Best bed we've stayed in (away from home), the coolest robes for after the shower (which was in the middle of the tub, open to the room! Lots of fun little things you wouldn't expect, like q-tips, ear plugs, dental floss, shampoo and conditioner, plenty of pillows, lotion, toothpaste, and so much more I may have forgotten something?!

Innkeeper Connie very friendly, and our room had a wonderful deck overlooking main street, railroad and river above Alma Dam. Walking distance to all town bars, restaurants and shops. Great rates, very affordable. Decor a little knick-knacky, but bed rooms and bed were extremely comfortable. Cable TV was nice when insomnia kicked in. Continental breakfast was good, though coffee was Folgers; try one of the shops in town for better joe, or the cafe across the street for full breakfast. I would definitely go back.

I am reviewing the dining experience only. A party of three of us went over to Wabasha, from…read moreWisconsin, for the Thanksgiving Buffet. The condition of the building is something that needs work. All areas that we saw need repair. The food tasted good, but when our time to be seated came, the buffet had run out of nearly everything. The one cook could not keep up. We went back after seeing a number of things being re-filled - sometime later. There were some menu items that must have just been out. Never saw those things re-filled. We had one glass of warm-ish tap water to drink and never got a re-fill. No one there to ask, once we were seated. My husband did get an initial cup of coffee, but the coffee ran out and there was no more made - for anyone to have. We saw the empty pots on the burners from our table. There were no servers, no people to re-fill the buffet, other than the one cook. The man seating people was dressed like he was at a truck stop - jeans and a t-shirt. We expected so much more at a Thanksgiving Buffet at $75.00 for the 3 of us. I am a former food and beverage manager and could say more, but I think they just were not prepared, not staffed and lacked some industry standards. I hope they work on some these things. The potential is there!

In my 38 year career traveling I have averaged a hotel stay minimum once a week. This hotel by far…read morewas the worst experience I've had. I wanted to experience a historic hotel having grown up in the area. My room on the 3rd floor was uncomfortably hot because it had been closed up all day allowing the sun to shine in thru 3 large windows. I noticed the other rooms doors were all open and a lot cooler. It did have some kind of vent for cooling but nothing was coming out of it. Everything at this hotel is done on line or over the phone with the host because it's a Vrbo. There is no one on premise to complain to. Being exhausted from driving all day and not in the mood to deal with getting a hold of the host to switch rooms, I stuck the provided box fan in the window and made sure it was pointed right at me the entire time. I woke at 3am covered in sweat and decided to get out of there and try to sleep in the rental car. Btw: this was the hottest day that week in June. By 5am a breeze started to blow thru the windows so I decided to shower and leave. Besides being hot, the bed squeaked everytime you moved and was extremely hard, luggage rack had to be a joke (see photo), no hangers in closet, things stuck to my bare feet from the carpet (defined not vacuumed well), huge cracks in walls (maybe historic?), floor sagged so bed was leveled with bricks, rotted window sills, cleaning products including the vacuum were left in hallway along with some white powder at the top of staircase wasn't vacuumed up. There isn't an elevator here so keep in mind what you'll need to haul up the staircase. Rooms on lower floors were higher priced. If historic means run down, then I think I'll stick with modern. This was not a cheap room, the lowest room rates in the area for that day were $150. I paid the same after taxes and a service charge.

Not a bad place at all…read more We stayed here because it was an option for a friend's wedding AND they allowed dogs! I have never been able to take my dog with me to a hotel and this was an extreme highlight. After a night of celebrating with friends we came home to my sleepy pooch and felt like we never left home. The front desk staff was kind and natural. It's an outdated place but we were treated with hospitality and kindness. The only issue was that our fridge didn't work and when we reported it a handy-person came to our door around 9am. I didn't let him in since it was just me and I was a little uncomfortable since the place is a little secluded and very quiet. He left a different mini fridge outside somewhere and we never resolved the issue. It didn't seem important enough. He was a nice guy, I just felt protective of myself and dog There's a big yard with a fire-pit in the back of the building and I think some fairgrounds down the road. Close to stores and downtown area, drive wise. I would definitely stay here again if I needed to. Our pet fee was even waived! The rooms smelled over perfumed and the TV didn't work very well but Still. 5 stars because I could bring my Pit Bull
