Historic Park Inn Hotel, Mason City

The rooms are small, which is to be expected for a motel designed back in 1910. Not a fan that there is a wine fridge vs mini fridge in room. I absolutely love that there is an overhead light since so many hotels do not and that you have complete control over your comfort. The controls for the light honestly took me a while to figure out. No ice machine, but mini bags of ice you can take. Location is wonderful. I explored part of their statues and fun architecture after checking in, ate at their bar, then went out to see their Veterans memorial and more of their tour of statues. Me and coworker were disappointed in the food and we never got checked on once food was delivered. Drink was amazing. It was fun to stay there vs. The standard Holiday Inn we usually stay at. Also helpful to know - we have a 26ft vehicle and they were able to give us a pass to park nearby to ignore the 2hr parking limit

Definitely take the tour if you have the chance. Barb was our Docent and she was excellent! The history of the property, all of the adversity it underwent over the years and the renovation which brought everything back together was amazing to hear. The rooms were comfortable as were the furnishings. The bathroom was a reasonable size and classic, yet modern. The work out room is tucked away in a corner of the lower level, but it's there. The Draftsman bar is a cool man cave also in the lower level which is worth visiting. All in all, it was a great weekend stay.
