Hotel Crosby

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! lolThe 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!

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.

Came to Hotel Crosby for a weekend earlier this month and was overall pretty disappointed. It's a room I would maybe pay $200 a night for, but definitely not $400. PROSBooking online was easy enough. There was a good selection of rooms. The prices were a bit higher than other hotels in the area.Location is great! Though luckily downtown Stillwater is pretty small, so anywhere is pretty walkable.Parking was easy. There was a ramp nearby with a bit of a walk to get to the lobby.The room was comfortable and a good size. Bed was super cozy! I loved the balcony though I wish it had a small table.Staff were kind and helpful. We were luckily able to check in a little early and the staff had great communication about the whole process.CONSFor the price of the room, I was honestly expecting a bit more. The amenities were a bit lacking. There was no mini fridge, cheap toiletries, scratchy towels, and just two tiny water bottles. Also no ice machine, but that was clearly communicated and not that big of a deal.Our room also didn't really have curtains. There were only shades that let in a ton of light and we learned you could see into the room with them drawn from the outside. Not a ton of privacy. Staff did come and tack up some tablecloths.The hotel advertised an app but when I tried downloading it, it was nowhere to be found.

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.

Hotel Crosby has become our go-to spot in Stillwater for a staycation.The hotel itself is fairly modern, albeit it with a pretty eclectic decor. A number of rooms have patios, beds/linens are comfortable and we haven't found it to be too noisy. Free parking in the nearby parking garage is also a nice perk for this part of Stillwater. Everything along the main drag in Stillwater is walkable, but if you don't feel like going out, the attached restaurant (Matchsticks) has been enjoyable on multiple visits.Staff have always been very friendly, it's priced reasonably for the area given the amenities and the convenience is tough to beat.

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.

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.

I can't review a business that won't answer the phone or provide for reservations online. I tried booking by phone and was referred to another hotel far away. I give up.

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.
