Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): -
- Lauren (6/5): It was a decent stay, but for the price, I was disappointed. - The facilities were nice. I booked two queen beds but was given a king. No free continental breakfast, I had to pay extra. Parking was difficult and inconvenient. Our Kleenex box was empty when we arrived.
- friekert (10/5): Lovely hotel in a quaint river town - Our stay at The Merrill was delightful. It is an elegant hotel with a beautiful view of the Mississippi River. We were greeted by friendly and efficient staff who offered us, as Titanium Marriott members, welcome gifts and a $32 credit toward breakfast. In addition we had access to free snacks from the 5th floor pantry. The room was comfortable and nicely appointed. Parking is free and baggage handling is self-service at curbside. Dinner at Maxwell’s was delicious (especially the strawberry salad) and service was perfect. My husband and I try to stop here at least once on every road trip. Of the many places we have stayed, The Merrill is our favorite!
- luannmoth (2/5): We were really looking forward to our weekend here. We ended up driving back home. - We had been planning a weekend trip to the Merrill Hotel in Muscatine for my birthday and Valentine weekend. We had the "romance" package which includes $40.00 brunch for two and $75 food and beverage for dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant has great reviews and the menu sounded wonderful. We got to the Merrill House about 3:30 today, and got a packet with our beverage/meal credit for the restaurant for dinner and brunch. The two women that checked us in, Emma and Kelsie, said to make our Valentine's dinner reservations soon. We went to our room and talked about time and looked over the menu. About 5-10 minutes later, we came back, saw them, and were ready to reserve for dinner Friday, brunch and dinner Saturday, and brunch Sunday. We had purchased the package that gave us this credit on meals. They called the restaurant but they were completely booked Valentine's dinner. They were also not taking reservations anytime for brunch on Saturday. They did say we could have a reduction in room rate paid (although not as much as our credits were for). We told them to please make a reservation for Friday night. Again, they called the restaurant and said they were completely booked for the entire evening. Come on! We paid for this package and reserved six months ago! My husband and I looked at each other and said we were upset at how we could use NONE of our credit. We wanted to just go home (about three hours away). They told us they would cancel our room. We got our things, and by 4:30 or so we were on our way home. They said that they had no control over the restaurant (which is located right in their lobby area) and that it was run independently. How can you have it run independently and offer "romance" packages that include credits for the restaurant? When we were ready to leave, they suddenly said we could eat there Friday night, but still not anytime Saturday. This is a terrible way to run a hotel. It is a beautiful building, but I would never ever stay there again. They promised things they knew they couldn't deliver. If they had let us know, we would have never made the three hour trip today. If reservations were a problem, they had both our cell phone numbers. This was a mess!
- monica (10/5): Fantastic hotel in every category!! - Staff was so accommodating and friendly! The location was ideal! Very classy decor!
- Katarina (10/5): Exceptional - The breakfast was absolutely phenomenal! I had the country fried steak and let me just tell you, it was definitely the BEST ONE! Nothing, it was all exceptional
- Lisa (10/5): We had excellent experience. - Beautiful! We went when the lobby was decorated for Christmas. Nothing
- kathybC6135KN (10/5): Wonderful - Shae was excellent in getting us checked in and making sure our Marriot Bon Voy perks were added. Facility is beautiful. Location is great. Food was outstanding for supper and brunch.
- Scenic61178989982 (10/5): Great experience - Great quiet room with a river view. Food at Maxwells on the River was incredible!! All the staff that we encountered were so nice as well. Heated pool was a big hit with the kids
- Ruben (10/5): -
- jorgesX4689DP (10/5): A good place to stay in the pear city - The hotel service is excellent, Anna in the restaurant and Shae in the front desk. They always try to make you feel valued.
- 1ErnestA (10/5): Outstanding Staff and Hotel - I’ve been wanting to bring my wife to this hotel for the longest time and finally was able to. We arrived on Friday November 28, 2025 just before a major snowstorm hit the Midwest. Driving up to the main hotel entrance was very convenient. The lobby was very elegant with Christmas decorations and a tree as well as the dining area and the bar. I can’t say enough kind words for all the hotel staff as well as our server for breakfast, which was absolutely fantastic. Parking was convenient with either garage parking (but you have to get there early enough as spots were limited) or plenty of parking in outdoor lots. Our room was a King with a view of the Mississippi River. Rooms are very clean and decorated very nicely. The only downside with this type room was the bathroom counter which we felt was a little too small as well as only half door to the shower (burr!). Waking up the next morning after the snowfall over night was a breathtaking view of the riverfront and the fesh fallen snow covered trees on the Illinois side of the river. Other than that The Merrill Hotel has my highest recommendation to stay here. My wife is hard to please and has excellent taste when it comes to hotels and she definitely wants to come back here and stay in the Chairman Suite.
