The great thing about this hotel is that you don’t have to be an architectural enthusiast or fan of FLW to enjoy it. I was with 3 others who weren’t as much as I was and they still thought it was neat. I booked 2 rooms, both kings, one facing the park and one facing the back of a building as there was only one park facing one left when I booked. Both rooms were very roomy, much larger than I thought. They had all the modern conveniences even more than other hotels I have stayed at. Best part, radiant heated floors as we visited in November. Want those in my house even though I live in TX!  There wasn’t much to do around the hotel, and most everything was closed early. The restaurant was closed when we were staying there so finding dinner was a bit challenging.  Would definitely stay again if I was in the area visiting.

Not Just for FLW Enthusiasts

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this beautifully restored hotel is a must-stay for architecture fans. Our room was small-ish (the most affordable in the hotel), but the hotel itself is true wonder. Good location right downtown Mason City, although things are pretty sleepy in this small town if it's not a weekend. This is a must visit hotel for tourists and also a great place to stay overnight. Affordable prices considering the high profile architect (probably due to the fact that this is Mason City, which is not exactly a major destination). Convenient nearby parking.  Highly recommended.

Great Frank Lloyd Wright hotel

My wife and I are big Frank Lloyd Wright fans, having visited over a dozen properties, so when we decided to tour Iowa we jumped at the opportunity to stay at the only FLW hotel.  The building is truly wonderful, as its been completely restored to the FLW design including the horizontal lines and forced ceilings. We highly recommend signing up for the one-hour hotel tour to enhance your stay.  You wouldn't want rooms to resemble typical chains; our king size room stayed within the FLW mantra, with some trade-offs.  While we had a refrigerator there was no microwave, the shower stall was small (but we included it in with the experience), and our floor had a slight slant - again part of the charm?  The restaurant was exceptional, but there is no breakfast service and is closed on Sunday & Monday evenings.  The staff was  terrific and the hotel has its own parking lot.  Quite an experience.  

A must stay for FLW fans; for all others it's a must stay!

The common spaces are very well done.  Bar and restaurant on main floor very up-scale and true to period.  Bar downstairs very quaint, although I only visited briefly (servers were too busy trying to work out how to split a bill at a table to even look at me sitting at the bar).  Great location, with many restaurants within walking distance.  However, NO BREAKFAST.  Just some store-bought packages muffins and fruit and coffee.  The room (#204) was a corner room.  Very small.  The hallway was also small as if built for small people. Little room between the desk and the bed to sit in a chair.  No place for a coffee maker other than inside the chifforobe (see picture).  The bathroom was odd, with no mirror over the sink.  A window was there so once needs to turn and use the mirrors to the sides when shaving,

Tiny, Oddly Appointed Room in a Great Location

My husband and I just spent last weekend in this lovely hotel.  I’m a huge fan of Frank Lloyd Wright and the restoration is exceptional.
Our room was so very pleasant.  The cleanliness of the room and spacious bathroom with thick cozy towels did not disappoint.  The inviting bedding and linens with multiple pillows just added to the comfort level. 
The staff,  wonderful food in the restaurant and entire facility of this historical hotel is a true jewel!  We were there  October 16-17, 2022

Exceptional Hotel

My wife and I stayed here on a recent driving tour of the midwest.   We are fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, and staying at the only surviving FLW hotel was a treat. It has had a complete and true refurbishing and is simply lovely.  The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the location is superb. The on-site restaurants and bar were also good.  I would happily come back for another stay.  In fact, I wish we could do it real soon.

Lovely and Historical Property

This is a beyond beautiful and interesting place.  It's fun to find your way around, up and down the various staircases.  There are beautiful sitting areas, including an outside balcony.  It was such a refreshing change from the big, box hotels, plus it's a Frank Lloyd Wright design, so it's just cool.  Our bathroom was very big.  The room and decor was comfortable and warm.  The room was also clean and well-appointed with all the amenities. The people were delightful.  The only ding is the restaurant/food options on sight.  The night we stayed there was a limited dining menu, and then they didn't have much of what was on that.  The available breakfast was coffee, packaged muffins and fruit.  But the ambiance makes the place and is worth it just for that.

So Interesting And What A Change From The Box Hotels

What you’d expect from a renovated historic hotel with lots of architectural appeal. Brand new flat screen TV in your room. Peleton exercise bike in exercise room. Fantastic and friendly staff. Definitely worth the stay and right in the center of town.

Friendly Historic Mason City Hotel

The hotel has been beautifully restored and the staff are amazing! We had a great view of the town square and our room was five star comfortable!  We also had dinner in the Wine Cellar which was unbeatable!
There was plenty to do over the Memorial Day weekend with a parade on Saturday and Bandfest throughout the weekend!

Five star comfort and staff!  What a beautiful restoration!

Where to begin?  The history of the hotel alone warrants a high review.  But it is much more than that.  The hotel has a really cool vibe and you can see Wright's touches everywhere you look.  Rooms are small but comfortable, modern and clean.  The staff ate great!  I did not get the man's name who checked us in, but he could not have been nicer.  He gave us a quick history lesson, which was great!  Would like to visit again.
