Hotel Millwright

What guests think

Hotel Millwright stands out for its unique conversion of a historic woolen mill, offering very spacious, modern rooms and friendly service in a walkable Amana Colonies location, with many guests praising comfortable beds, large showers, and thoughtful industrial decor.

Some drawbacks include noise transferring between rooms and hallways, occasional train horns at night, and disruptions near event areas. Dining feedback is mixed: many enjoy breakfast and the on-site bar and restaurant, but others report limited hours, slow or understaffed service, and at times a very limited menu. Expect a distinctive, clean, and comfortable stay centered on history and space, with potential noise and dining-service variability.

The small Cafe closed early so like other chain hotels this hotel could have provided in the lobby either water or coffee as there are not many options in the immediate area to find a coffee shop. Also parking is not located right next to the hotel due to this being a converted factory building.

Our room smelled musty. We think it was coming from the carpet. Unfortunately, they were unable to move us, the only other room was pet friendly. Their solution was to turn the AC fan up full blast, that did not help. Shower had an empty shampoo container. Coffee maker mad diluted coffee.

The maid did not clean the room on the 1st night of our stay so we had to request clean towels. The hotel had body wash for the shower and no soap. It's hard to wash your hands after going to the bathroom without soap. We asked if they had any and they didn't. Also the bar in the hotel wasn't open both nights because an employee called in. They did nothing to rectify this

Hotel is uniquely renovated. The decorating is beautiful. However, rooms are not soundproof and you can hear everything in the room next to ours. They were very loud and the TV was VERY loud and we could hear it all. Outside windows are dirty and with cobwebs. Breakfast was delicious and staff was friendly and attentive. Bar was nice with good drinks. Closes too early.

Very convenient and unique place to stay while in Amana. Very clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Only downside is that it can be noisy in the rooms. Original room (103) was conveniently located by an outside door, but had to ask to be moved because we could hear everything being said in the room next door. This room is near the event area also and I was told it can get very loud if there is a wedding, etc. Thankfully hotel wasn't full, and staff was very accommodating, so got moved to another room that was better. Old historic building with many original items from the woolen mill. No continental breakfast, but great food at the restaurant in the hotel and good bakery and other restaurants in town. Would definitely stay here again.

A fantastic example of historical building reclamation, hotel design, and mix of modern amenities with artifacts from the original architecture. Pleasantly surprised how smack dab inside the Amana village this is... Check in was easy and friendly. We stayed only one night but I can see how a multiple night stay could be comfortable. IF you're going there for a conference or event in the attached mill space - it is super convenient. The ONLY negative I would like to mention is the nearby freight TRAIN line. They SOUND their horns passing by including overnight. I imagine the sound is more muffled on the opposite side of the hotel but we were on the canal side (where the railroad tracks run). IF I ever get back to Amana, I will still stay here.

It was a perfect blend of past and present. Amana is an amazing little town with great food and plenty to discover.

This is a beautiful and spacious property. The setting is quiet, yet close to all of the shopping in the Amana colonies. The property, common areas and rooms are impeccably clean and well kept. The food isn't great but it is convenient to have food service in the hotel. They have a poor ordering system. Food orders have to go through the front desk and they are already very busy. There should be a designated food service employee, familiar with the menu, who takes phone orders from guests of the hotel. The front desk didn't know what came with the sandwiches, what kind of pop they offer, where to go to collect the food, they do not offer room service. You have to go down and find someone to pay and find someone to get your beverages and find someone else who knows where the food pick up is. Then, the order is wrong, the food is put together in a sloppy way and it is cold even though we waited for 15 more minutes to get it. There were no other customers. They need an organized system with designated food personnel, a quality control procedure, a detailed menu which clearly specifies what food and drink are offered, what side dishes are included, and a timing system that allows both meals to come out to the customer at the same time, a better time estimate of when a customer can come down for the food and pick it up rather than wait 20 minutes longer than the time the front desk specified. We will definitely stay here again, but we will probably not order food again.

Since my husband is diabetic this is a problem. He had to go to bakery which is not good for diabetic, if we had known we could have brought something acceptable for him. Otherwise a lovely stay.

The sandwich was inedible. And, the poor waitress was working alone so we didn't get our drinks until we had eaten a few of of our fries and were ready to leave. We will skip the restaurant next visit. But, we love the hotel!
