An Unfortunate Google Review About Bathrooms In Stillwater

Often when you are unfamiliar with someplace, you'll grab your phone, head to Google, and look for reviews, things to do, etc. For those heading to Stillwater, MN, and taking to Google for reviews, this one left on the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce page has me shaking my head.

The review, which is found under the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce reviews, deals with the lack of public bathrooms, or the perceived lack of public bathrooms in downtown Stillwater.

The review, which gave the Chamber a 1-star review, was left after the user couldn't find a bathroom for their wife, which led to a very unfortunate incident.

Stillwater MN the Unfriendly Town!---Parked in the center of Town, wife had to use the Ladies room we walked to the nice brick building and found LOCKED NUMBER PAD DOORS! asked people in area how to get the code to use facilities...no one knows!!...went to Gas station sign on door NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS...we finally found satellite near river...TOO LATE!!... Wife wet pants...we went home.

The response from the Stillwater Chamber was very apologetic but let the writer know that the chamber doesn't control bathrooms in town.

Hi ******! I just responded to your Google review. I am extremely sorry that this happened to you and your wife today. Unfortunately, the chamber has nothing to do / or control with the bathrooms in town but I did reach out to our city public works director immediately. We are also not the tourism entity for this community. Our mission is to serve promote an advocate for our local businesses while enriching the life of our community. On behalf of the city of Stillwater I apologize for this experience.

Hey, when you gotta go ya gotta go.
