This is the only place I stay at in Mason City. Each room is a little different (my favorite layouts are the odd number rooms on the second floor) The rooms are big enough to walk around and have a few suitcases. You can walk to get any meal or drink. Parking is super easy and in front or along side the hotel. The staff are always nice and willing to help. I love the history and design.

An excellent historical hotel. I was thinking it would be old or need updating, but not the case at all! It was in outstanding shape. The property is beautiful with many shared spaces that aficionados of architecture will appreciate. Rooms have been modernized and are extremely clean and well maintained. The restaurant is excellent as well. Unfortunately, Mason City is a bit of a sleepy town with limited dining options, but there are many historic sites to explore. The hotel restaurant only had 2 people working and the bar was closed due to lack of available employees to work that evening. I still highly recommend this as a weekend getaway.
