I searched a long time before making a reservation somewhere--not a lot of great options in Mason City--and am really glad this is where we chose to stay. The hotel smelled a little musty upon entering, but we arrived really late and were greeted by really friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean and the wireless internet definitely a... more

We were driving late at night (11:30) when we found this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our 2 queen room was exceptionally clean and had free high-speed wireless internet. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool, and fitness center. In the morning, before leaving, our family indulged in the free deluxe continental breakfast. This breakfast was... more

Really enjoyed my stay. I come for business 10 - 12 times annually. The hotel is clean. Any complaint (VERY few) or suggestions I have had, are always quickly addressed, even if it is beyond what they are capable of doing. They have a beautiful pool and spa, always crystal clear, and warm. A nice fitness room with enough equipment... more

We stayed at the CI&S for two nights on business. From what we heard from colleagues it is supposedly the best place in town. Since much of Mason City is on or around Rte 122, the hotel is pretty conveniently located to many things. In fact, 122 is a long stretch of big box stores and fast food joints. The... more

The Country Inn is probably the best local hotel in Mason City - clean, modern, spacious and located in a quiet, semi-rural area on the southern outskirts of the city. It's expensive for a small-town hotel ($281 for a 3-night stay with tax) - about the max the market will bear. Free internet is a plus, but it choked on... more

We stayed here three nights on a business trip. At check in I signed a form saying if I smoke in our non-smoking room a $250 fee would be applied to my credit card. We were suprised when we went to our non-smoking room and it reaked of smoke. We went back to the front desk and the girl there... more

Stayed here many times and always pleased. I think this hotel has improved in quality and cleanliness. Breakfast is very good with many choices and good quality food and a great room for breakfast. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hotel is clean well maintained. Location is excellent, on the edge of Mason City near shopping and dining. Very pleased... more

Every so often I must travel to Mason City to visit family. The lack of lodging maintained at first-world standards was always a frustration. The Country Inn and Suites is nothing to write home about, but considering the alternative establishments in Mason City, it is by far the best place going. The "country" decor was tired and tawdy, but the... more

Not the typical budget hotel we really enjoyed our stay at the Country Inn. We opted for the extra $20 and stayed in the mini suite. The room had a nice sitting area along with a king size bed and refrigerator. The staff were always friendly and gave us directions when we needed them. They had cookies and fruit available... more
