Retro hotel for a retro girl
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/18/06
For a change of pace, I got a hotel in downtown St. Paul on business. The hotel realizes that it is in a downtown area, however, it is not overly posh, and as a result, very reasonably priced.
Some aspects of the hotel could use a bit of updating, but the room, in it's pink '80s elegance, suited me just fine. My two most important needs, cleanliness and a good bed, are easily met. My only complaint was a metal soap dish in the shower that probably needs to be replaced, but it's fixed into ceramic tile--not a cheap fix.
Otherwise, it's like I'm staying in an opulent hotel in 1985...at 1985 prices!
