We booked the St Croix Suite to celebrate a milestone birthday with mom/adult daughter. The room was lovely with a seating area and fireplace, so we settled in before walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner. It was dark, but we felt safe.
A good hill climb, and more time relaxing. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is big enough for two.
The bed was a King, and very comfortable. You do not feel movement of the other person, and we slept great.
I would definitely book here again!!
Also breakfast at the Lowell inn, just down the hill was delicious. We both ordered the eggs benedict and were not disappointed.

We had a wonderful visit to the Aurora Staples. It was just a little away from the main area, so it was quiet and convenient. Very Charming. We stayed in the Riverview room which had a small porch and a hanging swing. Very nicely decorated.
Touchless entry was convenient and flexible.

Beautiful house and porch. I recommend that a door be added to the Riverside Suite bathroom.

Contactless entry was easy with passcode. Only available beverages were a kureg coffee maker and bottled water in fridge. Did get voucher for breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
Recommend for those who like victorian style B&Bs. Lovely old furniture and decor. Bed was king and very comfortable.

The property is quaint and rustic. Very close to downtown and very walkable to all things. If you are coming from out of town and Uber-ed from the airport as we did, there are little options to assist with luggage. They did ultimately let us check in early which was helpful. However, if you assume you can drop your bags prior to check in, that is not an option. It states BnB but the breakfast is at another hotel a few blocks away and you have to make reservations 24 hours in advance. Also, the check in check out is all done on your own. Feels more like a shared air bnb than a BnB. Nothing wrong with this but it’s not as transparent online.

Super comfortable room. Beautiful house. Everyone was quiet the night I stayed there. Walking distance to the central district. The sun room off the Riverside Suite has a nice table for work and the territorial view is quite pleasant. Would stay there again.

Exceeded our expectations! The photos do not do justice! After staying here, I could never go back to a traditional hotel. We didn’t want to leave our room! The views, the character, and cozy atmosphere were out of this world. The complimentary breakfast was at a separate location, but was the cherry on top of an amazing stay! WE CANT WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN!

Beautiful, stayed in the carriage house didn't make it into the main house. Was disappointed that the breakfast wasn't at the house. Breakfast was at the Lowell inn a couple blocks away reservation was required. Didn't see anywhere on the website that breakfast would be else where. Probably wouldn't have booked as it defeats the purpose for us.

This is our second stay here with my daughter as a mom-daughter overnight. The inn is pleasant and the location is great. The room was too hot, which made it difficult to sleep at times. The St. Croix suite was lovely. Would stay there again. I do miss the morning breakfast as the breakfast at the nearby restaurant was lacking.
5.0
Stay was very good. The hot tub in the room is actually a luke warm tub. However I kind of understand, as hot water would probably create moisture problems in the room over time. Very well kept historic house. The chocolates when entering, and in the room are a nice touch. Nice place!

This is the nicest place we have ever stayed in Stillwater. I take my mom for a “Stillwater Sleepover” once a year for her birthday present. It’s a special tradition, and since we live in Minneapolis, it’s easy. We like trying new places, but now we will always stay here! The place is gorgeous, the quiet hospitality is amazing, and the location is perfect. We found our place!

My husband and I are staying for a little anniversary get away. Amazing experience! The rooms are beautiful, immaculately clean, and there are thoughtful little touches for guests throughout. I’m 28 weeks pregnant with twins and the jetted tub has given me life!

The Aurora Staples Inn is a beautiful home. If you are looking for a quiet charming place not too far from downtown Stillwater, this is perfect. Our room and bathroom were beautiful.

Had a nice, short stay celebrating our anniversary. Easy to find and nice to have parking provided. The contactless check-in was a breeze. Everything at the property appeared to be very well maintained, was clean and felt very Victorian. Enjoyed our stay in the Riverview suite. Loved the porch! Overall our stay was comfortable and quiet, just what we needed. Short walk to main street/lift bridge area.

We loved the historical details of the Inn. The bed was very comfortable and the room details were amazing! Historical pictures and books available in every room which takes you back to what life may have been like at the turn of the century.

The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The best part was taking a bubble with with the fireplace on. I can't wait to go back.

Very clean and pleasant. Two blocks away from the main downtown area in Stillwater. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed.

The carriage House was awesome; spacious, meticulously period decorated, lots of lighting, a very capable fireplace, comfortable bed and an abundance of seating. The private parking was just another wonderful perk.

We had such a great time. Loved the house! We were a bit disappointed at first when we found out they didn’t actually have the breakfast there. We had to leave and go to another inn for breakfast, but the Lowell Inn is historic and the food was amazing, plus it was just a five minute walk down the street. I would definitely stay again.
8.0
Such a charming inn! But squeaky floors and doors like one would expect in a historic home. No on-site breakfast. No bathroom door! Just a curtain! If you would like to immerse yourself in Victorian decor, this place is for you.

There is mold odor that is so not comfortable to stay en enjoy
