I would have appreciated a better coffee bar area/variety, since no complimentary breakfast. Other than that everything else was great. The bed was very comfortable!

Two sides to every story

Hotel has 2 part, old worn out late 80s early 90s part and newer part, we were put in the 80s part (which you dont know about until you get there), spartan at best, may have been ok for a hayseed town out on the prairie but this is Minnesota's Birthplace City. Front desk was good.

Excellent hotel on the St Croix River

This is a really comfortable historic hotel that has been updated. Very large rooms, some with views of the river. A good Irish pub in the building serves meals, and the shops and restaurants of Stillwater are all within a couple of blocks. Very relaxing stay.

More Money

They tried to charge me more money at checkin saying hotels.com didnt give them enough money when I booked. In all my years of using this service I have never encountered this. For the price we paid I was underwhelmed. The shower head was the worst.
amanda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We were awoken at 7:30 by banging and construction

When we checked into our hotel, we were not informed that there was renovation work on the roof, directly above our room. The noise was very loud and disruptive-we could not use our balcony until the workers left at 5 pm. The next morning the pounding on the roof started again at 7:30 am. When we complained to the front desk attendant, he was surly and said he was not aware of the repair work and was unable to do anything about it. The room was already overpriced for the size, and being woken up at 7:30 by pounding banging was unacceptable.

A night away

Love the ambience of the hotel. Rooftop bar was fantastic.
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean, nice place to stay. It was a girlfriend’s weekend and we loved all the little shops. Only issue was we had 3 rooms and we all rode together and hotel tried to charge $20 per room for parking? One car .
Gauge, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel stay was one of the worst I’ve experienced. The room was advertised as having two beds, but upon arrival there was only one bed and a pull out couch. My request for early check-in was an epic fail. I was told at 11:30 the room was currently being cleaned; didn’t receive a call from the hotel until 7 minutes prior to our original scheduled check-in time. Parking - not enough characters left in this review to remotely cover my disgust with the parking situation. Apparently this hotel expects all guests to arrive in ONE vehicle and there are ZERO accommodations or alternative parking options for their guests when there’s more than one vehicle. RIDICULOUS!!! The staff was cold and didn’t seem to want to truly help resolve any issues to make our experience better. For $400+ a night —- I expect far more for my money. Instead, I received semi rude customer service, a lack of accommodations (no extra parking, no fridge, microwave or ice bucket in the room). No extra blankets in the room for the additional bed (I mean pull out couch with a HORRIBLE mattress.) A jacuzzi tub that still had cookie crumbs on it from the guests who stayed in the room before us. And the bathroom grout = disgusting; clearly this is due to the water that backs up when the shower is running. This hotel clearly hides behind the word “historic” in order to charge their guests ridiculous prices for subpar rooms that offer little to no amenities. Save yourself the trouble - book elsewhere!

This is a historic property but they keep it up very well. Very good location we didn't have to drive after we arrived. The tubs are pretty loud. Service was wonderful from the Front desk to Charlie's.
