The Merrill Hotel, Muscatine, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

"My wife and I were at the Merrill for a romantic dinner and overnight stay. The hotel is located across the street from the riverfront area and it is really beautiful. The rooms were spacious and very clean and modern. We also had an early supper at the hotel restaurant and we were blown away by the food. Best Reuben I ever had and the Parmesan fries were decadent as well. The service was excellent and the drinks were pricey but worth every dime. I highly recommend the restaurant and hotel to everyone who is passing through or as a weekend destination."

"Nice hotel, but I'm not sure it should cost what it does. I travel a few days per week and have spent only 80 dollars a night for an equivalent room at chain hotels. There are not many options in the area given the small town. It was comfortable. The parking lot is free and across the street. The mobile check-in is a convenient option. Sorta takes away the warm smile at a check-in desk, but if you don't have any use for chit-chat, by all means, use your phone to unlock the room door."

"Food was fantastic! Everything on the menu looked great. Couldn't decide. I had the Champagne sauce pasta with grilled shrimp! An excellent glass of Merlot. My daughter had the roast beef taco with cilantro and veggies with a non alcohol Bloody Mary. She said both were perfect! The restaurant was decorated with an exquisite Holiday theme. Definitely go back! Great for a special occasion!"

"My stay here was absolutely perfect. The team at this hotel truly understands hospitality. The quality of management here definitely goes above and beyond Marriott brand standards. I’m honestly not sure why this isn’t a 5 star hotel. I’d rate it higher than just about every 4 star Marriot property I have stayed at. The design and construction of this hotel is remarkable, lots of effort went in to making this a quality product for the guests and it definitely shows."

"I am part owner in a Marriott property. I don't leave many reviews but have to make an exception for The Merrill Hotel in Muscatine, IA. We traveled for the Michigan State/Iowa football game. It was an easy drive to Iowa City and everything about the hotel was wonderful. The staff (in particular) Jenny Adams was wonderful. She was breath of fresh air and Marriott as well as the Merrill couldn't have hired a better representative of their brand. Well done Merrill...This will be where we stay anytime we are in the area."
