I had a certificate to use for a discounted stay at Anderson House so, since I had President's Day off and needed to be in Wabasha for work the next day anyway, I thought it was a great time to stay there. Making the reservation was a little confusing since someone was supposed to email me codes to get in the front door and to my actual room door, but I didn't get that email, so I called that same reservation phone number earlier on the day of my stay and the woman I talked to was very nice in giving me that code. I DID find out that no staff would be there during my stay and that is why I needed the code ahead of time. I had previously lived in Wabasha and had been in the hotel when they used to serve homemade Dutch food and a really great bread tray, so I was interested to see how much it had changed through time. It mostly looked the same except the dining room was now a lounge/game area on the first floor. I opened my room, room 2, and found the bedding on the floor so I called the same woman who gave me the code and she was very nice and accommodating and gave me a different room, room 15 on the 2nd floor, which was decorated really nicely. I didn't see anyone else in the hotel so I asked if there were other people who would be staying and she said no, so I was in that big hotel by myself, which was fine with me. Shortly after I got there, I went online to see if the hotel was haunted due to it being so old and it said that it was but while I was there, nothing ghostly happened to me except for clunking noises in the night, which I attributed to radiator functioning and the pipes in such an old establishment. When I got up to leave, the desk in the hallway across from my room had a little notebook where people could write about their experiences and most were very positive and I did see a few where they thought they had a ghostly experience but what they described was pretty minor. I heard the main door of the building open and someone came up the steps and it was the housekeeper, Connie, and we had a delightful chat. She said over the weekend, almost all of the rooms were full and she thought she had made the bed in my original room but must have missed that one. I was able to look into most of the rooms there since the doors were open and it was really wonderful to see how different they all were and how nicely and individually they all were decorated. I actually love the creaky hallway floors because you know, then, that they are original to the building even though there is carpeting over the top of them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone for a really unique stay. I DO miss the cats in the cat room, though, and see that they made that room into a sauna room, but I think a lot of people would be delighted with that amenity even though I didn't use it. Good luck on all who decide to go there for their own wonderful stay. I think you will like it!
