The Historic Park Inn Hotel

FLW themed decor and stayed true to his design features.

There was no place nearby for breakfast.

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.)

Very quaint hotel and surrounding area.

Bartender was fantastic! Food was delicious. Bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed experiencing the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.

Nothing. We really enjoyed our entire experience!

The property was

Beautiful architecture. Relaxing environment. Pleasant staff. Unique experience.

I couldn't find the entrance or best parking place. We went on a Friday so they had music going on at the shopping area right next to the hotel. I called the hotel for assistance and the lady at the front desk was very helpful and provided us with a parking pass. (We ended up being able to park at the square right in front of the beautiful building)

We loved the thoughtful restoration of this unique historic property. Every little detail was attuned to the Arts & Crafts period and reflected Frank Lloyd Wright’s aesthetic. The desk staff were friendly and helpful. We were charmed by the hotel, the central city park across the street, and the many options for entertainment and learning in Mason City. We plan to return. It’s a delightful spot for a weekend getaway.

This Inn was very fun to explore - staff expects/encourages it, since it has a lot of "hidden" areas designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is easy to get lost or turned around, but you can also find your way back pretty easily. If you are tall (over 6'2") be prepared to duck a lot! All the staff were super friendly and kind. Our room was a corner room on the second floor. Very nice to have two sets of windows, even though the view out the back was not very appealing. It was a small room, but we expected that because of it's history. The floor was a bit uneven, becasue of it's age. The bed was comfortable, with 4 pillows on the queen bed. There were outlets on both sides of the bed so we could both charge our phones overnight. However, only one side of the bed controled the lights. There was a small fridge hidden in the cabinet. While it chilled our water, it did not get very cold. The room was very quiet (except for a weird knock that the fridge gave every once in a while). There was a band playing right next to the Inn and we didn't hear it at all in our room. This Inn is very convenient to everything we came to do. In fact, we did a lot of walking because it wasn't worth driving. The town is very pedestrian friendly - there were a lot of people out on the Friday Night we were there.
