We enjoyed our 4 day stay at the Cornerstone Inn. It was a perfect home-base for us while we were in the area for a family wedding. We appreciated the friendly staff, cleanliness, and the simple and convenient breakfast buffet each morning.

This hotel was perfect for our stay. It is centrally located to Oelwein downtown so we were able to walk to our event and the downtown area. They served a nice hot breakfast. They aslo have a washer and dryer that we did not discover until we left but that was a nice added bonus.
