Music Returns to Cork's - August 27

We're so excited to announce that Live Music will be returning to the Cork's stage after its months-long hiatus. This Tuesday, August 27 (and then every other Tuesday thereafter), Mia Dorr will be joining us from 7-10pm to entertain pub-goers with her award-winning voice.

About Mia: "Mia Dorr has been a singer in the Twin City music scene for over 20 years. During her career she has been a member of DiscFunktion and the Prophets of Soul, as well as performing with the Power of Ten, among other groups. She is currently a member of YOLO.

Her 2007 winning performance of the national singing competition in Las Vegas can be seen in the video section. Between 2002 and 2007 Mia performed three times on the main stage at WeFest as the result of winning several singing competitions."

For more information, we invite you to visit her website: http://www.miadorrsinger.com/.

Mia is one live music performer you won't want to miss, so join us tomorrow in the Air Conditioned cool of Cork's and enjoy her wonderful voice over dinner with your sweetie, drinks with colleagues, or even just a nice glass of wine with some great friends!

Then, make plans to join us once again every other Tuesday to enjoy Mia Dorr over your favorite Cork's fare.

"Great Improvement" 
Reviewed August 18, 2013
I have used this hotel since the 80s, stopped using it two years ago because it was so dated. Having a difficult time booking a room I decided to go back to old faithful. Lobby the same, up to the room and did a double take, brand new! Excellent staff, nice clean rooms that are up to date, all that's left is the lobby. Nice place to stay.

"great stay"

My last trip to the Embassy Suites in St. Paul was a pleasant surprise. The guest rooms had been updated to a modern look. The furnishings are all new and everything looks current. The breakfast was delicious as usual and the shuttle drivers are friendly and helpful.

“Stay was great! Remodel definitely worth it!”
Reviewed August 8, 2013
I was pleased with my stay at the Embassy Suites in St. Paul. The only thing that could have been better was complimentary wi-fi. The room was great, spacious, had a nice window seat with windows that open and a balcony outside of the bedroom. The service was awesome and the omelet to order was fantastic!

"Great Hospitality"
Reviewed August 5, 2013
The staff could not do enough for us. The breakfast was cooked to order abundant and fresh. The Manager's reception in the evening was terrific not just wine and cheese bu cocktails made to order. They even have a little business center. If you are headed to StPaul or Minneapolis this is a great place to stay.

Very good hotel for the family. Was upgrade to a bigger room for 5 dollar per night and that really helped. Hilton is a safe bet if you want clean, safe and good service. Also had a happy hour with free beer, wine and snacks that was nice.

“Free Breakfast is great”
Reviewed July 29, 2013
The great free breakfast here makes up for the taxi fare to local attractions. The interior courtyard layout is nice & creates a relaxed protected atmosphere. Cork's Pub is convenient & has great food.

“Great Stay at the Embassy Suites (newly renovated rooms!)”
Reviewed July 24, 2013
My husband and I made this hotel our home away from home for that last several days due to our A/C at home being on the fritz in the middle of a heat wave! This hotel was great!! Lovely, brand new rooms in tasteful shades of restful gray tones - it was very relaxing and spotlessly clean!! Comfortable bed, extremely quiet. Nice front desk staff. And great desserts in the restaurant! We would stay again in a heart beat!!

So, a hearty thank you to all of our wonderful guests who go the extra mile to leave us a review. We just love hearing about everyone's experiences while in-town and on-property, so keep up the good work!
