Great location and staff was very friendly. The room was clean but there were a few items that were overlooked. There was debris on the floor that looked like it was from the last guest and the bathroom sink was poorly cleaned. Overall not a huge deal. I do recommend dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. We had a fantastic meal there.

The Stella Hotel & Ballroom was a perfect spot for my daughter’s wedding - from the rehearsal dinner in the Elk’s room to the bridal suite for getting ready to the ballroom for the reception! The hotel suites were great for our stay. Very Spacious, clean & nice. The regular rooms were also great for our guests! We chose the perfect place to see our daughter say “I do”.

The hotel is a beautiful building and well taken care of. There was a wedding the night I stayed and it was a nice venue, the wedding took over the restaurant bar so had to find somewhere else to dine and it rained for 10 minutes and it was a beautiful night and yet they closed the rooftop bar/restaurant. Honestly was the only reason We stayed there and was promised it would be open and they closed it 10 minutes before opening because it might rain? The room was small but very clean. The staff was a bit stuffy but accommodating. Just disappointed about The Crows nest and the restaurant for the amount it costs to stay there.

Lady at ck in - very curt and short - not welcoming. Seen us coming in and put notice on desk will be gone for short time and walked away from us. No explanation she will be back or had to attend to issue elsewhere. Room was nice, restaurant in house excellent meal. Breakfast muffin was tough and old - coffee was excellent. Parking not so great-it was raining and no canopy to get under. Staff in morning ck out was very cordial.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Unique hotel with cafe, restaurant and bar that were great. Modern room with spacious bathroom. Only issues were that bathroom sink didn’t drain properly, and for the shower, you had to turn the temperature all the way up on hot to get any hot water. Otherwise great stay and would return.
