“Historic three-story towboat on the Mississippi River across from St Paul downtown. Cleverly designed cabins decorated with mahogany, brass and bronze fixtures feel nautical and homely; all have warming fireplaces. Enjoy breakfast in the river-view salon & a sun-bathing deck. B&B with a difference.”
