7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very nice and clean, spacious, but unfortunately faced the street where noisy activities happened early in the morning. The construction works also affected my experience, and the lack of a refund for a booked room was disappointing.

Rooms

The rooms were very nice and clean but facing the noisy street and ongoing construction impacted my stay. Yet, the spaciousness was a plus.

Service

The service was outstanding with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. However, the unresolved issue regarding a room booking refund marred the overall experience.

Location

6.6/10

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the lift bridge in downtown SW, offering a queen bed room. The rooms were minimally clean with an old and tired look, although the proximity to downtown makes it convenient. The television was outdated, the bed was not very comfortable, and the pillows were horrible and lumpy.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location is excellent, being right on the Saint Croix river in downtown Stillwater. Despite some noise from street sweepers and construction workers, the beauty and central location make up for it.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience wasn't very good overall, although it was convenient to order food the night before for room service. Limited options and not up to par for the hotel's price level.

Facilities

6.0

Limited information was provided about the facilities, but the hotel seems to offer basic services without many extra amenities.
