Rooftop space
Nik N.

The suite we had was modern, comfy and well decorated with two exception, the curtains are not blackout and the bed was WAY too firm. The mattress was similar to a hardwood floor and they added a soft mattress pad to it but it was only 1" thick. My daughter asked if she could sleep on the couch because the bed hurt. The checkin staff gave us the hours of the hot tub but that's all. The bar and restaurant didn't really appeal to us so we went out for meals, the is no breakfast available even for purchase. We did use the hot tub which was great and the rooftop space was pretty cool. Note the towels are indoors versus near the hot tub. We did not use our balcony that I paid a significant up charge to have due to yellow-jackets and the view was of a parking garage We used valet, this weekend was really crowded and I was grateful for the service. Three stars due to the room rate of nearly $1000 a night, seemed excessive for what we got.

OK, talk about a really cool hotel! We were in Stillwater for our company charity event and decided to stay across from the venue. I didn't expect what I encountered at this hotel. First, the place was really cute! From the decor in the lobby to the 100's of bourbon bottles that lined the bar. (I mean insane amounts of alcohol) The front desk staff was super friendly and very welcoming. Once we got checked in, we went up to the room to check it out. Super cute! We had a one bedroom room with kitchen. Really nice space and modern decor. The best part is the rooftop patio! It was a beautiful day and having a drink from the patio looking down at the street and everything going on was super cool and fun! There is also a roof top hot tub which may be fun in the winter when there is 6 inches of snow on the ground! The bar was very fun too! Stillwater is a pretty trendy town so there are a lot of tourists and visitors, very busy! The bar was just lined with liquor bottles. Hard to say how may but I would say around 1500 to 2000 bottles lined the wall. maybe more! The food was also really great! We got the hotdog and boy was it a big dog! lol The only downside I would say is the price to stay at the hotel. We paid close to $600.00 for the room. ouch right? We had a great time! I would definitely stay here again!

These shades don't help in the morning.

The hotel had a free, convenient parking ramp and the hotel's location was great for walking around Stillwater. We used the outdoor hot tub on one of the coldest days, which was a fun experience. The bed was fairly comfortable but the window shades were disappointing because they allowed so much light in, which made sleeping-in difficult. There was a lot of noise outside our window in the morning around 7:00. A man was dumping wood for the smoker, I believe, and it went on for too long. We would have liked a refrigerator in our room. It's a clean hotel and they had friendly employees. I did expect more because of the higher price of the stay.

Funny bathroom wallpaper, modern subway tile bathrooms.  Halloween staycation. Ready to bar hop stillwater.

Outdoor rooftop hot tub that is open in the winter makes a fun experience! I have gone to Hotel Crosby for a staycation at least 4 times and will continue. Especially when the winter feels too heavy, a rooftop hot tub with little bonfires can go a long way. Tip: Take Monday off and stay Sunday-Monday overnight for a cheaper rate and less people. 1 night staycation? Yes. You work hard and deserve even a quicky. Ive also stayed here in the fall and it is really fun to bar hop through Stillwater and walk back without having to worry about transportation. The decor is modern and warm with a lot of character - esp the funny bathroom wallpaper depicting old timey photographs of funny people. I used to go to hotel hewing downtown Minneapolis for quick staycations, but Crosby has a similar vibe and is so much easier with the free ramp parking (behind the hotel). Minneapolis can be a load to get settled (stressy paid parking smaller rooms etc) Stillwater a breeze. Favorites: walk down the street to the velveteen rabbit speakeasy and candy store for a special treat. Walking the trail along the river is a no brainer. The matchsticks restaurant that is part of the hotel is nice if you do not want to walk (like in winter when it is quiet and less is open in Stillwater at night, so this is a nice option to stay put). Matchsticks is swanky and the food menu has fun tapa options. Like delicious mushrooms. Service has never been bad. The lobby has a HUGE movie like screen if you want to watch a game. Bonus: stop at 'just for me spa (5 min drive) and go for a quick salt cave session on your way out. Cheap enough and if you are going your first time they have a discount.

