    Lovely Weekend

    April 02, 2013

    We came for a one night stay over Easter weekend, on a vacation "package" through TravelZoo. The value of the package was exceptional! Food at dinner and Easter brunch was exceptional. Easter brunch was a bit difficult to maneuver just because of the sheer number of guests, I'm sure a "normal" weekend Sunday brunch would be wonderful. We loved the charm and beauty of this historic site, the decor of the rooms definiately fit the time period that the hotel was built - and they were beautiful. The bed was older, and a bit creaky. Otherwise no trouble with the room at all. The view of the river and bridge is outstanding, I look forward to returning when the hillside is green and the river is flowing.

    A Great Getaway

    March 29, 2013

    This was our 2nd stay at Water Street Inn. This time our stay included dinner, brunch and drinks for 2. The suite was beautiful with antique/reproduction Victorian furnishings, fireplace and a jacuzzi. Our dinner and brunch were delicious with just enough choices on the menu. Your staff was very helpful, friendly and enjoyable to talk with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return.

    Step back in time....

    February 03, 2013

    Being an "old soul," one who loves the Victorian age, and whose home is all late 1800s antique, a two-night getaway to Water Street Inn fit me perfectly! The hotel and our room were beautiful, the reproduction furniture so lovely; the fireplace was so cozy for our sub-zero January stay; the wallpaper, wall lamps, and sitting area so reminiscent of that step back in time. The bathroom was built into what was once a vault, and was huge, with lovely arced ceiling--the only thing modern being the large jacuzzi! Of course the setting in old town Stillwater with all its antique shops is fitting to the whole back in time experience. We intend to make this our twice a year romantic getaway!
