This hotel stay was one of the worst I’ve experienced. The room was advertised as having two beds, but upon arrival there was only one bed and a pull out couch. My request for early check-in was an epic fail. I was told at 11:30 the room was currently being cleaned; didn’t receive a call from the hotel until 7 minutes prior to our original scheduled check-in time. Parking - not enough characters left in this review to remotely cover my disgust with the parking situation. Apparently this hotel expects all guests to arrive in ONE vehicle and there are ZERO accommodations or alternative parking options for their guests when there’s more than one vehicle. RIDICULOUS!!! The staff was cold and didn’t seem to want to truly help resolve any issues to make our experience better. For $400+ a night —- I expect far more for my money. Instead, I received semi rude customer service, a lack of accommodations (no extra parking, no fridge, microwave or ice bucket in the room). No extra blankets in the room for the additional bed (I mean pull out couch with a HORRIBLE mattress.) A jacuzzi tub that still had cookie crumbs on it from the guests who stayed in the room before us. And the bathroom grout = disgusting; clearly this is due to the water that backs up when the shower is running. This hotel clearly hides behind the word “historic” in order to charge their guests ridiculous prices for subpar rooms that offer little to no amenities. Save yourself the trouble - book elsewhere!

The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Stillwater near shops, restaurants, and the riverfront. The rooftop restaurant/bar has a spectacular view of the river. While the outside and public areas have been renovated, the room was dated to the point of shabbiness. The bathroom could use a complete renovation and the room a paint refresh. The room was dimly lit and low on outlets. There was no desk and the chairs at the small table were very uncomfortable. Linens and towels were new and clean. Parking is not included and the lot associated with the hotel is pricey, but there seems to be a lot of metered or free street parking available.

The room smelled musty and was kind of dingy. Plus, being charged extra for parking in their lot was an unexpected fee on top of everything else. That actually really frustrated me. $300 a night and you still gotta pay for more stuff. So tiring in this world lately.

The rooms were adequate but t outdated. The building is old but doesn't not have the old charm to it. Very little is in the way of updating or modernization is done. AC units old and smell of mold. The whole feel of the hotel is old and worn but not run down. Feels like the owners are doing just "enough" to keep it running.

CONS: - ants in bathroom - dust everywhere (check vanity lights) - peeling/chipping paint/wallpaper - DATED, not historical, decor - stained carpet room and hotel - not worth the expense and received no comp for the ANT issue - ants in bathroom even after having us stay out of room for the day so they could spray (2 nights, 3 days - over $1000 suite) PROS: * super staff!!!! * location fabulous - view unforgettable * quiet room * soft comfortable bed * temperature control great * lots of space (no mini fridge)
