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.

6.0/10

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 The television was outdated, the bed was not very comfortable, and the pillows were horrible and lumpy.

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

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

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