“A few
years
ago I
did
sideline
work for
a local
travel
agency.
I truly
enjoyed
the one
day
tours
when I
could
venture
to new
places
I’d
never
seen
before.
One day
our tour
took us
to West
Bend,
Iowa. I
could
hardly
believe
it when
the bus
pulled
up to
the
Grotto
of
Redemption. I was
even
more
flabbergasted
when we
toured
where
Butter
Braids
are made
in this
small
town.
I
decided
it was a
must to
take my
family
back to
see the
wonderful
Grotto
and
taste
the
Butter
Braids.
When
looking
for
accommodations,
we were
delighted
to find
Park
View Inn
and
Suites.
The
first
time our
entire
family
went
upon
returning
home
from one
of
Sarah’s
doctor
appointments.
We’d
never
stayed
in a
themed
suite
before.
We
decided
to try
their
Safari
Suite.
It is
fantastic!
This
two-room
suite
includes
a corner
whirlpool
and one
king
sized
bed. The
suite
has a
living
room
with a
sofa
sleeper.
The
walls
are
decorated
in a
safari
theme,
reflected
through
paintings
by local
artists
and
pictures
by a
local
photographer
while
working
as a
missionary
in
Kenya.
This
time we
wanted
to try a
different
suite to
see what
else was
available.
They
have a
public
pool and
hot tub,
so we
chose
the
Hunting
Suite.
The
hunting
and
fishing
theme
was
right up
‘my’
hunter
and
fisherman’s alley!
This
two-room
suite
with a
fireplace
and two
queen
sized
beds
also
includes
a sofa
sleeper,
table,
two
chairs,
high-speed
internet
access,
two
televisions,
26” and
21”,
with
extended
cables,
microwave,
refrigerator,
hair
dryer,
iron and
ironing
board
and two
telephones.
This
entire
suite
measures
to 18’x
13’10”
(490
square
feet) to
allow
for
maximum
comfort
and
value.
When we
booked
it the
kids
couldn’t
decide
if they
were
coming
or not.
It ended
up just
being
Kevin
and I.
However,
would
have
been the
perfect
size for
all four
of us
even
though
the kids
have
grown.
The
complimentary
breakfast
was
wonderful.
It is
located
just one
block
from the
Grotto.
Food is
located
at the
Grotto
for
lunch
and
further
down the
street
are even
more
options
for
evening
meals.
Just 18
miles
away in
nearby
Algona
is the
Camp
Algona
POW
Museum
which is
also a
historical
MUST
SEE.
This may
be a
small
set of
communities
but it
is ‘big’
on
quality,
family
entertainment.
Truly an
Incredible
Gem with
it’s
roots at
the
wonderful
Park
View Inn
and
Suites
for a
relaxing
and most
enjoyable
stay.”