- GoPlaces277397 (10/5): Anna at Maxwells restaurant was very professional, attentive, and kind. We enjoyed our breakfast/service. - Anna was our server at Maxwells restaurant. Anns was sweet, professional, and attentive. Every employee acknowledged us.
- colincH7742NL (10/5): Merrill makes Muscatine Great - Great hotel with wonderful amenities and even better people. I’d like to call out Mackenzie at the bar in particular. She’s just a wonderful person-made me feel right at home.
- 444Momma (10/5): Beautiful property that’s a great value - Stayed her for one night with my teen daughter. As a mom traveling alone with a teen I felt very safe. Parking was close and well lit. There was no valet on duty. Emma at the front desk made check-in easy. I was able to stay parked in front of the hotel until my daughter was settled into our room with our belongings. A huge plus since we were traveling with her giant upright double bass. We didn’t realize there is a football game in Iowa City tomorrow until we tried booking a last-minute hotel room. This has been a lovely detour on our little trip up from St Louis. Beautiful hotel. Room appears to be updated. It’s got the Marriott fresh smell and crisp bedding. Bonus: smart tv thank goodness. I’m still shocked many properties don’t have them. I need my Netflix and forgot the streaming stick I usually carry “just in case”. My only silly complaint is that the hotel dinner menu doesn’t have pizza or fries for the teen. There are plenty of places to dine close by, and the hotel dining looks lovely if you have a more refined palate… lol. Marriott status was recognized with multiple options of welcome gifts. I think I currently only have gold status but we had the option for nicer perks than you typically get with gold status. It was reminiscent of my platinum days before I became a hermit. Probably the best “value” for a nice Marriott property ever.
- Jessica (10/5): Great stay and would definitely book here again. - Clean, modern, and comfortable. Getting food at the restaurant took longer than expected.
- Alexis (10/5): -
- Leo (9/5): - Breakfast was very good, the waitress was very good The chair in the room was not comfortable
- 932veng (10/5): Worth your money - Excellent hotel, very clean, nice restaurant, awesome staff. Our stay was just for a night and we had great time. Will come to this place for sure.
- Larry (10/5): -
- michaelcU7646FP (8/5): 4-star - The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. The hotel, in general was very clean and well kept. Our only hiccup was the shower. The water wouldn't drain properly so while taking a shower, the tub was filling with water. Also, there isn't a full shower door or curtain so the bathroom walls and floor get wet while you are showering. We thought it was just our room that there was only half a shower door but when we called down to the front desk, they said all the rooms are like that and they get complaints about it. They did offer to switch us to a different room because of the drain issue but we were already settled in for the night and didn't want to move. We appreciated the suggestion.
- louiseaS9342GA (10/5): Will Definitely Return! - My first trip to Iowa and The Merrill did not disappoint!! Muscatine is a must-see gem, with a ton of history and charm. Don’t miss this pearl of the US!
- N613UNashleyc (10/5): Absolutely stunning and amazing service. - The hotel was fresh, clean and beautiful. The entire bar and customer service staff were attentive, kind and helpful. I normally stay in Davenport, but I will absolutely be back here next time instead. The location along the river is perfect.
- laurenaY125NA (10/5): Best hotel in Muscatine - Great boutique hotel, right on the River. Great views from multiple areas of the hotel. Large, well equipped gym. Nice restaurant and bar with excellent food. Rooms were on the smaller side, but were very clean, quiet and comfortable. Well stocked mini bar and snacks. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when traveling to the Quad City area.
- charlesdh2025 (10/5): Amazing Visit - Wonderful location on the Mississippi River. Gracious staff. Wonderful food. I could not have been treated better there

- A2389YKallisonw (10/5): Can't wait to go back! - From check-in to check-out, our stay was relaxing and the hotel is luxurious! Staff were wonderful! Our breakfast at the hotel's restaurant was sooo delicious!
- Dennis (10/5): - Great Hotel. The restaurant, Maxwell's was very good.
- AlanGarfield (10/5): Gracious hospitality - An ideal example of gracious hospitality. Perfect room and restaurant. And Kandi (the waitress) was a wealth of knowledge. We ate and got (a verbal history) at the same time.
- sarah (6/5): Comfortable and quick - Beautiful, central location, staff was helpful and very professional, very clean N/A

- Getaway64928562703 (10/5): Better than Home - I feel like home here except the bed and pillows are better! Rooms super clean, staff are responsible and friendly. I've only had breakfast here but super top notch.
- Mattixtravelers (10/5): Beautiful souls at this hotel - When we first got there, Shae greeted us at the front desk. We have traveled a lot but we must say that Shae left an imprint! She is personable, kind and went out of her way to ensure that everything for us was cared for. She is a good soul and overall lovely person. We are glad to have met her and actually have thought about her goodness and kindness ever since leaving. We need more people like her in this hustle-bustle world.
