This seems like a nice hotel but be warned about their cancellation policy. We were planning a trip for this summer but had to cancel the reservation due to some conflicts. We were reserving the entire hotel for the majority of a week and put down a $2000+ deposit. I canceled the reservation a full five months before the check... More

My husband and I stayed at the Woodruff Hotel last October and could not have been happier with our stay there. The rooms are very quaint,comfortable, elegantly decorated, cozy and clean. The location is the best in Nauvoo and the view from our room was amazing with the Temple just across the street. I would recommend this hotel to anyone... More

We splurged on this room in Nauvoo this summer. The room was great for our family of 7. It was beautifully decorated, big comfortable beds, and best of all, it was actyually in Nauvoo!! We loved being able to walk across to the temple or down the street for frozen yogurt in the evening. It was great to come back... More

We arrived on a Sat night and booked room by phone as there was no staff on duty-they left key in mailbox for us-we thought we were in Zion Mercantile but after wandering around found we were in Woodruff. I was disappointed that there was no where to get ice or water in the building and by 900 pm everything... More

We arrived in Nauvoo late and had a hard time finding a place that had any openings. The man that we spoke with went above and beyond to make sure that we had a place to stay for the night. He was able to get us a room, helped take our luggage to our room, and even helped set up... More

We had a similar experience as Jon P. We booked on line for a weekend get away. The place sounded great! ( ON LINE) We have stayed in restored hotels before, so decided to splurge and get a "Premier Guest Room" in the restored Woodruff Hotel. When we arrived, there was no hotel desk at the hotel, we needed to... More

My wife and I spent one night at the Woodruff hotel in late May. It is a little confusing because we arrived after hours and figured out that we needed to go across the courtyard to get our key and then walk back, but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in the room. It is a very old, restored... More

I had pulled up this hotel while searching a B&B website for bed and breakfasts in Nauvoo Illinois - a last-minute getaway. This B&B popped up and, without further research, I booked a room for one night. My mistake! We arrived mid-afternoon on Saturday and found out that we were not booked in the bed and breakfast that was shown... More

We had never traveled to Nauvoo before and I was nervous about where to stay because I really wanted a clean, nice hotel room for my family. The woodruff hotel exceeded all of my expectations! The rooms were very clean and neat, the beds were comfortable, and the suite was spacious and roomy. The best part was the awesome view... More

We arrived in Nauvoo late after driving for 18 hours straight. It was late we were needless to say exhausted and we needed to rest. We found our key waiting for us and we crashed in our corner room in the Woodruff hotel. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding and room were very clean. The room was cool... More
