  "Worth a detour but skip the breakfast"
  "Delightful, interesting, cozy hotel. Lots of little nooks to explore. Beautifully decorated. We chose to splurge a little and took a suite facing town square. We could hear people on the street early in the evening ( not bad or rowdy by any means) but by bedtime it was quiet. You can hear the train ..."whistle at night, and it reminded me of the scene in Music Man when the salesman has to leave. My only complaint is the included breakfast, which consisted of packaged bread and muffins (yech), yogurt and hard boiled eggs packaged in individual baggies.

  "A Renovation that Wows"
  "In 1910, a building to house a bank, offices for attorneys, and housing for those attorneys was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Now renovated to a stunning truthfulness better suited to the 21st Century, the former bank is a lovely banquet area, the offices and housing spaces now serve as hotel room..."s. The space is comfortable and the detail is spectacular. For those interested in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright or in architecture, staying in this space is delightful. For those interested in the geometric designs and colors of the period, a visual feast. Worth the drive to Mason City. " More >
