Alumni House

To check availability or make a reservation, please email us at alumnihouse@winona.edu or call the Alumni House Coordinator at 507-457-2978.  The Alumni House does not have a 24/7 desk operation, so if you are not able to reach the Alumni House Coordinator when you call, please leave a message and they will return your call as soon as possible.  As the Alumni House becomes increasingly popular, we ask that reservations be made in advance.  Peak times, such as Homecoming, Family Weekend, and Graduation Weekend fill up fast.  Be sure to contact us to secure your reservation!    

We will attempt to honor all reservation requests however, same day requests may be difficult to accommodate because of short notice.

Guests of the Alumni House must be affiliated with Winona State University.

Rates are $25.00/person per night. 

Children at the house: Please note that we do not have equipment to accommodate the housing of young children and that the house is not child-proofed for their safety. For liability issues, we cannot allow guests under the age of 5. We apologize for the inconvenience.

There are four guest bedrooms on the second floor of the Alumni House.  Rooms A and D have one, full-size bed, while rooms B and C have two twin-size beds.  Rooms A and B have an adjoining bathroom.  There is a common bathroom on 2nd floor for all guests to use as well.  Each room consists of bed(s), closet, alarm clock and TV.  Sheets, towels and washcloths are provided, however, guests are responsible for their own toiletries.

There is no room service, however, there is staff in the Alumni House who can be contacted, if needed.  With each room reservation, guests will receive one parking pass.  Guest parking is available in the driveway.  Overnight guests are welcome to use the first floor facilities (kitchen, dining room, living room with TV) during their stay.  The first floor does need to be reserved separately from the guest bedrooms, so if there is an event going on during your stay, we ask that you are respectful to others using the facilities.  If you would like to reserve the first floor facilities with your overnight request, please include that information  in your initial reservation inquiry. 

Check-in begins at 2:00pm on week days and 5:00pm on weekends.  Keys can be picked up at the front desk of Kirkland Hall (223 W Mark Street).  If you arrive after 11pm (7pm on weekends), you will need to contact a staff member to get your key.  Contact information will be posted at the entrance of Kirkland Hall.

Check-out is by 11:00am; keys can be returned in drop box at the Alumni House.

Any student club/organization, staff, faculty, retiree or alumni can request to use the first floor of the Alumni House for a meeting or small event.  There is no fee if your group is associated with Winona State University to use the first floor.  Contact us to check availability.
