The property was awesome and our room was very comfortable. Praise to the city and chamber of commerce for restoring this beautiful hotel. I was surprised at all the comfortable sitting and common areas that the guest can use.

Well, the building is amazing. It's remarkable this place is standing, and the restoration is nothing short of a miracle. The building is over 100 years old, and with that comes some things that could dissuade you from staying, but perhaps not. Noises are everywhere. You can hear people above you and in the halls perfectly. We were woken at 2 am by someone stomping around above us. Our phone randomly rang around 7 am, and when picked up it just beeped. The shower handle was loose and make getting hot water and turning it off a bit difficult. When we checked out it was literally like we were offending her. No thanks for the stay, how was your visit? Nothing. The restaurant is not good. On a Saturday night there were 3 groups of 2 people..they came in separately. So at one point is was just us in there. The staff stood by watching us, while we ate. We asked for a cocktail but it was the worst thing ever and sent it back. No alcohol was in it. We heard the manager tell the new server how to make it and said, "yeah we've never been able to get that (ingredient) so just..skip it" As soon as we set down she asked if we were ready to order. We hadn't even looked yet! The other server asked the other couple the same thing. They just literally sat down! The training in there seems to be nonexistent and not up to the level this place wants to be. Meanwhile restaurants around the corner were packed! Go to them! Staffing needs a ton of training in hotel and restaurant. No need to return

So many nooks & crannies to explore, relax, read, chat. Absolutely loved the two outdoor balconies, especially in our gorgeous Labor Day weekend weather! The room, temp & esp bed were all so comfortable! All staff was wonderful and truly cared. A few things that would make this ideal, a vending machine, water fountain or water dispenser on property. I used the bagged ice to melt into water but it tasted like freezer burn. No stores close by to walk and get drinks/snacks. We did find a pitcher of water night two. A hot tub would be a wonderful addition too! Both restaurants had small menus but delicious food, reasonable prices. Great wine at Lead Light. I hoped to try the pear salad but was not allowed to withhold the blue cheese so I ordered the Beet Tartar. I was served the Beef & Mushrooms, which was still good but much heavier than what I had planned/ordered so I saved about 70% for lunch. Nice to have a free dessert as a hotel guest. Fun gift shop with a good variety and knowledgeable clerk. Would be nice to offer a little discount at gift shop for hotel guests? So glad the committee selvaged/saved this beautiful Historic Park Inn!

Park Inn is the last living breathing example of a hotel by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was a great piece of history. Take the tour.

The bartender was not very friendly and seemed annoyed people showed up at 9:30. The bar closed at 10:00 and two drinks (vodka/water & jack/coke) cost 28.00. The door to our room was very hard to open and close (assume swollen from humidity). Had to put whole body into it.

This hotel and the whole town of Mason City was a happy surprise. The property has been beautifully, painstakingly maintained/restored with nearly every detail impeccably Frank Lloyd Wright. (that also means there are fewer outlets, etc. than you'd expect in a modern build.) Bed was comfy, staff was very accommodating, good dining options within walking distance, nice balcony overlooking the park, so bring a bottle of wine. Kudos to the folks who made this such a great and authentic-feeling experience. My only suggestion; they needed to wash the windows. (FLW would have wanted maximum light coming into the rooms.)
