Calming, Chic Space w/ Natural Light- Owl Suite

good parking

Directions and entry codes were perfect as the location on Main Street!! Thank you.

It is a perfect location to stay at for the shopping and the restaurants and bars. We definitely needed more wash cloths and towels but overall, it was very nice.

The place was great, we only had 2 towels and there were fights and a lot of noise until 2 am

The place was super clean and as described. It was right in the middle of everything which was great for daytime activities. Shopping and restaurants were fantastic. Great place, across the street, for brunch. The bars at night though were VERY noisy which was so unexpected. The noise lasted until 1-2am.

Check in was super easy and the property was perfect!!

I have struggled with determining my rating of the Opulent Owl at the Divine Otter. First, let me say the space is beautiful both inside and out. It was true to the pictures online, clean, well appointed, and the hosts were excellent and prompt in their communication. Secondly, my wife and I booked this for a quiet weekend away. We have stayed on the opposite end of Main Street in St. Charles several times and were looking for a quiet relaxing weekend. When we arrived we parked out back, walked up the alley, and entered from the street side, which was easy. Once we set everything down we realized the door from the rear of the building leads into a hallway that opens into the bedroom. It is the main point of entry for the other residents. What we found was that you can hear everything from the hall in the bedroom and vice-versus. It is a small hotel so it wasn't too bothersome.We expected some street noise based on the pictures of the location, but it was egregious.The location is right in the middle of lots of bars and restaurants...for better or worse. The hotel has bars on both sides of it. Between 9pm-2am there was constant music and loud drunken behavior outside which is impossible to drown out in the apartment. We contacted the hosts the next morning who were very gracious and quick to respond. I think this space may be a great spot for people looking to take advantage of the nightlife. I am sure it is quieter during a weekday or winter time.It was beautiful, but noisy

This VRBO is fairly new and has potential, but it still has a few kinks to work out. For instance, there were only two towels provided, and while the listing mentioned a futon for extra sleeping space, there were no sheets or covers for it. Basic amenities like shampoo and soap were also missing, and the shower curtain rod kept falling down.The location is excellent—just a short walk to the charming shops and restaurants of old St. Charles, and direct access to the Katy Trail for walking or biking. However, being in such a central area also meant it was quite noisy at night, with loud activity continuing until 2 a.m. on one occasion.My biggest concern, though, was safety. I arrived late at night and entered through the back entrance, only to find the door to my unit wide open—not just unlocked, but open. On another day, a UPS driver walked straight through the front door, thinking the unit was a business. Strangely, I had never unlocked the front door, and after he left, I couldn’t even get it open myself.Overall, while the location is great, the property needs some important updates and clearer security measures before I would feel comfortable staying again.

This unit is on the main floor in downtown St. Charles. Perfect location to bike Katy Trail and explore the area. Note: It can get loud at night until establishments close by close; but being downtown you have to expect.
