not comprehensible how anyone could ever refer to the place as clean.

My husband, myself and our 6 month old son stayed here for 2 nights and the entire stay was perfect, from start to finish. We were greeted with a smile and given great customer service right when we checked in and the hotel itself was very clean and smelled great! Every staff member we met (front desk, cleaners) were always friendly and willing to help in whatever way we needed (bringing a crib to our room, extra towels, and so on). Room was very clean and spacious. Breakfast was great, big variety between hot and cold. Fresh coffee in lobby 24/7! Also, indoor pool and hot tub were clean and warm. Super convenient location, right off highway and near many stores, food places, etc. Definitely coming back here.

Nothing we didn't like, definitely 10/10 hotel!

The hotel, overall, was very well maintained, staff friendly and rooms clean, beds very comfortable. The breakfast had a wide variety and was well staffed and replenished. The breakfast seating was large enough to accommodation most of the breakfast eaters. Within half an hour of arriving, late, the fire alarm went off which "put a bad taste in my mouth" for the hotel. The staff was very efficient in aiding the guests evacuation and determining the safety for our immediate return which quickly redeemed my opinion.

I thought for the money we paid our room was quite small. I had to move the office chair away from the desk to the far side of the room so two people could barely pass at the foot of the bed at the same time.

Close to where I wanted to be.

To expensive for this type of place.

Nothing

Staff was rude. The non-smoking room stunk of smoke, the carpet was beyond filthy, what appeared to be major blood stains on sheets and pillows, toilet had not been cleaned, three of the light bulbs were missing.

The receptionists were rude. When we got there, they didn't even talk to us. They had unfriendly faces talking to us after we had to wait there for awhile.

Once you check in, you may not want to leave until check out. Everything under one roof is provided. We were greeted in a friendly manner. Very nice atmosphere in the lobby and center courtyard. While a free shuttle was advertised, it had been booked by a whole company for 2 hours in the early morning. a little frustrating, but the staff did suggest alternate transportation (Uber) and that did get me to where I needed to go. The opportunity to eat a complimentary light snack and beverage was appreciated after the stressful I94 drive Corky's Pub was good food at a fair price, fast and efficient wait staff. Made to Order breakfast was wonderful from 6-9 am! Wonderful Chef!

PARKING $$$ While absolutely no fault of the hotel, the construction mess around the Capitol is very stressful. People drive too fast and a bit rudely. Be prepared and drive attentively. Not enough parking, It is quite expensive to park around this area.$15/day in the hotel lot for registered guests. Arrive early to get a spot.

We liked that it's close to the freeway -- easy on, easy off. And we really loved the breakfast in the morning -- so much better than a hotel's standard continental breakfast. Was a beautiful, luxurious little getaway for our little family (2 adults and a little baby).

Cookies at check in, comfortable beds and pillows

Waking up to a call from the front desk at 8:30 in the morning on a Saturday after being out late. Not many restaurants in the immediate area.

This hotel is in the heart of St. Paul. Walking distance to the Excel Energy Center and many dining options. Room was clean. I would stay here again.

Temperature control panel in the room did not work. Had to open the window in February to cool down the room.

I loved the modern look of the hotel. The bedding was of good quality, which is a huge plus for me! We had a beautiful view of the river from our room. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to Xcel Energy Centre, which was our destination, so I liked the proximity of the hotel to the venue. Overall I was very happy with my one night stay.

We were given an updated room. While generally nice it was a bit cramped with two queen beds. The staff were friendly overall.

A bit cramped even though it was a updated room. While the staff was generally friendly, getting someone to answer a phone at the front desk and the Valet was slow and frustrating.

Close to Saint Paul

Dirty, a lot weird guests standing by your door.

Clean

Dated Nothing said it was under construction Hotel stated it had a restaurant in the hotel, but that was under construction and closed when we were there.

Staff provided exceptional customer service. Will stay again.

Location to energy center.

The price! They inflate the price just because of the concert. Not worth $250. Can't access lobby from stairs and with a sold out hotel, using the elevator was a nightmare.

The staff was very nice and helpful. Our stay was well worth it in many ways.

The pool was chilly!!! and the floor in the pool area, slippery!

At 9:40 am we were woken up to a loud noise from the room below us. We went down stairs and they said that they were doing some improvements in the that room. They were using tools such as drills. They apologized. Made our morning challenging.

Price, free newspapers, early breakfast (5:30 am)

Breakfast variety and quality, our room hadn't been cleaned, minimal toiletries, inadequate luggage cart

The room was clean and suited our needs as far as amenities.

I made a reservation for two people but was never asked if I needed two beds. I had to share a bed with my 13-year old daughter.

The staff was great and helpful. The breakfast was great!

It was further than we wanted to be from our destination.

Location, clean hotel and extremely happy that a restaurant/bar was on site.

NA

Friendly staff and clean hotel

clean and close to interstates

no

The location is ideal - it is right off the highway and close to all the places we needed to get to.

The only thing was that we found crumbs on the chair in our room and one of the lights was not working. Not a big deal.

Great room hotel shuttle great breakfast

No

Comfortable bed. Very nice continental breakfast food and dining area. Very helpful staff.

No towel bars or bath fan.

We have been here three times and it is wonderful.

The hotel is nothing fancy, but it is clean and comfortable. The lobby and breakfast area were excellent. It is close to a few eating establishments which was nice so that we didn't have to drive very far, if at all, for a nice meal. It sounds like it is far from the Mall of America and the airport, but the interstate highway system makes it a 10 minute drive. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Clean

Maid didn't vacuum, rlnse the tub, or refresh the coffee station. Also the bed was as hard as plywood.

Service was excellent, friendly staff!

We have a 7 month old so a microwave would of helped us with heating up her formula. Microwaves were not available to us.

Water in the room would be nice

This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

It was clean. Breakfast was very good. The location was perfect for us.

Wish they had a fitness center. Our room was not cleaned one day and our phone did not work. This was a bit of a hassle - the desk clerk did not seem to believe us and came up to our room.

The pool deck was dirty and smelled.

The hot tub water was brown.

Clean, good value for the money.

Bed pillows were way too thick. I ended up pulling a pile of clothes out of ny suitcase to use as a pillow instead!

The staff was fabulous and could not have been more helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable.

I paid for my reservation online with kayak. When I went to check in, I was charged an additional 20 something dollars for insurance. It was refunded after we checked out, but it would have been nice to know in advance.
