I first started visiting Hastings seven years ago while researching some local history. Because of the nature of my trip, I thought it would be fun to stay in an old house instead of a cookie-cutter chain motel. It was one of the best ideas I’ve... read more

We fell asleep during the "three hour tour" and were shocked and disappointed at the room and the unclean tub. It was sweet of my husband to plan this surprise, but I'll be planning the next one...

Innkeeper Response
We are very sorry that you had an unsatisfactory experience at our inn. We take your comments very seriously as does our entire staff. Although we understand that you exaggerated the length of the tour, we do not ever want guests to feel they have to hear any more of our history or restoration story than what they want. Perhaps you checked in at the same time as guests who were more interested and asked many questions. The primary goal of our orientation is to make you comfortable and at home with the whole inn. So the tour includes the location of the "help yourself goodies" (cookie jar, ice cream, hot and cold beverages) , the common spaces and fireplaces in the parlors, library and the four-season back porch. It you had just rented a room like at a hotel, you would been given a key and pointed to the elevator, but at a B & B , you are welcome to enjoy so much more. We sincerely hope you did enjoy the other amenities here. We see this was your first time at a B & B. We feel equally bad that you did not like your room Since there are photos on the website, we typically help a potential guests choose rooms that they and their partners will like. I am very sorry that it did not suit you. Your comment about an unclean tub is of great concern; we cannot understand how that could have happened as we take the utmost care with our cleaning and have a check and double check system; unfortunately, during your stay, that did not work! We hope you will contact Dick or Pam in order to remedy your concerns. Thank you very much, Dick and Pam and staff

Review Classic Rosewood- A Thorwood Property, Hastings, MN

Photo Album

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Rosewood Inn, located at 620 Ramsey St., Hastings, Minnesota, now welcomes guest as an eight guestroom Bed & Breakfast. The inn, which served as a private home and hospital, was marked for demolition when Innkeepers Pam & Dick Thorsen agreed to restore it. Along with its "sister" inn, Thornwood, the inns have been named "most romantic hideaway" by Mpls.- St.Paul Magazine, and specialize in, as one guest put it, "pampering with privacy." Minnesota Office of Tourism photo.Rosewood parlor with woodburning fireplace, cherry woodwork, access to sitting porch facing rose garden.
private in suite theraputic massages with woodburning fireplaces and double whirlpools in almost all rooms. Five skylights with one above bed and two above teakwood double whirlpool highlight the Mississippi Suite. Leather club chairs and bed focus on the woodburning fireplace.
Double whirlpools and woodburning fireplaces in seven of eight rooms, private dining areas in each suite. The romance of a see through fireplace is evident here in the Vermillion Room. All details here at Classic Rosewood Inn and Spa are about privacy and guest's needs.
