I missed opportunity
We booked a room but when we got there no one was there to check us in. I called a number and it was a service that told us how to “self check in” and they would have the inn keeper contact us. We went to our room and the light switch didn’t work and there were dead insects in the window and the bed was very hard. We didn’t bring our things in but instead went for dinner and came back a couple of hours later no one was in the inn at all. The place was empty. No one had called us. So we decided we would not stay. The exterior of the inn looked unkept with many weeds and some trash. The inside looked looked much better other than what we saw in our room.

We spent three nights at the Willard Rchards Inn this week. We had a wonderful experience! This inn is a part of historic Nauvoo. We loved our room and the detached bathroom. ( It added to the ambiance.) The breakfasts were amazing every morning. The innkeeper did a wonderful job and shared with us the special history of the home. She did lots of little things for us to make our stay even better.

We loved our stay at the Willard Richards Inn. This was the perfect place to stay because so much was walkable in Old Nauvoo. Not only was the Inn historic the breakfasts were wonderful as was the innkeeper. There aren’t a lot of food options in Nauvoo but that huge breakfast held us until dinner! Also- we appreciated the complimentary sodas and waters. We will definitely book here again on our next stay.

The Inn was just what we were looking for. It was a historical home with lots of character. We loved gathering with the rest of our party in the parlor and loved the homemade breakfast each morning. The only draw backs were the stairs because we don't do stairs we'll. And not having the bathroom attached to the room.
