Hotels Along Kellogg Boulevard

(Formerly Third Street)

Some of downtown St. Paul’s most dangerous places to be found on this thoroughfare. Multiple episodes of death and violence can be encountered in the Manitoba House (298 East Kellogg Blvd) If one is a brave soul and not particularly put off by nighttime fires, the Commercial Hotel (198 East Kellogg Blvd) might provide a warm bed.

Further up the street the Roessler Hotel (196 East Kellogg Blvd) offers a favorite final refuge for guests addicted to dangerous drugs. Typically, the empty pockets on their corpses reveal that they could not have paid for their visits anyway.

The Merchants Hotel (159 East Kellogg Blvd)– St. Paul’s oldest and largest hotel – typically has a wealthier clientele , but nevertheless, many of their guests may be quite dangerous in terms of handguns, knives and smallpox.

However, if one is looking for smallpox at a more economical rate, one may want to explore what the Helping Hand Mission Hotel (145 East Kellogg Blvd) has to offer.

If one prefer not to lodge among the indigent, one could look into the Metropolitan Hotel (111 West Kellogg Blvd) which features no shortage of violent acts of desperation among both the guests and the employees. Conveniently located near the trainyards, the Metropolitan Hotel offers easy access for train hopping, should criminals need to make a hasty retreat from the city.
