Love the location. Convenient to shopping and trails. The 2 restaurants onsite are incredible. We did have a ticking noise all night possibly from the air conditioning - it kept us up most of the night. Otherwise, we would recommend this hotel and plan to stay there again.

The room was beyond dated, it felt like it was falling apart..bathtub..had a bunch of half hearted repairs. The overall vibe of the room was creepy haunted room in your oddball family members Home..the location of the hotel was great. The room was not something I would recommend or repeat. The carpet in the ramp was literally damp. If the hotel invested literally 300.00 it would make a huge difference.

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.

WE STAYED FOR OUR 18TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. AT 9:30 PM A STORM CAME IN AND TOOK OUT ALL POWER TO STILLWATER. THE INN HAS NO BACKUP GENERATOR SO, FROM THAT POINT ON WE WERE IN DARK, NO AIR-CONDITIONING. THE COST OF ROOM AND PRIVATE PARKING WAS CLOSE TO 250 DOLLARS. WE ASKED FOR A PARTIAL REFUND AS WE CHECKED OUT AT 7:30 AM. WE COULDN'T SLEEP ALL NIGHT AND POWER STILL WASN'T ON! THE MANAGER HASN'T EVEN RESPONDED TO MY CONCERNS AND REQUESTS FOR PART OF THE CHARGES TO BE REFUNDED. VERY DISSATISFIED

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.