One of the best places to stay in downtown Stillwater! Pull your car up into the valet spot and walk right into the hotel lobby and get checked in! Our front desk gentleman was outstanding! We celebrated 25 years anniversary and chose the Crosby because of its outstanding Decour, great food and friendly staff! This place did not disappoint! Once you check in you can either use the valet service or simply park your car in the free parking behind the hotel which was very easy to get to and parking there was free when you choose to do it yourself! When we arrive in the room we found a bottle of wine with a card written by the hotel staff congratulating us under 25 years of marriage! They did that to give us a great guest experience and was done out of their own kindness which I thought was such a nice surprise! We got a room with the balcony overlooking the back of the hotel which was perfect. It's quiet and you can look down upon the nice patio vibes behind the hotel which is perfect for relaxing, having a drink or simply conversing with family or friends. After you check in and get settled take a walk down on the main street of Stillwater and window shop or grab some food is all of the great restaurants and shopping are within walking distance of the hotel. We had dinner at the Met stick which is connected to the hotel which was a great place. The look of the hotel matches the look of the restaurant attach witches a modern rustic feel throughout. Our waiter was full of smiles and was eager to serve us which was a nice change compared to other restaurants I've been to recently. When you're in the restaurant, the matchstick, order the deep fried cauliflower as an appetizer While you are perusing the menu. And while you're at it order one of their many craft cocktails as they are intentional with their menu and their bartender is one great mixologist ("Drink With the Stars" was a personal favorite). We ordered the Wagyu Beef and it absolutely didn't disappoint! Finish your meal with an order of beignets...you can't order just one plate because they are absolutely addictive! The hotel was definitely clean and up-to-date and was the perfect place for us to stay. The only reason I gave it a four-star review is that the rooftop hot tub looked dirty and the rooftop in general was rundown. The Lounge chairs on the rooftop deck chairs were frayed, worn out with the stuffing coming out of the cushions, etc. I love a good rooftop pool/hot tub, etc but this was disappointing as it simply wasn't kept up. But I will be back!

It's indeed a nice hotel. However the hard bed is enough for me to not stay again. Had a 2-night stay, and my back (as well as my boyfriends) was aching. Here's a snapshot of my experience: HOTEL - staff was kind and welcoming. - free parking in the ramp around corner (park on the main level). - lobby space is shared with Matchstick restaurant, creating active/ tight area. - has a fire pit in the back, as well as on the rooftop where the hot tub is. - if needed, they can provide a mini fridge. It doesn't hold much (not even a 2-ltr soda), but it's an option. -no fitness room, but there's a room labeled as such (looks like boardroom) ROOM -our's had a balcony, which we didn't use due to frigid temps, but I bet it's perfect in better weather. -very spacious, big bathroom, and no closets (Just hooks). - while yes there's a mattress pad, it doesn't do much ...the bed was hard. Told the gal at the front desk (who asked about our stay) and her response was "they're not made for bouncing"..... huh??? That said, given the cost per night I expected a little more umph in style, amenities, and comfort, but overall it was just okay.

Tanya K.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Great location, great ambiance and great food. Love the fire pit on the roof! The bar and restaurant was great too. We all said we'd come back. Walkable to everything downtown! We did all agree a mini fridge would of been helpful. Really surprised there wasn't one.

What a great hotel in such a great town. Fell in love with Stillwater. The room was comfy and brought up an small fridge for us to keep things cold. They have a great bar and rooftop pool.

Abby Q.

We love Hotel Crosby! We stayed here for our wedding anniversary. Amazing service and very kind people. Hot tub on the roof was fun! (did look a little dirty though). We got chocolate covered strawberries as an add on and they were delicious! Cold and perfectly tasty. Also Match Stick is always fun to hit up when we're here and it's so good! The only sad thing is the price is SO high just for one night so we will only stay here for very special occasions.

Med Spa Offered

My previous experience was exceptional, thanks to your kind and welcoming staff. Their warmth and professionalism made my stay truly memorable, and I am looking forward to another delightful experience at your esteemed hotel.

Yvonne M.

Loved the atmosphere here! Just a great place to meet friends for dinner drinks. The bar is impressive with an extensive whiskey list. They have drink specials that are a great value. And the drinks are very good, not shy with the alcohol. We didn't eat anyy foood, but I'll be back to try something. There are many cozy seating spots, plus an outdoor patio in summer months. Just a great place to stop for dinner or an after dinner drink.

Hair in shower of the room sans bugs
Lynn N.

Gross. Black bugs in and on my bed. Room 305. The initial offer was to bring up new sheets. Uhm, no. Not staying in this room-despite the fact that is 1 am. Shower was dirty too. I did move to another room (also two measly hangers, no 'fridge, and: a dirty shower. (Pics) I was very clear I wanted to speak to the Manager Monday night during the move to a different room, said it when I (mercifully checked out Tuesday am), even called back Wednesday. No Manager call. Wow. How come people don't realize you might not post and tell the truth if they just called and dealt with the truth? This hotel is on the surface cute. Dirty, buggy, horribly managed. I'll not stay here again.

Free parking.

