Loved the overall feel of this FLW gem.
Cons:

The windows are very dirty. The food quality in the restaurant was sub-par and they don't offer breakfast. They should provide a historical brochure of the property in every room.

It’s a great place to visit and look around at the FLW touches.
Pros:

Such an iconic place to stay!

Cons:

The bathroom we had could use some attention. The sink is cracked tho it does not appear to leak. Thought it was a long hair in the bowl. lol
The mirror is mounted really close to the outside wall and it makes it hard to stand directly in front of it when using it. Minor stuff maybe but you asked.

Very pleasant stay in ahistoric hotel
Pros:

The Frank Lloyd Wright architecture was wonderfully maintained. Really enjoyed staying in a hotel that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Large, comfortable room and comfortable bed; nice chairs to lounge in. Very pleasant staff. Also, a very nice gift shop was a pleasant surprise.

Cons:

No breakfast, but we did have and used the coffee facilities in our room.

Pros:

Central location. Frank Lloyd Wright's last remaining hotel. Attentive, friendly staff. Nice bar area.

Cons:

A few minor issues with room amenities. The bath towels were old and frayed - not something you would expect at a quality hotel. The coffee machine was located on a table that had no nearby power outlet and there was no extension cord. We had to move the machine to a smaller writing desk in order to have power. A bit cramped but machine made good coffee.

Beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright designed hotel (the last one still standing)
Pros:

The Historic Park Inn Hotel in Mason City was a great experience. Our room 305 was very clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable with luxury sheets and pillows. Water pressure in the bathroom sink was low, but o.k. in the adjacent shower. Very quiet room. The hotel is fun to explore. There are many public areas. Frank Lloyd Wright's designs are everywhere of course. Be sure to eat next door at The Quarry restaurant, which has amazing fine dining dishes.

Historical should not also mean dirty
Pros:

Smelly carpet everywhere. Dirty shower. Blinds broken.

Cons:

Location is nice but the view of my room was on the inside “court”. I had to keep all the blinds down to have privacy

Pros:

O hotel é em um prédio histórico projetado, muito interessante. The staff é o melhor, todo muito muito solicito e simpático. A localização é ótima, comercio aos arredores. Prove o restaurante do hotel, é muito bom.
A cama também é ótima!

Cons:

Eu não gostei do chuveiro pois ajustar a temperatura era complicado, ou estava frio ou muito quente. (HAHAH)
