10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and very comfortable. This was our first stay, and we were quite surprised by the front staff, and the waitress in the dining area. If we were to return to Muscatine, we would not hesitate to get a room there again. We didn't use the pool or the exercise equipment. Maybe we should have.

We were there for a wedding and the hotel and service were excellent. As far as the food was concerned, my pork chop was not the best but my wife's chicken was delicious. This is a very nice hotel.

Great Experience

We’ve stayed here twice now and it’s been a great experience both times. The rooms are clean, as is the rest of the hotel, and the staff is friendly and professional too. I recommend getting a room with the river view!

The Riverview room is worth the extra money! The hotel was more than wonderful, clean, beautiful facility. We were impressed.

This is a charming hotel right on the Mississippi River. This beautifully decorated, clean, bright hotel is staffed by pleasant and helpful staff. We loved walking around the area seeing fun bars and restaurants, cute shops, and the largest watermelon. The food at their restaurant was priced well and delicious. We highly recommend!!

We stayed in room 205 was right over the Merrill sign and view of the river wasn't great. Not the greatest room. I would ask for a room on 3rd floor or higher. Otherwise the room and hotel is great and the staff was amazing. The food was wonderful. The pool and workout area was fantastic.

Overnight stay, the hotel was exceptionally clean, comfortable bed with river view. Morning view of sun and river was amazing. Good times outside with nice drinks next to the fire.

Stayed over on Christmas Eve. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Had family and friends meet me for afternoons cocktails, and a staff member took great care of us. Quiet overnight with view of the river. Checked out early Christmas morning - quick and easy.

10/10 Exceptional

The building was very clean and was nicely decorated/furnished. Staff were friendly. I don't wish to add a negative, but the advertised "heated pool" was actually "cold." It was a bummer, as my husband and I were celebrating our 23rd anniv. and haven't been swimming in ages. I mentioned it to the desk host; she said it's kept at a steady 85 degrees but that she would mention it to the maintenance department. The hotel is lovely overall. (Except the pool - well it's actually an inviting, clean pool -- just way too cold.)
Verified review

6/10 Good

The staff was pretty good except for one sarcastic waitress. A hotel's staff is only as good as its weakest link and why would the most expensive hotel in town employ someone unable or unwilling to work with all types of guests?
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was clean, the property is very modern and elegant. However we had requested a river view, and we got an alley view with notification. The windows of the building across the alley were so close that we kept our windows closed the whole time. We didn’t feel comfortable with having strangers look into our window. Plus, the view was very unpleasant. I really was looking forward to the river view, and just wish we would have been informed. I would stay here again but ai would not pay extra for the river view
