Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We got there later at night. No lights to see our room number. Bed was stiffer than the floor. No extra blankets. One thin comforter. Thank god my husband and I brought blankets. The walls so thin that we couldn't sleep because of whoever was next to us was loud. TV kept cutting in and out. Hot water did not stay hot very long. After a long day of driving it was a pure disappointment considering all we wanted to do is relax in comfort. Also not having an onsite person to get a hold of is very inconvenient.

Loved that this was pet friendly and secluded. Beautiful views and the outdoor spaces were excellent. There was fire wood for a fire, and even grills to grill food. Would have loved to stay longer and will definitely be returning.

This place has its quirks--it's an old motel that's been well renovated, but don't expect it to have the smoothed-over slickness of a fancy chain motel. Look at the photos, and you'll know what to expect. What it does have going for it is an unrivaled view of the Mississippi from high atop a bluff and lovely places to sit outdoors.

We loved everything about the place. The view is spectacular along with the sitting area to enjoy this hidden treasure. We did run into a problem getting into our room. after calling the number on the office door several times we finally received a call with our code and room number. We waited around for an hour and were on our way out to find another place to stay when Susie called us back. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Charming little motel. Clean rooms, comfy bed and stocked with soap and shampoo etc. We felt safe, dead bolts, code locks and well lit at night. View was amazing. If I ever need to return to Iowa I would not hesitate to stay here again. Staff was helpful and friendly. Felt like a cabin not a motel (we were in the King and Queen Suite)
