We stayed in a room on the second floor at the Afton House Inn for one night. It was clean, though the bathroom was a bit cramped and if we'd stayed for more than one night it would have been uncomfortable. It was a little noisy in the room in the afternoon, sounded like maybe a clothes dryer was running... More

This is a great historic hotel in a small town on the St. Croix River. The staff was especialy friendly and helpful. The room on the second floor had a nice balcony looking toward the river. Their casual restaurant was busy and had a lot of energy. The formal dining was excellent. The Swirl Wine Bar was a pleasant surprise.... More

Seocnd time we've stayed there. First time several years ago was much better all around. Used a Groupon this time for half price which is all I would pay now. Dining room food was just OK, service was sporadic. Wine bar was quite popular but VERY noisy making it hard to hold a conversation. Room TV in sitting area didn't... More

Beautfiul room on 2nd floor. Two queens size beds in different rooms! Very clean, nice furnishings. Rose petals all over the bed. View of the quaint main street. Deck access to the back with marina/river view. GREAT food. Lots of wonderful wine choices. Our 3rd time. The old part of the Inn is historic and fun to stay in as... More

Old historic hotel in a nice little river town. Our room was very nice, whirlpool and fireplace. We wandered down to the Swirl wine bar which was very enjoyable, and ate in the Current restaurant/bar which had great food and wonderful service. Would definitely return.

We did not stay there, but had family that did, and we visited them there several times over the weekend. We really enjoyed Swirl, the wine bar. Nice, casual atmosphere and good whites. Okay on the reds. We ate twice at Current and had one great experience, one very odd one. The food is good, but the second time we... More

It is not 4 star hotel, only 2 star hotel in my opinion...comparable to Motel 6. The exterior/interior of the building including furniture need lots of improvements. I did not feel relaxed like being on vacation. There is nothing to do in this tiny town and no river view either. There is only one ice creme shop, two small antique... More

Nice room with a jetted tub and gas fireplace. Some of the other rooms looked small, but there was enough room to move around in our room. My wife very much enjoyed the atmosphere and the dinner at the dining room. Fun desert with the tableside Cherries Jubilee.

Looked forward to a quaint, charming small-town-on-the-river overnight and dining experience...should have kept on driving. The unattractive and distracting placement of a not-insubstantial parking lot between the hotel and the St. Croix is exceeded only by the large earthen dike on the far side of the lot AND the tacky marina laying between the hotel and the river beyond, while...
