The new part of the hotel is in great shape, once you pass through the hall into the old section, the carpet is worn and appears dirty. The room did not resemble the pictures on line. The wallpaper is coming off the wall, the room smells of mildew and it is poorly furnished. The other hotels similarly priced in Stillwater are far superior!

Our room was pretty dated and could definitely use an upgrade but the bed was very comfy and the room had its charm. The patio furniture was very worn and the whirlpool tub looked old and wasn’t all that inviting either. Wallpaper was peeling in places. Not a huge deal as we still enjoyed being there but given the price, you’d expect something that had been a bit better maintained. Also, I was not impressed with the reception staff. When I called to ask if our room would be available if we arrived 45 min before check in, she said she didn’t know. They also weren’t able to accommodate a late check out. At 930 am, we heard nonstop creaking floors above us and vacuuming. The housekeepers were already cleaning which didn’t provide for a very peaceful morning for guests. Positives: fantastic location on the River, very walkable to river paths, shops, restaurants, coffee, ice cream and bars. They have a rooftop bar which we didn’t visit. Had lunch at the hotel restaurant which had great views.

The river view room is very nice. I wish there were real doors on the bathroom but that’s my only feedback.

Beautiful, modern room with comfortable bed and awesome views!

There was clearly a historical story about the property, but I didn't invest too much time exploring it. Wonderful old building that has addition placed onto in the years but with an unknown story of how, when, or why. I'm going to be going back again and ask more questions about it.

Very convenient

The older rooms are disgusting.. They are run down furniture is falling apart and the wallpaper was peeling off the walls. For over $300 a night I would never come back here again. Luckily we were here in the summer and we were not spending a lot of time in our room.

The view and location were perfect!

I definitely was not happy that I was mislead about parking. I literally asmed check in girl if there was a fee as I read there was. I looked behind bed and saw someones pld ear plugs. In the age of Covid not cool. Also asked for extra sheets that never came. Im big on cleanliness & customer service. Otherwise I loved this place and would go back. But did not feel Covid safe in the slightest. Just sayin'.

The front desk staff were less than friendly, but the hotel was great. The location is fantastic, right on the river and the rooftop patio cannot be beat. Their was a recent remodel and they did a great job, it's beautiful. We stayed in the older part of the hotel, so it was very dated, but yet charming. Bathrooms could use some updating.

In house restaurant and banquet facilities. Nice historic facility that is well maintained.

The room was very cute and I loved the historical style. The view out our window was not good and finding the room was confusing and could have been marked better.

Great location. Rooms are outdated and musty. Staff seemed less than thrilled to be providing service.

This place is really neat. The location is great, right in downtown Stillwater and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The amenities are modern, but the style is true to the original building. I recommended it to a friend when I got back.
