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!

Beautifully renovated historic hotel. When you enter you are in awe of the beautiful woodwork to stain glass. Rooms were “roomy” comfy and bathroom extra large! Just wonderful!

Beautifully restored hotel. Bar with delicious appetizers, but no restaurant. Great location downtown Decorah. Accommodating staff. We needed an accessible room (at minimum bars in the bathtub) but the hotel does not have them.
