We spent three nights at the Willard Rchards Inn this week. We had a wonderful experience! This inn is a part of historic Nauvoo. We loved our room and the detached bathroom. ( It added to the ambiance.) The breakfasts were amazing every morning. The innkeeper did a wonderful job and shared with us the special history of the home. She did lots of little things for us to make our stay even better.

We loved our stay at the Willard Richards Inn. This was the perfect place to stay because so much was walkable in Old Nauvoo. Not only was the Inn historic the breakfasts were wonderful as was the innkeeper. There aren’t a lot of food options in Nauvoo but that huge breakfast held us until dinner! Also- we appreciated the complimentary sodas and waters. We will definitely book here again on our next stay.

The Inn was just what we were looking for. It was a historical home with lots of character. We loved gathering with the rest of our party in the parlor and loved the homemade breakfast each morning. The only draw backs were the stairs because we don't do stairs we'll. And not having the bathroom attached to the room.

Inside the Inn was fine. We felt that being a historical place, the owner would have kept the site in good repair. It was in great need of repainting to the columns on the porch, shutters, door entries etc. There were SO many dead bugs, flies & cobwebs on the windows, doors & bbq grill, you hated to touch the door knob to let yourself in. Inside, it had been nicely redone with period appropriate furnishings & artifacts. Our room was nice & clean. However, the mattress was in great need of being replaced as it felt as old as the Inn itself. Our hostess was very kind & sweet. For the fees they charge each guest, the owner of the property needs to take some pride in this beautiful property & clean it up & fix it up to what it’s deserving of.
