In all my days of being in travel, The Millwright is one of the most pleasant stays I've had at a hotel. Has everything you need for a most relaxing stay...spacious rooms, friendly staff, quiet relaxing atmosophere. And it doesn't hurt that it's across the street from the Millstream Brewery! If you're passing through Iowa on I-80 and need some down time overnight, it's about 10 miles north on US Hwy 151 but we'll worth a stop.

Very nice place to stay. Came here for a mother daughter trip to experience the Amana colonies German Village. Staff was very friendly, food was good. Rooms were nice and clean. Shower was a glass door shower, very spacious. Definitely recommend.

The hotel was really interesting. Our only issue was how loud everything is. Laying in bed we could hear the person in the next room snoring. The hallways in the hotel do not have carpet so every noise seems to be amplified throughout the hotel. Then in the middle of the night a couple of trains came by the hotel horns blaring. I had no idea the hotel was by a rail line. So, really neat hotel, but if you like a quiet room you probably won't find it here.

We loved Hotel Millwright! The hotel was clean. Our room was clean and spacious. Art is everywhere with artifacts from the woolen mill. There is an onsite bar and restaurant. We received a token for a complimentary drink during happy hour. There is an outdoor patio between the hotel and another small bar named the Electric Thread - very cozy!

The hotel is within walking distance of pretty much everything in town. There is still a functioning woolen mill on the hotel campus. The Amana Furniture shop is also there. You can watch weavers and woodworkers work M-F at these places. I loved the Warped and Woven gift shop which sells items from the mill.

We found this sweet, little gem and thoroughly enjoyed our quiet and comfortable stay in this charming community. It exceeded our expectations! The staff was most helpful throughout our two nights stay from check-in to check out. They were cheerful and friendly. Our room was large, clean and updated. The bed was super comfortable and the linens soft. Was nice to have a little refrigerator and microwave in the room as well as the coffee maker. We enjoyed drinks in the bar and outside on the patio. We loved the quiet evenings and walking around the little community exploring. If you’re looking for a place to unwind and relax in a beautiful setting, this is it!

I could not resist the new woven blanket I picked from their onsite store (and small mill). I will be coming for a Christmas week with my daughter and will book this right away.

If you decide to visit the Amana Colonies, you must stay here at the Millwright hotel. This hotel has so much history and it is displayed everywhere. I truly enjoyed my stay here. They do have a restaurant on site that serves breakfast lunch and dinner. It is very close to all the shops and dining areas in town. I would definitely stay here again.

I always enjoy staying at hotel Millwork- centrally located, unique transformation of an old woolen mill into a modern hotel. This stay was overall good. 4/5 only because they’re one option for breakfast, which is their restaurant, was not operational the morning I left because apparently the waitress didn’t show up. There were very few other options in the Amana‘s for breakfast and the staff really had no solution to the problem. Otherwise, a good stay.

Wonderful redesign of an old mill property, leaving details/structures within to be appreciated. That said, the architects did not take into account the control of noise from the hallways which didn't have carpeted flooring (about half of the first floor).

The ceilings, walls & floors are all hard surfaces, allowing noises like the ice machine \"dropping a new batch\", or suitcases bumping along on the floor, or doors closing, etc. to be readily heard inside guest rooms in those hallways. Being an historic textile mill, it would be easy to hang many examples of textiles on walls to act as sound \"absorbers\", among other things that could be done.

Otherwise, our breakfast food was very tasty and well-prepared, and the bathroom had a great, large walk-in shower, the bed was very comfortable and their smart-TV feature is top-notch....making it very easy to log into our personal streaming subscriptions, instead of having to watch cable or satellite TV with its over-load of commercials!

The reviews are accurate on the amount of noise. You can fully hear every single word your neighbor is saying. And the hallways are so extremely loud with even people trying not to be loud. The rooms are nice size. The windows definitely need cleaning--sooo many cobwebs. And still trying to figure out the bill. Expedia has an amount, then the hotel put an extra charge on for \"guest services\" but then my credit card was charged $50 more than those amounts. So I'm assuming there's maybe a room deposit that they just don't disclose on the receipt that will eventually go back on the card? And if so, that really needs to be specified. It's pretty expensive for what you actually get.

This historic building now turned hotel is truly a gem! Friendly, helpful staff, super-clean rooms, and the interior was remade with such love and care for history, such that the halls are lined with so many fascinating artifacts and stories from the past that it ranks nearly as a museum. Furthermore, it is in that \"sweet spot\" when the remodel is old enough to have thoroughly off-gassed but new enough that everything is in great condition. My husband and I are mildly chemically sensitive and we did not have any problems staying here.
