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.
