The room was great and the hotel in great condition. Only complaint was the bed was a bit thin and hard. But if you’re gonna stay downtown, no place better.

Super loud all night long (cars, people) and other rooms jet tubs going off at 2 AM kept us up for a while. Staff were super nice! Our room was cute but no fridge or microwave for that price. The best thing about the hotel was the location, close to everything!

The location was great and we had a balcony overlooking the river. Loved the view and the ease of getting to and from places. Also, loved that it had its own designated parking spaces.

Neat historic building in a great location for exploring Stillwater on foot. Additional cost for parking seemed high but was conveniently located across the street (very little overnight on street parking in the town).

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“Historic” doesn’t equate to old, outdated and ugly.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.
