I love that they repurposed it.. it is charming.. antiques from the mill through out. The gentleman at the front desk was outstanding full of charm and knowledge. So welcoming..

Two weeks ago, a major disaster for our family. Our son's…read morewedding and reception were at this hotel. Checking day......Guaranteed check at 3pm. We arrived at 2pm. At 3pm, still no room.......we had four rooms, but the party had pretty much the entire hotel. At 4pm, still no room....but someone walked in the door at 4:05 and they received a room. At 4:15 again, I went to the front desk. Up to this point "Dave" was helping us. He was busy and an older taller lady with long dark & gray hair "helped" us. This is where it got ugly. The lady was the rudest hotel person I have ever met. I asked for answers to why and when. All she did was give me a nasty smirk and I actually told her to remove that smirk. I asked for the Manager, she said the Manager could not do anything about it. I asked again, within 15 minutes we had the Manager. We explain the guarantee we received when booking the Wedding and that we had a pre-wedding party to get to an an hour. She said they were having staffing issues and our four rooms have not been released yet. I informed her, I went to our rooms and the doors were open. The rooms were clean. She explained they have been inspected as complete yet. I explained to her that people have walked in and received rooms. I explained to her she needs to swap out rooms for people standing in the lobby vs. people who have not arrived. 15 minutes later we had three rooms. While standing with the manager as she clicked on her computer, I heard another guest ask the tall long haired lady, "What is going on?, Why aren't rooms ready" The same rude lady behind the counter which smirked at me...........Told the other guest, "It's none of your business." Wow. I thought her husband was going to jump over the counter at Ms. Tall & Rude. The next day I caught a room cleaner in the hallway and said they did not have to do a complete clean on our room. Just give us towels and coffee. We received NOTHING. Hotel Millwright way over promised and way under delivered. I'm shocked at the lady behind the counter. Dave (behind the counter) was nice.. The Manager did not have her arms around the operation. She made people stand in the lobby for an hour and a half while rooms were available, just not reassigned. Regarding the reception.......the facility was nice. However, certain food items ran out before all guests were fed. The bar was understaffed and the lines were long. Hope this review finds many people and saves you from the Millwright.

Die Heimat is more than a place to stay in a tourist area - it is more like being at home with…read morefamily. Parking is located behind the 170 year old building - one of the original buildings of the Amana Colonies. As you drive toward the back you are welcomed by lush greenery: trees, shrubs, grass, and beautiful flowers. You note the fire pits and comfortable chairs arranged around the fire. You enter through a back door. Your eyes note the many historic pictures and artifacts while your nose detects a distinct, faint, pleasant smell - a mixture of bakery and fresh linen. As you enter the living area with the antique furniture you are reminded of your grandmother's home. It even feels like home. We were greeted by the amiable owners, John and Karin who treat you like family and offer you warm hospitality and a peaceful retreat in a setting that melds over 170 years of Amana history, culture, and hospitality. They serve a complimentary breakfast from 8-9 am featuring a variety of savory and sweets such as: fruit compote, fruit juices, yogurt, scrambled and herbed eggs, stuffed French Toast (oh my!), old fashioned oatmeal, sausage, biscuits, homemade southern-style gravy, and more. Our bedroom room was filled with antique furniture and adorned with antique quilts and lace, but the beds... Initially, I thought they may be too soft, but was I in for a surprise. I slept through the night for seven hours both nights. Because of a chronic illness I average 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours of sleep per night with multiple trips out of bed. At Die Heimat, I fell asleep, remained asleep, and awakened after seven hours ready to enjoy the many historical sites in the beautiful Amana Colonies. Thank you John and Karin, for a delightful visit. We look forward to visiting with you in a few months on our next visit.

My parents stayed in room #3, The Whitetail, and it was perfect for my parents because they did not have to walk up any stairs and it was close to the door. The room was very large and my dad enjoyed the comfortable recliner because it reminded him of his at home. My husband and I stayed in room #8, The Walnut Grove, which was also a lovely room. It was nicely decorated and very large and has a great soaking tub. We all agreed that the hotel and rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was good and my parents enjoyed the coffee being available early in the morning. The location is only a few miles away from the Amana Colonies and in a nice neighborhood. We all enjoyed our stay and would stay there again, should we return to the area.

Before we went, I booked a really pricey room, expecting it to be a one-of-a-kind stay. It was a one-of-a-kind stay and a once-in-a-lifetime experience because it was the worst on my trip and I'll never go there again. In all the reservations made, theirs was the only non-refundable one, and I think I know why--most people would get there and turn around and leave. I went in early in the afternoon to inquire as to check-in time and where they recommended for dinner. The woman, without any warmth at all, started to answer my questions, but then turned away to answer her cell phone. When I finally checked into the room (The Red Carpet Room), the first thing I noticed walking in was a smell of dampness--more than just a drying shower--something like previously damp carpet. The room was beautiful to behold, and the bed was comfy. They said it was their most popular room. I can see why--it is beautiful when you see it online which is what compels you to book it. Breakfast was okay, if you don't mind casserole-type dishes. The front desk person, and the kitchen/dining room helper were both very friendly, but unfortunately, those first impressions put me off of everything.

Pros: The suite was spacious for such a cheap price and was well furnished and very clean. The bed was soft enough and the couches and chairs provided were all comfortable as well. The Lodging is very close to main street in Amana and was within walking distance of most of the attractions, restaurants, and shops. The bathroom is also handicapped accessible Cons: The main problem we had with the Lodging was that it was advertised as a Bed and Breakfast. While the bed part was pretty nice the Breakfast was...well neglected. The "english muffins" were stale and the tea and juice were ancient and tasted bad. Luckily due to the central location there was a very nice cafe ( Serena's ) right down the road where we had a great breakfast. Additionally the lodging had no wifi or any way to connect to the internet and the television had a limited 20 channels and bad resolution. Overall we had a nice stay in the Lace lodging but would have appreciated more attention to have been paid in regards to breakfast and technology.

Oats and flax also available. Organic berries and cantaloupe. Will definitely stay here again if ever back in town... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Parking was less than $10 a night - which is a steal. And to top it all off, the room was amazing. We got a suite (that was not much more) and got a couch bed and a king size, and the view of the river was a sight to see. We have to come back often to see family, and will likely be staying here.

The bathrooms are nice with the rainforest combo and they are currently building a recency club. The only thing that I think they could do better every time I visit is to polish the water marks off the stainless faucet and handles If you book third party it is on you. Book direct and you are set.

On the other side of bathroom is another door that leads you to a dining/living room with a twin bed. Then a door to the kitchen that has a sink, microwave, fridge and coffeemaker. They had tea, coffee and hot chocolate mix. Also, sugar, creams and sweeteners. The owners son lives downstairs and was very friendly and hostipitible, also had great knowledge of the history and area. This B&B is located right next store to an old communal kitchen used by the Amanites which is on the 3 hour tour (RSVNS made seperately through Visitors Center - which I also recommend). If going back to Amana I would def stay here again. The only thing that was missing was shampoo and hairdryer, but everything else was perfect.