- Randy (10/5): - Great place!
- 900rhondao (10/5): Outstanding employee!! - Our Front desk service was outstanding ! Shae was extremely professional , personable and very respectful with our Bereavement she made the stay for my family very special. Merrill is very lucky to have such an employee. The hotel itself is stunning! I what a great asset to the city of Muscatine.
- AshutoshM283 (10/5): Matter does not matter...Spirit Does! - Amenities are all good....as per industry standard so nothing to speak about there but staff has been a differentiator. They are very courteous and sensitive to client with right attitude to serve. So huge shout out to each and every staff member I encountered with!!!
- Larry (10/5): - as expected
- John (8/5): - The location and amenities were a good match for our needs. Dinner was great, but breakfast wasn’t as good and could benefit from some attention. Weekend pricing a little high for the value.
- Carrie (10/5): - Room & bathroom clean, river view was beautiful. We'd stay here again.
- Brooklyn (10/5): - Beautiful and clean.
- Shuanlarry (10/5): - It was a great experience, Muscatine is so pretty and the river view in front of the hotel is beautiful.
- Brian (8/5): - Very nice hotel, very clean. Shower was not great. It is a regular bathtub / shower combo however, there is no door. Just a small glass partition. Water goes everywhere onto the bathroom floor. Price was not great. Way too expensive for the area. we had a small gathering in the outdoor area in the evening. We had our own alcohol and was told by the bar manager we either had to leave or purchase their alcohol to stay. We choose to leave. Anyway, nice, clean place but way too expensive for this area. I will prob look at other options on my next trip.

- deboracU3134ZK (10/5): Great Experience! Highly recommend! - Fantastic experience! Room was spacious, clean, well appointed, and comfortable with a bed that you can just sink into. Staff were professional, friendly, and accommodating. Mississippi Ballroom overlooks, surprisingly, the Mississippi River and has a balcony with tables and chairs for comfortable lounging and viewing. Power bowl from the restaurant was freshly prepared & tasty! It's hard to find a really healthy option, but the roasted broccoli, brown rice, grilled chicken, and sriracha sauce made a tasty combo. Great experience overall!
- Chris (6/5): Pleasant - Location, staff were friendly Cleanliness, housekeeping was negligent. Our room ran out of shampoo and body wash, we asked to have them filled for ever 2 days. The cleaning team didn’t make the bed rather just pulled up the cover and left it. They left dirty cups in the room. When we spoke about it with reception team they told us they were busy and that’s why the room couldn’t be cleaned properly. This really let down the experience of everything else in the hotel
- Cantrell (8/5): Absolutely beautiful and comfortable. great location - Location was perfect. Bed was super comfy. Shower was beautiful No fan in the bathroom. Couldn’t use the fridge because it was stocked with things for sale. Didn’t like that the shower door didn’t close. It made a mess in the floor.
- Ronald (10/5): - Just the best experience we had this year
- Rayburn (9/5): Superb -
- Ricky (10/5): - Excellent
- Julie (10/5): - The Merrill is very close to plenty of great restaurants and fun pubs. Totally recommend

- Kelsie (1/5): Bad -
- Yvonne (10/5): - Very nice rooms, great staff
- peterkE8116PQ (10/5): Great overnight stay - We came to town for a dinner with old friends and had a wonderful experience. The staff at every interaction we had was helpful and friendly. From Taylor at the front desk to the bartender, the waitresses at our private dinner upstairs , and Kandi, our waitress at breakfast. The food was great and my wife also loved her swim in the salt water pool . The Merrill is a wonderful place.
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional -
- dianalcampbell (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful, modern, many amenites made this a very special stay! - The Junior Suite view was so beautiful, open and the all around windows are a next level perk, I loved it, will definitely stay here over and over and over again I have never stayed in a hotel in IOWA before so I was not sure what to expect I was not only pleasantly surprised by the view, room and amenities, but Nick on the night crew helped me and was so kind and caring, Ms Kandi at breakfast was attentive, intentionally provided all my needs, so efficient, clean and helpful; and they BOTH treated me like Royalty...Truly a WONDERFUL, one of a kind experience, it was a blessing to stay at this hotel!
- uncvcutraveller (10/5): Best hotel in Muscatine - It was an interesting ride from Iowa City to Muscatine. It was blowing snow until reaching Muscatine. Then it stopped and the temperature rose 5 degrees. There is a garage to park but you would enter through the restaurant. I had a good room and a great view of the MS River. I had a voucher for breakfast at Maxwell. The food was tasty and HUGE. There is a pantry for snacks for eligible members but it's not a real sit down separate room. Would definitely go back.
