A gem that should always be pristine!
The Historic Park Inn is a national gem. The room (222) was very clean and well cared for by staff. I was disappointed that there was 1. water damage in the wall in the hallway near my room.2. that the elevator rug was dirty (more than a vacuum can pick up) & 3. that so many tiles on first floor are damaged. A national gem should be pristine. Call on patrons for funding to make a gem in top condition.

Fun place to stay for the architecture. Everything closes very early, but that may just be Mason City in general.

I loved that it was the "off" season and that there wasn't a lot of people staying there. Also, the gift shop is amazing.

Beautiful Hotel
We loved the hotel! Our room was cozy and it had a very comfortable bed. We love the FLW prairie style and all the nooks and crannies around the hotel. The Leadlight Restaurant was also very good! Thanks for the hospitality!

Such a unique and beautiful stay. We stayed 2 nights, had a wonderful time in the general area. The hotel tour was informative and worth the fee. The nearby Praise church, we visited, was within walking distance and a nice plus. There were a couple restaurants just around the corner within walking distance that were closed that we missed out on, but were highly recommended. I would definitely recommend this hotel. One slight bummer was no mini fridge or microwave available or in the room, there had been a coffee maker in the lobby, but that was out of order as well, Id still stay again, just would plan accordingly.

The Park Inn is a unique property. We stayed here when it first opened. The rooms feel like the could use a freshening. The historic hotel is one that needs preserved for future enjoyment.

No Trouble in River City
We're Frank Lloyd Wright fans, so we enjoyed viewing the building features. You expect some minor inconveniences when you know the history of the building. Mason City has done a great job of making a downtown stay enjoyable.