Historic charm, but property issues and misleading amenities fell short of the very premium price…read more Review: Our recent extended weekend stay at the Lora Hotel in Stillwater, MN, left us disappointed given the premium price point. After booking well in advance through our travel advisor to secure a premium king room with a balcony, I called the property directly to reconfirm. While the initial booking process was smooth and check-in was efficient, the actual stay did not match the expectations set by their high dynamic pricing model. The Pros: * Location: The hotel is well-situated. Stillwater is a beautiful destination with fantastic dining options and activities, including a highly recommended gondola ride, city tour or paddle wheel boat ride. * Bathroom & TV: The room featured a modern, updated vanity, an excellent walk-in shower, and a perfectly functional television. * Front-of-House Setup: The three designated loading slots in front of the hotel made unloading luggage easy before opting for their $30/day valet service. The Cons: * Room Layout: The premium room was incredibly cramped. There was only about a foot of clearance on either side of the king bed, requiring us to walk sideways just to get in and out of bed. * Housekeeping Oversight: One of the small hard side chairs in our room was completely wet on the seating surface when we arrived, which was an unpleasant surprise to sit on. No soft-sided chairs or couch to relax on. * Persistent Wi-Fi & Phone Issues: The complimentary Wi-Fi disconnected across all devices within minutes of connecting in our room. When I tried to call the desk to report this, the in-room landline phone was completely broken. I had to walk down to guest services multiple times to resolve the issue, and even their alternative network failed to work in our room. * Mixed Service Recovery: While staff offered to move us to a different premium balcony room due to the Wi-Fi issues, no assistance was offered to help us move our luggage to the new room. On a positive note, one staff member did proactively offer to waive our valet fee to compensate us for these ongoing inconveniences. * Disappointing Balcony: The "premium balcony" was a major letdown. It features a solid, 3-foot-high privacy wall and came with zero furniture. Even after requesting high-top chairs, the solid wall completely blocks the view of the street below and across. The only view available is of rooftops and a partial glimpse of the river, meaning you can only stand to see anything. Because of these cumulative inconveniences during peak season, we chose to shorten our stay by one day. While we thoroughly enjoyed exploring Stillwater, the Lora Hotel did not deliver the value or comfort expected of a premium property.

Unbelievable! This place is well worth the price. The private bathrooms are spectacular. Between the eucalyptus steam shower with a myriad of water features and the jacuzzi type soaking tub, we could barely tear ourselves away from our personal spa time to go to dinner. We love the fact they have no tv's in the rooms but an awesome speaker/disc system for music of your choice and a refrigerator full of drinks. They had snacks available upon our check in and I would highly recommend the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for an additional $5 - YUM! The best part of our moring was the delicious breakfast served right to your room. OH My! We loved our breakfast (see picture) and the homemade scones were SO good.

The Mansion is beautiful, a real mix of old and new.. so you get history.. but still really nice bathrooms and big bedrooms It's about three blocks further than the other highly rated one in town and well worth the extra travel. We were greeted by our gracious hosts, Tom and Sandy. We made it just in time for the afternoon snack.. you know.. wine, cheese etc... with time to enjoy the large veranda. In fact, we were there for three nights and made extensive use of the veranda.. at breakfast, in the afternoon and in the evening. Tom and Sandy are good about seating you with people that are a good match.. or if you prefer.. alone.. there is plenty of space. You can even have food delivered to your room. We played croquet on the grounds (yes, they have ample parking, gorgeous landscaping, a fountain and a place to play croquet) it was fun, but when my wife kept beating me I decided it was time to try something else. (I grew up in the city, what do I know about croquet?) Back to the breakfast thing.. one day the whole area suffered a power outage so they fired up the grill and cooked us our breakfast. No big deal, it was excellent. We stayed in the Joseph room, but were able to view all except one and they were all very nice. We had a King sized bed (super comfortable) and an oversized bathroom.. a big tub with jets and a shower that I needed the instructions (laminated) to use.. so many sprayers. As we spoke with the other guests.. we were all in agreement that this is a really remarkable Bed and Breakfast. Tom and Sandy's labor of love really shines. A great value.

It's just steps from downtown, so an excellent location! I loved the 'literary' theme - each room is named after and decorated for a famous author.

Our host, Larry, was truly incredible and so hospitable. He knows Stillwater inside and out and had wonderful recommendations for where to eat and what to see. He even suggested we take a drive up to Marine on St. Croix, about 10-15 minutes north of Stillwater, and we loved it. There is so much history to explore, plus a winery nearby. I recommend it too, if you are staying more than one night. Larry also thought of the little details, like setting out a puzzle he thought we would enjoy. Every evening at 5, the inn hosts happy hour with wine and a beautiful charcuterie spread. The rooms in the attic each had their own charm.

I found out that it's not for a couple like us attending a formal wedding. Don't get me wrong, the hotel is breathtaking in its attention to the literary detail of the sponsored author (Longfellow in our case). But I could not recommend it if you need unique hours, or an actual shower (not a bath) and would like to relax with some tv at night. No wardrobe closet for our formal wear. Nothing but two hangers occupied with two robes. So, in general the hotel is remarkable and Larry helped make it a romantic stay with my girlfriend, and it is brimming with charm in every nook and cranny. Unfortunately, it seems to have confused a period atmosphere with period amenities. Call it a bed-and-breakfast; call it a literary time machine. Just don't call it modern comfort.
