"The best place to stay by far in Red Wing. Centrally located in downtown including adjacent to the Amtrak station which is how we arrived. They also have good bikes for rent - perfect as we didn’t have a car. Well maintained historic facility with interesting old photos, plaques, and artifacts everywhere throughout the building. The early glory of the place remains intact.
The restaurant, Scarlet, is a destination unto itself and open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails, with plenty of outdoor seating, having great views of both the Mississippi and the railroad - perfect for river and train buffs. But this is more than matched by the cuisine, very well prepared by obviously exceptional chefs, presented by a cheerful and knowledgeable waitstaff. We ate there several times, each was excellent and all dishes had a little twist beyond what would be expected.
There are some other places to eat downtown, and others quite a long walk to the west side of town where most motels are clustered, (the gap being not a particularly pleasant connection, though eventually, Red Wing might make this better).
The hotel is a bit pricey for a small town but a good example of “you get what you pay for”. The rooms are very nice, if I have one quibble, it would be the tiny single soap, shampoo, and conditioner squeeze packages provided - these are something more inline with a Motel 6 than a grand hotel."
