    Exceptional

    Very welcoming staff showing us some of the details of hotel and where to eat recommendations. Lovely ambience throughout hotel. This would be a lovely place for a family reunion. There are places to sit around and visit and the second floor was very quaint. The ambience of hotel was nice to reflect on this amazing architecture Close to lots of places to eat, we left early to get on road so we did not use the restaurant. I highly recommend this hotel. Nothing

    I was here for a high school reunion and staying at the Historic Park Inn Hotel provided a perfect environment to relax and to meet friends! Thank you!

    It’s a treat to stay at this restored Frank Lloyd Wright hotel. The community of Mason City show justified pride in saving and maintaining this gem. Sit in the lobby, enjoy drinks and a pool game in the lounge and soak in the atmosphere. Mason City has a number of additional attractions worth a visit.

    Only hotel remaining in the world Frank Lloyd Wright designed. They preserved the historic hotel beautifully with tasteful updates. No breakfast opportunity on site

    We were assigned to the worst room initially. A large turbine which was very loud just outside our room. Then when we requested a different room we had to take one with a queen bed rather than a king which we booked. I had called two days prior to our arrival and asked if the TNF game would be on in the bar. They told me yes for sure so I invited friends over who are locals. Then was informed they didn’t have prime so they wouldn’t have the game on. The hotel is tired and dirty. Stains all over the carpeting. A weeks worth of prescription drugs from a previous customer was on the floor next to our bed. How could the maid miss that…answer, they never vacuumed. The history and FLW style throughout the hotel is cool but it’s starting to get tired they are not keeping ahead of it. The bartender in the draftsman lounge downstairs was great. She did what she could to accommodate us but like she said she’s just the bartender. The shower area is tiny and the bathroom floor was sticky. You can hear your neighbors talking and the floor creaking. Other than all that it was great!

    Just taking in the architecture was the highlight

    Mason city was closed on the Sunday that we were there, a disappointing place. Not the hotels fault, but we would not return.

    Superb

    The building itself

    We had a wonderful meal at the Hotel Restaurant. It was someone's birthday and they had a whole cake we could purchase for a very reasonable price. The Hotel has all sorts of fascinating gathering spots.

    A fascinating Frank Lloyd Wright designed hotel, staff was great, lounge drinks and restaurant meals were excellent! It is for the grown ups and FLW afficionados. Really great time! Nothing comes to mind.

    Staff is nice! Hotel is cozy and lovely

    Water pressure in shower was weak.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    This is a beautiful hotel. However, the room was dirty, dusty, bathroom was dirty from previous guest (additional hairs so to speak). And if you run hot or need air conditioning, this is not the place for you to stay. Set the air down to 62 and the hottest the room still got was 76 degrees. We didnt stay much in the room anyway, but after a full day and too late to do anything and really no sleep we left at 5am. Never again will I stay there..

    The Park Inn is really a special place. Just loved everything.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building so what a treat to see the design and actually stay. The bar food was not very good.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Unique experience and beautiful FLW hotel. The restaurant, The Leadlight, was excellent. We would definitely stay again.

    We will stay there again.