- 662beccas (10/5): Amazing service!!! Darin Oeter - Darin Oeter was the best. I have an annoying mold allergy and he walked about 5 rooms with me past midnight to make sure I found the right room. He also carried all of my hanger clothes as I had already unpacked and made my life so much easier all with a positive attitude and big smile on his face. Darin is a real gem and it’s rare to find someone like him these days! Thank you so much Darin!!! You made my night! Can’t wait to come back and visit ❤️
- Judi (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynn (10/5): Great location and great staff! Soft jazz music at breakfast, very relaxing. - The location was perfect for us! NA
- Janelle (6/5): - The staff was pretty good except for one sarcastic waitress. A hotel's staff is only as good as its weakest link and why would the most expensive hotel in town employ someone unable or unwilling to work with all types of guests?
- Honie (10/5): - Really nice room, restaurant, and area around the hotel. 10/10 - will stay there again.
- dugoutrat (10/5): Great stay! - Stayed a couple nights for business. Great location and river views. Room was nice. Hotel seemed busy but was super quiet in room. Train goes between hotel and river but that was even surprisingly quiet. Gym was nice and big with plenty of cardio but could use some more benches. Plenty of space to add them. Pool is a nice indoor lap pool. Had problems with key cards whole stay both the traditional hard cards and mobile ones. Staff did their best to make up for it and was appreciated. Had breakfast in restaurant and it was good, price was reasonable. Entire hotel staff from front desk to restaurant to maintenance- absolutely everyone was so nice and welcoming.
- Mary Ann (10/5): - River view, close easy parking, easy to find
- Jill (9/5): Will definitely stay here again. - Location is great, staff was super helpful and friendly. We were able to check in early, which was extremely helpful. Great room, very clean and comfortable!
- Jaime (10/5): Perfect. - Location is perfect and in walking distance of so many bars/restaurants to visit. Breakfast in the hotel was delicious and reasonably priced for the portions. Nothing.
- Juan (6/5): - Hotel was good I only had a bad experience in there
- Paul (9/5): Great downtown hotel! - Great riverfront location! Walk to everything! Loved the Button Museum, free and worth it, 1 block away Nothing,
- Shirley (10/5): - Nice
- Robert (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Experience - We’ve stayed here twice now and it’s been a great experience both times. The rooms are clean, as is the rest of the hotel, and the staff is friendly and professional too. I recommend getting a room with the river view!
- scottaG6899OT (10/5): Excellent Stay - The Merrill is one of the nicest hotels we’ve recently stayed at that’s a Marriott associated property. It’s steps away from the Mississippi River and our room was facing the river, Awesome view. The entire hotel is very clean and well kept. The staff is cordial, welcoming, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Their onsite restaurant has excellent food, but pricier. There are other fine restaurants within walking distance. Self parking is available and a plus.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Emilio (6/5): - The room was clean, the property is very modern and elegant. However we had requested a river view, and we got an alley view with notification. The windows of the building across the alley were so close that we kept our windows closed the whole time. We didn’t feel comfortable with having strangers look into our window. Plus, the view was very unpleasant. I really was looking forward to the river view, and just wish we would have been informed. I would stay here again but ai would not pay extra for the river view
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lori (9/5): Superb - Dinner was excellent. The salmon was different enough but no too unusual.
- Yvonne (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Manuel (10/5): - Great place. Super clean. Great dining
- Lori (8/5): - Stayed here for the 2nd time to attend a family event. Love the river view and the upscale feel in a small city.
- Dennis (8/5): Hairy situation - Walked into room and found a dirty hairbrush within the bathroom. Not ideal when paying $250+ dollars a night.
- Dermot (10/5): - Excellent hotel, interesting restaurant, in a wonderful location. A do again.
- Margaret (10/5): - This is a charming hotel right on the Mississippi River. This beautifully decorated, clean, bright hotel is staffed by pleasant and helpful staff. We loved walking around the area seeing fun bars and restaurants, cute shops, and the largest watermelon. The food at their restaurant was priced well and delicious. We highly recommend!!
- T7067GUjeank (10/5): Worth a visit!! - Beautiful hotel along the Mississippi River. It’s definitely worth a trip here to stay. Food, rooms, drinks and appetizers were excellent!! It’s a higher end hotel but worth the price!! It’s location makes it so you can walk to many things in the area.
- Heather (10/5): - The Riverview room is worth the extra money! The hotel was more than wonderful, clean, beautiful facility. We were impressed.
- Sunshine55953614297 (10/5): Great stay along Mississippi River - Very clean and nice hotel. Lots of bars and places to eat within walking distance. Beautiful view if you get a river view room. Playground across street. Parking at Riverfront if you have a truck and trailer. Staff was very nice and will give very good recommendations.
- lynnbU9451QE (10/5): Beautiful Hotel - What a beautiful hotel! It had old world charm while being updated for comfort. The rooms were clean, the dining area was really nice with views of the Mississipi river. The staff was friendly and professional. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back!
