Decorah is beautiful and we had a great weekend. The hotel is well located, but…our room had stained carpeting, burned out light bulb above vanity, rude bartender. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

My husband and I liked the beautiful interior of the restored building very much. However $250 for the night seemed very expensive especially with only a continental breakfast.

This was a decent stay. Check in was super quick, almost like hurried us out of there. Hotel itself is nice tho we found the bed to be pretty uncomfortable. Nice area - walkable around town and to the trail system. Overall a decent stay for the price.

Very historic hotel in beautiful Norwegian-American community which celebrates its heritage. The Norwegian Immigrant's Museum was fantastic. There is a waterfall and an ice cave nearby. The hotel bar had a nice selection of cocktails, beer, and wine. Overall a charming boutique hotel with friendly, courtesy and professional staff.
