Disappointing

Stayed in Presidential Suite. Very noisy from Water street both at night and in morning. Poor lighting in room especially after sun went down. No full service restaurant although many close by.

The building is old, but beautifully maintained and updated. There is so much more interest and character in a building with history, a building which was constructed in an era when craftsmanship was prized and the materials used were beautiful wood and stone. It was a pleasure to stay there.

The hotel is on the Main Street of Decorah with walkable access to shopping and restaurants. Many of the original features of the hotel still exist so it has the feel of a 1920s/30s hotel. Rooms are modern and comfortable.

Excellent stay at Hotel Winn & wished for more than just a quick night! Walked up to Phelp's Park (a must-do!) after grabbing a latte at Impact to go with the excellent continental breakfast. We did visit the bar the night before & enjoyed the potstickers & chicken satay. It is my 3rd time staying at the old beauty & can't wait to return!
