Work

I stayed here for work. Beautiful building, loved the history. Room was not clean at all when I checked in and the lock for the room is kinda finicky. Loved the proximity to work and the host was responsive to my concerns. Could use curtains that cover the whole window so that the lights outside aren’t shining in. Great place overall tho!

Great place to stay

The Exchange is a really interesting and well thought out repurposing of a historic building. Winona is gorgeous and we will definitely be going back! Hopefully we can find a room at the Exchange for our next visit. Room was exactly as described, very clean and super comfortable bed.

The unit was better than expected! Very clean, modernized while respecting the historic character of the building, good layout of space, kitchen was well stocked to cook meals, comfy bed, good bathroom towels. A close walk to the farmers market, river trail, restaurants (including good coffee and ice cream) and grocery stores. Definitely recommend. We'll be back!
