The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites-St. Paul

Comfort & Convenience Just Outside the City Beat

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites-St. Paul in Vadnais Heights offers a peaceful retreat just outside the buzz of Minneapolis and St. Paul. With easy access to highways and only about 14–15 miles from major venues like U.S. Bank Stadium and Target Field, this hotel blends suburban calm with urban excitement. Free WiFi, a fitness center, indoor pool, and friendly 24-hour service make it a reliable home base for music-filled getaways.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love this hotel's strategic location—far enough from the city for a quiet night’s sleep, yet close enough to reach venues like TCF Bank Stadium or downtown Minneapolis within 20–30 minutes. Flexible express check-in and check-out are a major plus for late arrivals or early departures. Public transport is limited, but having free parking makes rideshare or driving an easy option after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly stay with shared spaces
  • Solo travelers catching a dream show and needing a quiet base
  • Couples wanting a weekend away with a little less city chaos
  • Fans who need a calm spot to recharge after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious guests who still want solid amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free hot breakfast—perfect for recovering from a late night—and there's a bar on-site for a nightcap. While there’s no full-service restaurant open late, snack and drink vending machines are available 24/7. Plus, several restaurants and fast food spots are a short drive away for pre- or post-show meals.

Nightlife Options

Though there's no live music venue on-site, the hotel bar offers a low-key place to wind down. For those wanting more action, downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis nightlife—including bars, breweries, and lounges—is a short ride away.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the clean rooms, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. Travelers love the convenience of the location, especially for those driving to events. Families and solo guests alike appreciate the indoor pool and hot tub after a long day.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn't in walking distance to music venues or late-night food, so having a car (or planning for rideshare) is a must. Some guests mention the décor is a bit basic, but most agree it’s clean and comfortable.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a quiet, affordable, and convenient stay with easy access to the Twin Cities' top concert venues, Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites-St. Paul hits the right note.

Good for the price but...

Liked: The location and staff were fantastic. It was right next to a restaurant that was great and would be even better if the weather was bad.
Disliked: The hot tub jets were broken and it wasn’t very hot. This caused a lot of kids to go in there because pool was very cold too. The shower in our room looked like it had a moldy drain.
