I love staying here for work. Staff is always friendly. The room is always clean. This last time there was a guy yelling in his room late at night, but that is not the hotels fault and it is usually very quiet which is rare for hotels.

I had hoped for a more historic ambiance. While the lobby and bar area were charming, our room was quite small with what appeared to be a full-sized bed and modern wood linoleum flooring—I was expecting classic wooden floors. Additionally, our window faced directly into another room, so we had to keep it closed for privacy. Overall, it didn’t meet my expectations.

Historical clean but some issues
Free parking lot out front. Very well preserved historical elements but great air conditioning and clean. Service was hit or miss as there is no dedicated desk position. Lots of noise from adjoining room due to thin door with large gap beneath. Would stay again.

Choose here and i doubt youll regret the choice. Bar and restaurant downstairs and food snd drinks both can be brought up to your room. For small towns in Iowa very frw have an original hotel built over 100 years ago is still standing and suprisingly nice. Service from restaurant can be great or sloe depending on whos working.
