Convenient location, right downtown. Rooms on river side have views of Lowell Park, St. Croix River and the lift bridge. Rooftop restaurant and the Irish Pub at street level are both good. The rooms are spacious and very clean, comfy mattress and offer a variety of pillows so you can find one that suits. The balcony windows and chair cushions could've been cleaner, but they were acceptable.

Had a great experience. We loved the overall stay and our room was super cute.The parking was not free, but it was very convenient having the reserved parking for the downtown area. Even after our checkout we wanted to stop and shop at a couple more stores before heading back home and the inn accommodates the extra time for you to stay in their parking lot. Definitely would recommend staying here and will be back for our next visit!

We love staying on the water - we do it every year for my husband's birthday. I will say - this year we were bummed that our room didn't have hand soap/toiletries so we had to call down for that (they brought it up immediately) and then our coffee pot was gross - but they brought us coffees as soon as the restaurant opened, so also quick fix :) The parking lot is also such a wonderful perk when Stillwater is otherwise challenging to find a spot. It took a lot of the stress off so we could enjoy a mini-getaway! Looking forward to next year!

Excellent location but that is the only good thing. Hotel is understaffed and the few workers they have work so hard and are trying their best. Hotel is lacking amenities, decor is dark, outdated, old carpet and bathrooms. No place to store or hang your clothes. No counter space at all in the bathroom. I had to put my toiletries bag on the floor. The binds could not be pulled down in the rooms because there was no pull down cord/ mechanism. They do not provide complimentary bottles of water in the room. We asked for tea bags and front desk said they don’t provide them. They ran out of dinner plates and our entrees were served on small glass salad plates. Bottom line - overpriced and in need of a major remodel.
