A lovely and interesting hotel

We enjoyed our stay at the Water Street Inn. A fantastic location. The Irish restaurant was very good for breakfast. We didn't have any sheets or extra blankets to use in our suite, so we had to ask for them to bring them to the room. Also, not all the windows had shades on them. We had three people in our suite, but they only had enough towels for two people. Overall the room was quiet except for a drunk yelling during the middle of the night.

“Historic” doesn’t equate to old, outdated and ugly. Paper thin noisy walls and very loud traffic noise. Nice location, but very overpriced.

Please consider another property when visiting the Stillwater area. The bed was horrible. It was so wore out and had no support whatsoever. Don’t look too close at the carpeting. It’s so dirty. They must not have a crevice/edge tool for their vacuum. The edges and corners were so dust filled and dirty. The shower had minimal pressure and the handle to turn the water on/off was rusty and full of mold. The edge of shower door and corners of shower also had mold on them. The bathroom does not have a vanity, making it difficult to get ready. Also the room didn’t have a desk, just a very small 6” x 6” table. The mantle above the fireplace was about to fall off. At the bar, Charlie’s, we had a hard time getting service. The first attempt we sat at the bar and no one was around to take our order. An hour or so later we did manage to get one drink. The bartender was more concerned with a group of buddies who were also there. The location was great. The towels were soft. We do not recommend.

The room was good for the deal we got. I’d be disappointed to pay what they usually charge for this room. The carpet could use cleaning or replacing. We didn’t get a balcony, but had a window view of the river.

My husband called a couple of days before our check-in to see if early check in was available, to which they said yes. We got there very early, but waited until about 2 before we asked about the early check in. There had been a couple of other people that came in asking about early check in and the woman at the counter was quite rude, so we didn't even bother asking. It was not a good first impression at all. The restaurant is amazing though! Our server Ashley was incredible!!

This is a lovely historic inn, and my room overlooked the bridge and the river - which was beautiful. I was surprised to get charged an extra $75 when I arrived; $40 for parking two nights and the rest they said was because Hotels didn't "charge enough tax." So that was an unpleasant start. But it was lovely, the area is very nice, and definitely a nice place.

Had a room over looking river. Chairs on deck had bird crap on cushions and were generally in poor shape. Room was average and seemed smaller then web site picture. Tried it, but until they do a major update, probably will not stay there again

Affordable but certainly get what you pay for. The rooms are a bit old, which was fine but in the middle of the night there was a loud humming machine that woke us up. It sounded like it was coming from above us and lasted for 30 minutes. We have no idea what is was but it was quite obnoxious.

Excellent hotel on the St Croix River

This is a really comfortable historic hotel that has been updated. Very large rooms, some with views of the river. A good Irish pub in the building serves meals, and the shops and restaurants of Stillwater are all within a couple of blocks. Very relaxing stay.
