We were here for only one night. The location is great---right on Main Street a block from the river and famous lift bridge. It's a pricey boutique hotel in an historical building that has been refurbished in a contemporary mode. Many good restaurants and shops are less than a 5 minute walk away. The best part of our stay was the restaurant (Feller). Very creative food done very well, and they have a lovely patio for dining. If not for the restaurant, my rating of this hotel would be lower. I have made about 400 Tripadvisor reviews, so have a lot of experience with different types of lodgings. Our king room on the 4th floor was fine---nothing that special, but comfortable with a sofa in front of the TV. The view was ugly, however. The best part of the room was the huge bathroom with a nice walk-in shower. Overall, I would say that the room and other qualities of the hotel did not justify such a high price in this small town. The restaurant doesn't serve breakfast, but there is a little coffee shop attached to the building where you can get pastries, oatmeal, etc. Unfortunately, the morning we ate there the proprietor was having some equipment issues, and our breakfast was not good. Our biggest issue here was related to the parking situation. There was only one person at the desk when we checked in around 5PM (and perhaps the only worker at the hotel at that time). There is a $30 valet charge for parking (high for Stillwater?). But the regular valet was off this night, so she volunteered to park our car on the restaurant lot up a hill behind the hotel. She gave me another option of parking a half block away at a city lot with a very low overnight rate. I took that option, but when I got to this lot, there didn't seem to be any way to pay, and luckily some workers saw me, and explained that the lot was being re-striped early the next morning. It took me 10 minutes to find out that I shouldn't be parking there tonight. So I drove the car directly to the hotel lot, so the desk clerk wouldn't have to do it. All of this was a 15 minute hassle, part of which my wife was waiting in the lobby. I had no issues with the desk clerk---she was very nice. But the next morning I dealt with a different person who appeared to be a manager. I told her about the parking hassle. Before I even could finish the story, she got very defensive and argumentative (which got me hot), but she finally agreed to waive the valet fee. There was another young lady at the desk that morning, and she did agree that I should have been able to at least finish the story. To clarify, the hotel staff was fine except for this one individual. The above was a lengthy comment, but it needs to be said given other reviews critical of the hotel staff or management. Overall, good room and great dinner. But the hotel offerings and service do not seem to justify the high price of staying here, and at least one staff member should be counselled to not be so argumentative with customers. The park
