The hotel was so historic and beautiful. The room was very large and comfortable. Parking, the check-in process, and the lobby bar and breakfast area were amazing. There was so much to do in the downtown area within walking distance. Great experience!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The ambiance was wonderful , with its early 1900s aesthetic . Real carved solid wood everywhere, Mirrors and paintings, a nice lounge. I posted pictures and immediately got positive responses from friends.The entrances are inviting and the staff very friendly . I come from Fargo-Moorhead where downtown buildings were lost to fire or 'urban renewal'. So nice to see preservation.

This place was a step back in time, in a good way! For the price of a cookie cutter hotel, you get a beautiful piece of history. Room was clean and comfortable, staff was amazing. Sounds like I don't even need to recommend it to my friends - they all knew!

If you come to Decorah, you need to stay at Hotel Winneshiek. It's right in downtown Decorah where the shopping and food is easy to walk to. The hotel may be old but it has a lot of character and much closer than the other hotels/motels. The morning breakfast is great with pre-made croissants with fruit, yogurt, breakfast bars, coffee/tea, etc available. The bar was fun and the staff was personable. We'll come back to Hotel Winneshiek the next time.

The Expedia description is a little off. The “King Executive Suite” is just a bed room with a king bed. Nothing suite or executive about it. Front desk dude blamed Expedia on description. We even asked if we had the correct room. Nothing to complain about. Nice, historic hotel within walking of cute downtown. Very friendly bartender and bar.

Overall just OK Clean, yes, King bed was old and sagged, heating/cooling was impossible to adjust, no restaurant or buffet for breakfast (on a Monday morning). Even if a US president had stayed there before, it was not a pleasant stay.
