What guests think

Lora draws praise for its walkable downtown Stillwater location, distinctive historic design, and friendly service, with many guests enjoying comfortable, thoughtfully designed rooms that highlight original stone and brick details from the historic building.

Rooms are generally clean and well appointed. Common drawbacks include paid valet-only parking, occasional street noise, and intermittent issues like elevator outages, dim bathroom lighting, or rooms that run warm. Most diners like Feller and the coffee shop, though a few found meals or coffee underwhelming. Expect a charming, centrally located boutique stay with some tradeoffs.

This was an okay place to stay. Getting in and out of the building with luggage or bikes is a challenge as there are so many people on the patio near the doors. No electric door either or staff offering help.

Super nice boutique hotel and great location! Very clean and comfortable rooms! The only option for parking is paying $30 for valet so that is the only downside. It would be nice if there was a cheaper self park option.

This hotel had great customer service. Cold water bottles were available in the lobby, which was great. Valet service was always quick and convenient. You can walk to hundreds of places from this hotel and it is a beautiful area! The hotel rooms are nice and clean and have all the amenities you could need. Nice fire pit in the front you can sit around and chat, and a great coffee shop with delicious hot cocoa, iced coffee and hot tea! We really enjoyed our visit here.

The property is unique and has charm. However, the elevator was down the whole weekend, we received an interior room that did not feel premium ( a view of a brick wall) and dinner at the restaurant (Feller) was more experimental than cohesive which left me more disappointed than impressed.

Loved the stay. Quiet and clean. Friendly staff. Didn’t appreciate the additional, hidden charges for parking and room amenities. The coffee shop in the hotel served luke-warm coffee - instructing my wife to use the microwave to heat her coffee when asking for a hot coffee.

I honestly do not know what I enjoyed more, finding passage to the front door from their “loading area” or the satisfaction of knowing someone had already filled our Nespresso maker. I didn’t love taking a shower, only to dry off with ripped and extremely worn towels (ask me for pictures). Or that the scented necessities would make both my husband and I smell like musky lumberjacks. This hotel is trying so hard to be bougie and just flopped. There’s more but we’re over it- just would NOT recommend to anyone who asked about Stillwater. Oh and, shovel the flipping loading dock for your guests. No one should have to climb a mountain, this is MN, flipping shovel, so lazy. Also everyone except the room cleaners need to smile. Everyone standing around like it just sucked to be there.

This has been one of my favorite hotels EVER. I'd rank it top 2, my only regret is I wish I spent 2 nights instead of one. Very quaint and right at the start of Stillwater. You can walk towards the river with the bridge leading you to Wisconsin or walk right down Main Street. Staff were very nice and helpful at the front desk, attached restaurant + bar and even the little coffee shop next door. Plus, the rooms are charming and very clean and spacious. I can't wait to go back to Stillwater and this will be the hotel of choice every single time.

A good location with easy access to shopping and dining. But parking is hard to find and while they have valet parking it's expensive. There is a lot of noise from the road. The room was also extremely hot when we arrived and the AC was slow to bring the temp down.

I love the Lora and have stayed numerous times. My room this time was nice and quiet and clean. I appreciated being toward the end of a hallway too. I love the hotels location being right on the south end of town it’s walkable to everything. The only issue I had on this visit was with the thermostat. The room was set at 74 and took hot for my liking. I prefer to sleep at 68-70 degrees so because I was warm I didn’t sleep well. I tried adjusting it multiple times but the room never cooled down and only increased in temperature. Still enjoyed my stay and will return next time I need a staycation!

The Lora is a very unique property. The King room was small for the price. The restaurant associated with the hotel was excellent. I'm disappointed I booked through Expedia. There were offers available through the hotel that would have saved me $90 if I had booked directly. I'll be more careful next time.
