Stillwater is now a weekend town.

This was a midweek overnight getaway to quaint, historical Stillwater. Amazingly, many of the shops and restaurants have cutback to only weekend openings, which was disappointing. The "new" inn doesn't have the old charm of the original building, but certainly has all the modern features. The add-on parking charge felt wrong.

Nice Hotel but. The old Victorian side of the hotel is very old and not well kept. The carpet is soiled in some areas . The old furniture you sink in the chairs. And the carpet you walk down to your room is very old, run down. I said to myself this can’t be the right way to my room. But it was. It was creepy , old, the whole area hallway and room. New carpet would make a big improvement down that hallway. I couldn’t stay or even sleep in that area. No way!! And heard other people say that to. Much improvement needed. The front desk gentleman had an amazing new room. New area. Much, much better and enjoy my stay. So if you go there stay in the new area. But it’s Your choice.

We had a great time. Charlie’s Irish pub downstairs had live music at night but with the soundproof room you wouldn’t know. Only thing. If you get a vault room… your bathroom is the vault… your doors might not close all the way. Our furniture was damaged as well. Could use with a maintenance sweep to look for small repairs that are needed.

Look Elsewhere For The Price

Not impressed with this hotel at all. Lady at front desk was very unwelcoming and definitely could use a course on being personable. When we got to our room first thing we noticed was 2 light bulbs out which really made an already dark room worst. 2 of the trash cans had garbage still in them. Bathroom toilet paper role was basically empty and needed to hold the handle down for a while so it would flush. Tried to get more light in the room by opening the roller blinds but they are SO old and wouldn't role up. They were filthy and had torns/stains. For the money they charge I would say look elsewhere down the street which are much nicer. Realize our room was in the older part of the hotel but for the price they charge why not update some of the little things. Newer part looks nice but also much more expensive.

We were in Stillwater for a wedding which took place at 4pm. Check in isn’t until 4pm- I never considered requesting early check in because most hotels allow early check in if you ask in these types of situations. The hotel employee said the rooms weren’t ready and never bothered to check with anyone to see if any were clean. We sat and waited for an hour and he lets us check in a 3:30pm. Hotel is old and wasn’t very clean. Very disappointed for the price!
