Lodging at the College of St. Benedict

Need a room for the MQ2006 Quilt Show?

As a standard policy, MQ does not get involved with providing accomodations, but we are aware that hotels in St. Cloud may become booked for this occasion. So, the St. Cloud Visitors & Convention Bureau has found an alternative to booking a hotel room. The Visitors Bureau has made arrangements with the College of St. Benedict to rent their dorm rooms.

If you make a reservation the College of St. Benedict please be advised that you will NOT receive a confirmation. You will have a reserved room unless you are contacted by Barb. Your checks will be held and will not be deposited until approximately 10 days before your check-in date.

Our quilter representative toured the facility to get a realistic evaluation of the accomodations and says "they are wonderful." Here is some information for you to consider:

Four buildings of wonderful dorm rooms with varying arrangements, some with one bed, some with two beds. Some have a private bath, some share and some are "clustered" with a common "living" area.

Cost with tax is: single room - $31.95, double room - $26.63, apartment (sleeps four) - $42.60. These fees are per person per night fees.

Handicapped accessible

Parking is right next to the dorms

Good lighting, good security (exterior doors, as well as interior rooms are keyed)

Distances from dorm door to Civic Center is 10 miles

Resturants within 1 block

Vending machines for soft drinks and snacks
