This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely beautiful historic building with a grand scale and fully updated modern rooms. The design and comfort is impeccable. Large room and bathroom, but not so large that it isn’t cozy. Perfect in my opinion. The onsite dining options are fantastic for world class breakfast lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. And the coffee is amazing. There were a couple of quirks in the room—the sound of trickling water whenever the ac turned...

The place was wonderfully decorated with many traditional elements. It's a short walking distance from the center of town. The owner was very helpful and gave us some nice tips on what to go see.

Excellent hotel. Be aware that if you’re staying on a Sunday there are very limited options for restaurants/bars in downtown Mason City.

Both check in and check out were extremely pleasant experiences. I stayed for an event at Drake, and the location was right across the street from where I needed to be making this an excellent place. The room was clean, updated, very comfortable, and I was glad for the parking. I would definitely stay here again for any other trips to this part of town.

I wanted to find a place to get away for a day and relax. The hotel was great. There wasn't alot of people there so i had the pool all to myself. rooms are very modern and beds are super comfortable. I stayed in a king size suite and would definitely stay there again. The free breakfast in the morning was also a great added bonus.
