The Merrill Hotel, Muscatine, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

“The standard room was standard size, very small. However, it was SUPER clean and the service was perfect! The food was delicious. I only had one complaint, the lamp above the corner chair in our room hangs so low it could double as a hat. 🤷🏿‍♀️ Other than that, I would stay again and again. It was safe and the staff was at our service any time we rang! Bravo Muscatine..”

“We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Merrill Hotel in Muscatine. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely well-run. Shae, the manager, deserves special recognition: She was attentive, professional, and made sure everything about our stay went smoothly. One of the unexpected highlights was the restaurant. We ended up having breakfast there every morning because it was just that good. The service was consistently excellent, and Anna, our server, was friendly, attentive, and so fun to talk to. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Great hotel, amazing staff, and exceptional service. Highly recommended!”

“Outstanding Staff and Hotel. I’ve been wanting to bring my wife to this hotel for the longest time and finally was able to. We arrived on Friday November 28, 2025 just before a major snowstorm hit the Midwest. Driving up to the main hotel entrance was very convenient. The lobby was very elegant with Christmas decorations and a tree as well as the dining area and the bar. I can’t say enough kind words for all the hotel staff as well as our server for breakfast, which was absolutely fantastic. Parking was convenient with either garage parking (but you have to get there early enough as spots were limited) or plenty of parking in outdoor lots. Our room was a King with a view of the Mississippi River. Rooms are very clean and decorated very nicely. The only downside with this type room was the bathroom counter which we felt was a little too small as well as only half door to the shower (burr!). Waking up the next morning after the snowfall over night was a breathtaking view of the riverfront and the fresh fallen snow covered trees on the Illinois side of the river. Other than that The Merrill Hotel has my highest recommendation to stay here. My wife is hard to please and has excellent taste when it comes to hotels and she definitely wants to come back here and stay in the Chairman Suite.”

“My husband and I were just discussing the best hotels we’ve stayed in and realized we hadn’t left a review for the Merrill. We stayed over Valentine’s Day weekend and were blown away by the quality of every aspect of the hotel. The staff were so kind and welcoming. The hotel itself is stunning! The pool area is possibly the most beautiful we’ve seen indoors. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The food was delicious and the staff were so gracious. We would absolutely return!”

“Beautiful hotel and location on the Mississippi River. Lovely patio with fire pit, tables and chairs. The only drawback for this hotel are 2 things: Open showers, so water gets on the floor. No hot tub, and pool water is cold Otherwise, a lovely place to stay.”
