Staying at the Willard Richards Inn was definitely a highlight of our stay in Nauvoo. The Innkeeper was most gracious and shared with us lots of historical tidbits about the home of Willard Richards. A home where Joseph Smith and Brigham Young frequented often. It is located in the heart of historic Nauvoo, just kitty-corner to the Nauvoo Temple. We... more

Our stay at the Willard Richards Inn was by far our most favorite stay we have ever encountered! The warmth and friendliness you meet at the door is like visiting your relatives! Our room was warm and inviting, the food was excellent and the night time activities around the table playing games or watching our favorite television show wrapped in... more

Karen was gracious and friendly and made us feel so welcome. She seemed to think of everything we could want--from hot chocolate when we came in from the chill and windy evening to a wide variety of great breakfast choices. There were three of us in our group. We each had a charming, inviting, comfortable room. Two of us had... more

My wife and I came to Nauvoo to rest and relax together. We couldn't have planned anything better than what we experienced at the Willard Richard Inn. It was clean, the beds were outstanding, it was quiet, and our host - wow! She exceeded anything we could have anticipated in terms of making our stay positive and memorable. The continental... more

We appreciated the friendly hospitality of the innkeeper at the Willard Richards Inn, her helpfulness in making our visit to Nauvoo memorable and our stay at the Inn comfortable. We thought the bed was the comfy-est ever and wished we could have stayed longer to soak up the peace and quiet of the Inn and all the historical sites of... more

The bedrooms were clean, and well kept, and they also had a great french toast breakfast. The beds were some of the best I have ever slept in. I highly recommend this inn to anyone who wants to have a great time in Nauvoo. more

We had been excited to stay at the Willard Richards Inn from what we had read and seen on their web site, but were extremely disappointed and will never stay there again. It was billed as a luxury accomodation and it was anything but that. The towels were small and thin, the soap was tiny and cheap, and there was... more

In May 2008, we stayed at the Willard Richards Inn in Nauvoo and had mixed reviews. We were in The Reimbold Room which was very nice. The room and bathroom were very comfortable and the room was cozy, private and had a very historic feel to it. Overall the Inn was lovely, clean and had beautiful furnishings. Our room was... more

I think it's cool the place itself is historical and is among all the other historic buildings right on the flats! Seriously, I could walk to everything I wanted to see in nauvoo in two minutes! The innkeepers were very friendly and hospitable. I have never slept in a more comfortable room anywhere. I would recommend this place to anyone. more

When we were in Nauvoo we stayed at this place for the first night before there was room at the Inn at Nauvoo. We were sad to go because it was so nice. Although we loved the place we went to, we really enjoyed this hotel. You can see the Temple from your window. Each Morning they have a wonderful... more
