The hotel is wonderful. The only thing I would recommend is that they don't get us breakfast from Walmart and invest in more name brand yogurts and other breakfasts to match the vibe of the hotel.

The Decker Hotel is an amazing place. Like going back in history. The antique decor and old pictures of the place are great. We had a spacious room with a jacuzzi and a four-poster king size bed. Located right in downtown Maquoketa and walking distance to shops, restaurants and the brewery.

One would choose to stay here for the charm and experience of being in an old hotel. We got kind of a "double room" on the 3rd floor which was fine AND the elevator worked great. The owner was quite attentive and helpful.

The breakfast was nothing very special-granola bars, bananas, cold cereal and no coffee. The manager was very friendly and always asking if everything was ok. A unique, over 100 year old hotel, beautiful lobby and woodwork everywhere.

We love history and this hotel is awesome from an historical viewpoint. If you need a coffee maker in the room, our room did not. If you need a couch this room doesn’t have one. If you want awesome ambiance with a beautiful slice of history, I highly recommend this hotel. Not much of a breakfast, but don’t miss the City Limit restaurant just on the edge of town!

Worth a trip to Maquoketa, IA just to stay at the Decker Hotel. Charming, historic property at reasonable rates. Serve yourself breakfast was minimal but understandable given the cost. The faithful restoration lets you go back in time while still having modern comforts like central air and updated bathroom. We would go back.

Not as many amenities as others, and the hotel itself is old and being upgraded. Elevator and lighting could both be modernized. Definitely worth the money we paid and the manager could not have been nicer! PS: we didn’t see any ghosts!

This hotel has the sweetest staff and the owner is very attentive! I struggle with sleep, however this bed was so comfortable, I instantly fell asleep and remained asleep. I woke up extremely well rested. I also got married during my stay. The room was beautiful and well lit, offering the perfect space to get ready for the big day.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our stay here was ok. Room was clean and comfortable. It was very cool to stay in a peace of history with the hotel being from late 1800s. But when we booked the hotel there was a restaurant and bar that were supposed to be open and they were not, and were not notified. Just go somewhere for breakfast instead of the hotels. Also the gentleman running the place could not speak English, so it was hard to communicate. Overall we would stay here again. It is right in town, you can walk anywhere and your 15min from the caves.

Room was clean and pleasant. Desk person unusual, hovered when I was in lobby area waiting to be picked up by friend. English was passable. I checked out early by 2 days and have yet to receive a credit for those days as was charged full 7 days when arrived. Desk person seemed confused when I checked out early as if unsure what to do. Overall , not bad considering choices in area are very slim.
