Nice but a little pricey.
Pros:

The view from the restaurant reminded us a lot Port Huron. With the big ships and trains.

Cons:

The walls weren’t very thick (sound isolating). We could hear people next door using the bathroom.

Die Adresse in Muscatine! Jederzeit gerne wieder!
Pros:

Tolle Sicht auf den Mississippi. Gute Innenstadtlage, Restaurants, Fast Food, Breweries fußläufig. Gepflegte Straßen und Wege und kostenfreie Parkplätze gleich am Hotel, das getrennt durch eine mittelmäßig stark befahrene Straße und Bahnlinie unmittelbar am Mississippi liegt. Geräumige Suite im oberen Geschoss. Schalldichte Fenster, so dass der in unmittelbarer Nähe stattfindende Auto- und Zugverkehr absolut nicht stört. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!

Cons:

Nachteil: Fenster können nicht geöffnet werden. Schade ist, dass die Dachterrasse nicht frei zugänglich ist, sondern der Zugang Event-abhängig ist.

It was a decent stay, but for the price, I was disappointed.
Pros:

The facilities were nice.

Cons:

I booked two queen beds but was given a king. No free continental breakfast, I had to pay extra. Parking was difficult and inconvenient. Our Kleenex box was empty when we arrived.

Outstanding Dining Experience and Wonderful Hotel Stay
Pros:

The hotel room was well decorated and clean and the check-in staff were helpful and friendly. A special note was Maxwell’s on the river Restaurant. Chef Tessa Cardoza accommodated my husband’s eating needs exceptionally well. His food was well presented and delicious. This kindness extended to myself, my brother and sister-in-law in that it allowed us to enjoy a meal out with with our loved one which we seldom get to do. Both our server for dinner on May 12 and for breakfast on May 13 we’re also exceptional. They answered our many questions and requests not only for my husband’s needs, but for another guest who requires a strict gluten-free diet. They were friendly, patient and professional. We would highly recommend both the hotel and Maxwell’s on the river. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

Clean room, great service, better people.
Pros:

Location along the river was fantastic. The lounge, restaurant and bar areas are fantastic. Room was very clean with great housekeeping service. Was there for my son’s gold tournament and felt it was a great value for the overall stay. The food at the restaurant was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended.

Every person that worked at the hotel was so welcoming and friendly. It’s worth the stay just to feel so welcome. We’ll be back next year for the tournament and will be staying again.

Lovely hotel in a quaint river town
Pros:

Our stay at The Merrill was delightful. It is an elegant hotel with a beautiful view of the Mississippi River. We were greeted by friendly and efficient staff who offered us, as Titanium Marriott members, welcome gifts and a $32 credit toward breakfast. In addition we had access to free snacks from the 5th floor pantry. The room was comfortable and nicely appointed. Parking is free and baggage handling is self-service at curbside. Dinner at Maxwell’s was delicious (especially the strawberry salad) and service was perfect. My husband and I try to stop here at least once on every road trip. Of the many places we have stayed, The Merrill is our favorite!

We were really looking forward to our weekend here. We ended up driving back home.
Pros:

We had been planning a weekend trip to the Merrill Hotel in Muscatine for my birthday and Valentine weekend. We had the "romance" package which includes $40.00 brunch for two and $75 food and beverage for dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant has great reviews and the menu sounded wonderful.
We got to the Merrill House about 3:30 today, and got a packet with our beverage/meal credit for the restaurant for dinner and brunch. The two women that checked us in, Emma and Kelsie, said to make our Valentine's dinner reservations soon. We went to our room and talked about time and looked over the menu. About 5-10 minutes later, we came back, saw them, and were ready to reserve for dinner Friday, brunch and dinner Saturday, and brunch Sunday. We had purchased the package that gave us this credit on meals. They called the restaurant but they were completely booked Valentine's dinner. They were also not taking reservations anytime for brunch on Saturday. They did say we could have a reduction in room rate paid (although not as much as our credits were for). We told them to please make a reservation for Friday night. Again, they called the restaurant and said they were completely booked for the entire evening. Come on! We paid for this package and reserved six months ago! My husband and I looked at each other and said we were upset at how we could use NONE of our credit. We wanted to just go home
(about three hours away). They told us they would cancel our room. We got our things, and by 4:30 or so we were on our way home. They said that they had no control over the restaurant (which is located right in their lobby area) and that it was run independently. How can you have it run independently and offer "romance" packages that include credits for the restaurant? When we were ready to leave, they suddenly said we could eat there Friday night, but still not anytime Saturday. This is a terrible way to run a hotel. It is a beautiful building, but I would never ever stay there again. They promised things they knew they couldn't deliver. If they had let us know, we would have never made the three hour trip today. If reservations were a problem, they had both our cell phone numbers. This was a mess!
