Wow! This place is modern, newly-renovated, and immaculately clean. The hallway still has that…read more"newly-renovated" smell. The decor in our room is super cute, with adorable duvets, a gorgeous orange desk chair and mirror (I'd buy both for my home, tbh), and lots of sensible storage. There are outlets for USB and USB-C charging, ample attractive lighting, and you have the option to close the opaque window shade, a sheer shade, or both. You even get your choice of a soft or firm pillow. The bathroom and mini fridge are immaculately clean. I can't recommend this place highly enough. I almost wish we were here for longer than one night, as it really is so nice. It's refreshing not to be grossed out by a hotel. The woman at the desk was friendly and efficient! I would definitely stay here again if I were passing through. I'm so impressed that I forgot to wait until morning so I can comment on breakfast. I'll do that tomorrow. After a gloriously hot shower with moderate water pressure, we're at breakfast. There is a great array of options. I'm having a banana, Oikos yogurt, and an egg white omelet (a circle of egg white and peppers folded in half--genius). My mom is eating her weight in bacon, a banana nut muffin, and a biscuit with sausage gravy. There is sausage, as well as a cheese omelet and a pancake machine. Lots of fruit, cereal, yogurt, bread/bagels, etc. If you're on Mason City, it's impossible to imagine a better option than this Holiday Inn Express. Found the flaw: Fox News on the breakfast room tv. :(

The people working the front desk weren't the friendliest. As for the room it was freezing cold. Which is why maintenance had to come to my room. Drainage in the sink was horrible. It took the least amount of water to drain forever. I liked the fact that there is a Bennigan's Restaurant attached to the hotel. Which serves some pretty good food. So the three stars is for housekeeping, maintenance and the Bennigan's that is attached to this particular Best Western.

Not a sorry, no credit, no thank you for understanding... nothing.

Such a fantastic property!!…read more It's Frank Lloyd Wright's last remaining hotel. Magnificent! A must for fans of the GOAT. The hotel is lovely. Just perfect. We got a queen suite. At the time I booked there were no king beds available. It's period appropriate, so maybe there aren't any here. We had a nice suite. 2 rooms and a bathroom. Great shower. Lovely room. The common areas are incredible. Just oozing with charm and character. If you're a FLW fan, this is Mecca. So much Prairie Style architecture in this town. So lovely. The staff is fantastic here. Kay in the Draftsman in the basement is so cool and fun. Carole at the front desk was incredible! Come to Mason City and do it right!!

We saw the sign outside for tours and were lucky enough to get on their 1pm Sunday tour - $15/ person. There were just four of us on the tour. Our tour guide, Curt, did an excellent job giving us the history of the building, the fantastic effort to save it and turn it into a hotel, and other details of this architectural masterpiece. Kudos to the dedicated folks in Mason City who saved this gem from the wrecking ball. A must see for FLW fans.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay here. I'd never heard of AmericInn before, but I looked…read moreat reviews and I'm glad we stayed here. We were in town for a nearby running race, and choices for hotels in the area are slim. This seemed like a newer hotel, the same tier as Hampton Inns. Plenty of parking, though the woman at the front desk could have been friendlier. I'm always more concerned about the room quality though. And ours was clean and comfortable. We were only here for one night, but I would stay here again.

They did have a fairly decent breakfast spread each morning with some variation of eggs, sausage, potatoes, as well as cereals, bread, and a fridge that had yogurt, string cheese, orange juice, and even applesauce. They also had some snack bars and whole fruit available. It's not a fancy hotel but it was just fine for our two nights stay, if you only get one choice of a restaurant to eat in town, our favorite was the Chinese place downtown. They're Kung Pao was excellent.

After 12 hour drive want a nice hot shower and bed. Turn on shower and dead fly comes floating by. Then toilet was never cleaned! Inside was gross! Dirt and hair in corner of floor by shower. Dirty used Kleenex, hair and dirt under counter in sink. So gross! Beds were made and there were clean towels. I didn't even sleep on sheets because I didn't know if they were actually clean. See pics. Will never stay there again! Also, never came to clean room or bring more clean towels.

I arrived on a Tuesday at 2pm and they had a room ready for me in the 1st floor. I was greeted at the front desk and told about the free breakfast. My room was clean. The bathroom was good as well as the bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. The pillows also were fluffy and the room smelled clean. The room has a big selection of tv channels and the WiFi was easy to connect to. Being on the 1st floor I thought it might be noisy but it was extremely quiet. The breakfast had a good variety of options and I would say it is just as good if not better than some Hampton inn breakfasts. I would recommend staying here, would go back.

Her emotional intelligence and leadership style are evident throughout the hotel, and it shows in the atmosphere the moment you walk in. The property is well-managed, organized, and operates with a strong sense of teamwork and positivity. Amy's ability to positively influence the people around her creates an enjoyable experience for guests while also fostering what appears to be a supportive workplace culture for employees. It is refreshing to see leadership that genuinely cares about people and service quality. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through the area.

The pool looked nice though I didn't have time for a dip. The AC was powerful and the room was decorated with black out blinds that were printed with a canoe - functional and very Minnesota! Breakfast was a bit cramped in the front lobby in the morning and the elevator was a bit outdated but beyond that I had a great stay! If you are stopping here I also recommend getting off a few exits west and driving through town. They have a beautiful lake and some good restaurant options outside of the typical chains over by the hotels.

The staff seem to have no pride in their jobs but that simply comes from lack of leadership! This place used to be nice when owned by Winnebago. After it was bought out it has become a place that really should be condemned. The only complaint we even mentioned was the cleanliness and the inoperability of the sofa bed. All of the other highlights of wide-eyed disgust weren't even mentioned to the staff because honestly, they would not have been able to do anything. Sadly, this place is the ONLY place in town! They have the market cornered, so why try too hard? Filthy, moldy, time warp of an experience!
