Check in was friendly, helpful, and easy. Room was very clean. A suggestion would be to have instructions on how to run TV. We are older and not savvy with electronics. Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Would stay again if in the area.

Despite a very professional and accommodating staff, sadly, the motor Lodge is very few amenities. There was not a coffee pot nor and iron or ironing board. Both of which, I commonly need when I travel. That said the staff was awesome.

Updated, clean, plenty of parking, firm mattress, efficient staff. Good value. Sure, the outside is a 1960's vibe, but it has been very well kept and updated. Coffee is right next door at Casey's!

For an economy stay, the lodging was sufficient. No frills, updated, clean, basic. Mini fridge, microwave, air cond, tv. Decent price. Like an old fashioned motel with rooms in a row with individual doors for each room. 1 level. Staff nice, accommodating, and helpful.

It was the only property available in Stewart iowa. The door to my room obviously had been run into by a car or truck and did not fit the door frame. The air conditioner did not work they did not have an ice machine. Did ladies at the counters were very helpful but I don't think I'll ever stay there again

Towels were harsher than I am used to using and small. There is no breakfast and the TV did not work, but the place was spotless, from the parking lot to the shower. I'm going to use this hotel again in a few weeks.

The room was very clean. There is plenty of parking, and you can park right next to your room. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic. The refrigerator and TV didn't work. The flusher on the toilet was wobbly and felt like it would break at every flush. The pillows are very thin. Because we were only staying one night and the price was very low, those inconveniences were minor things.
