The Aurora Staples Inn is a fantastic B&B, one of the best. The accommodations in the St. Croix Suite is spectacular, with antique furniture, in room fireplace, huge suite space, and amazing linens and decor. We appreciate the hassle-free checkin, host greeting, and the ease of parking and location to downtown. We will stay here every time we visit Stillwater.

Aurora Staples was very quaint, with beautifully preserved Victorian architecture. It was clean and quiet, and within walking distance to restaurants and shops downtown. Rachelle was a wonderful and accommodating hostess. My husband and I would definitely stay there again.

The mattress in our room was soft and lumpy. We both experienced back pain after sleeping on it. The owners were very nice and responsive, the house is beautiful and beautifully decorated and furnished, the other guests were very friendly, parking was easy, and you could easily walk downtown. If they can fix the mattress issue, they would get a 5 star rating from us.
