Take I-94 to the McKnight Exit. Take McKnight South to the first light. This is Burns Avenue. West (right) and you are there. Park in front or behind the hotel.
To get to CotN via bus, take Route 63. This route goes from St. Thomas, through Macalester and downtown St. Paul, and on to the hotel at Burns and McKnight. If you're transferring you'll want to get to downtown St. Paul and pick up the 63 on either 5th (East) or 6th (West) Streets. Use the Trip Planner to plan your way there.
On Friday, ride a 63K (Eastbound) to reach the hotel; the 63S stops at Sun Ray Transit Center, which is across the highway. (You can walk the rest of the way from there if you need to; go East across the entire mall area to McKnight and then cross under the highway.) The last 63A (Westbound) goes past the hotel at around 11:50 PM.
Saturday the 63K starts at 5:30 AM, leaving downtown at around 6 AM and runs about every half hour. The last 63A goes past the hotel at around 12:50 AM; it runs once every half hour until 6:45 and then once an hour thereafter.
On Sunday both buses run about once an hour but trips only go by the hotel about once every two hours. The first 63K trip starts at around 5:30 AM and leaves downtown around 6 AM. The last 63A goes past the hotel at around 10:35 PM.
