After some years of anticipation - I decided to divert my vacation to stay in Mason City & at the hotel I saw as a disaster over five years ago. It has been brought back! I thought a good value for the money - but it just fell a little short of the WOW factor I was looking for. We... More

The Historic Park Inn in Mason City is going to get my highest ranking. My dilemma - is it because of its luxury or its value? Comments on each, and some "heads up" below. Background: I retired from upper management of a Fortune 50 company where I stayed at the best hotels worldwide. My parents & siblings still live in... More

My husband and I stayed at this most unusual hotel, Historic Park Inn, just last week! It is the only remaining hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright that still exists in the world, and we truly enjoyed it. It has been lovingly and carefully restored, and many of his architectural hallmarks are evident,. There are docents available to give tours... More

My family used the hotel as a base for my 60th birthday party. The whole family was there, taking up six rooms over two nights.

My husband and I spent an anniversary overnight at the HPI and were so impressed with the accommodations; friendly service, price; renovation work; and, especially, the energy-saving touches. We can't wait to visit again!

We decided to stay an extra night and we didn't even have to move to a different room even though they were sold out. All staff seemed to go out of the... More

Seems a little strange, perhaps, to take a road trip to Mason City, Iowa, but we wanted to stay in a Frank Lloyd Wright hotel. We had seen it featured in our local newspaper--it is recently reopened following a renovation. It is located on the Mason City town square, right down town. Originally designed as a bank, attorneys' office and... More

We rotated from room to room with our books to soak up each unique ambiance. We also found the customer service to be excellent and our fellow clientele to be pretty classy. We would definitely come back.... More
