An excellent historical hotel. I was thinking it would be old or need updating, but not the case at all! It was in outstanding shape. The property is beautiful with many shared spaces that aficionados of architecture will appreciate. Rooms have been modernized and are extremely clean and well maintained. The restaurant is excellent as well. Unfortunately, Mason City is a bit of a sleepy town with limited dining options, but there are many historic sites to explore. The hotel restaurant only had 2 people working and the bar was closed due to lack of available employees to work that evening. I still highly recommend this as a weekend getaway.

A gem that should always be pristine!

The Historic Park Inn is a national gem. The room (222) was very clean and well cared for by staff. I was disappointed that there was 1. water damage in the wall in the hallway near my room.2. that the elevator rug was dirty (more than a vacuum can pick up) & 3. that so many tiles on first floor are damaged. A national gem should be pristine. Call on patrons for funding to make a gem in top condition.

Fun place to stay for the architecture. Everything closes very early, but that may just be Mason City in general.

I loved that it was the "off" season and that there wasn't a lot of people staying there. Also, the gift shop is amazing.
