Lowell Inn

I absolutely adore The Lowell Inn. This has become my favorite place to stay when in Stillwater. This historic hotel is beautiful and has so many details that can not be missed. The hallways are reminiscent of the past and remind me often of the Titanic and the dining rooms have an old elegant charm. There are fresh baked cookies upon check in and there are brochures for all the activities for you to do in Stillwater. The rooms are always comfortable and clean and some have even had famous guests in the past. The Lowell Inn serves breakfast and lunch everyday and the food was phenomenal. We were offered an assortment of fresh bread. For lunch we ordered the Almond Crusted Walleye with sour cream mashed potatoes and asparagus with a lemon cream sauce. Which I will definitely be getting again! Our other order was Chicken A La King and had fresh ingredients and great flavor.

The Lowell Inn is a fun place to eat with it's beautiful stately décor that transports you to a fancy swiss chalet. There are 4 dining rooms + the newest 2010 event space. The Matterhorn room only serves a 4 course fondue menu that must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance at $58/person, only served on Friday and Saturday nights. I am not sure where else except the mainstream melting pot you can get this experience. Sabrina was our server for the night. She was knowledgeable and brought out all the food in a timely manner. There was only one other couple the night we went on a Saturday in late June. Our experience was very private and quiet while surrounded by wood carvings that took 3 painstaking years to make. The food was good. The cheese course was my favorite. This is a lot of food. Make sure this is your only meal for the day! They do let you take the oil course and grapes home in a doggie bag. I highly recommend this meal for a fun night out!

Ok, I wasn't going to take the time to write a review until I saw another review years earlier about some noise they heard during the night. It must have been between 3:30-4 am when my husband and I awoke to what sounded like chairs slowly being pushed across a wooden floor. We are fairly certain it was coming from directly above us (we were on the 2nd floor) which is strange because I thought it was another hotel room (with carpet). I would say the noise was continuous for about 10-15 minutes. It was so strange. I mean, if they are going for an old spooky hotel I think they nailed it on the head here.

There were four of us that went for the fondue dinner. Our waitress Sabrina was excellent and really personable. There were four courses offered. The first course was bread with a cheese fondue, and marinated veggies. The salad was next. The hot oil fondue included shrimp, duck and beef. The last course included fresh grapes Devonshire cream and brown sugar. Very light and tasty, not too sweet. We of course added the chocolate fondue on to our courses. Which was fabulous. At this point we were all basically pretty miserable from being so staffed.Parking is easy because they are a hotel and have a parking ramp attached.

Went to an event held in the Lowell inn restaurant a few days ago. The food was overpriced for what it was, the staff was ill prepared. ---For the price paid, IMO, the food was mediocre.Terrible service by the event staff.Don't read this wrong, the staff weren't rude, they were polite and appeared to work with what they had. The place was ill prepared and understaffed. I thought maybe this would be a nice place to go based on reading some historical notes on who former guests were. ---I've been around the world many times and eaten at/stayed at 1-5 star venues in may countries. I've written restaurant reviews professionally for a few years, reviewing 4 and 5 star restaurants for a restaurant review company. IMHO, this was one of the worst for value. Unimpressed.

1 Not happy this hotel there's lady bugs inside the room 5 of them carpet dirty,bathroom smell mildew so is our room everything outdated it would be nice if they clean all towels are old the bed sheets,pillows smells musty the rest lady bugs went to the sinks

Brought my daughter and her friends here to celebrate her 13th birthday with a fancy brunch. The food was so good, but more important the owner and waitress were so nice to the girls and made them feel so special. We loved the atmosphere here too, of course. Beautiful building.

What a friendly and beautiful inn. Staff are so welcoming. Service is superb. Food was outstanding?

Super clean, one of a kind hotel. Definitely fits the antique vibes of Stillwater. Very thankful to have found this place.

Was excited to stay here based on pictures and other reviews as I was in town to play a show for a military fundraiser event. Well as luck would have it I left my wallet back home and didn't have my I.D. when I informed the man at the front desk about it and told him that the company that booked the room for the event can be called and the problem will be fixed he was extremely rude and let me know how much extra work that this was creating for him. As far as the room it was quaint and dated. The bed was about as comfortable as sleeping on top of my humvee in Afghanistan. Truly one of the most uncomfortable beds I have encountered in my travels. I understand keeping with being a historic hotel vibe but updating the mattress once every 40 yrs wouldn't hurt.The bathroom "nook" had a very institutionalized toilet that you would find in barracks built in WWII.They boast and 8.8 on Hotels.com but I don't see it
