Nice motel reasonably priced

Rather noisy (not the fault of the motel) late at night. Check in was a little slow. ( had to wait for desk clerk several minutes.) no big deal it was about 6 PM and she was working alone. All in all very good stay. Will go back.

When I got there the lady at the desk only asked me for my name, had me sign a paper and gave us our key, never asked for an id for proof or anything and she wasn’t very nice. I didn’t know how to connect to the WiFi and the lady at the desk wasn’t very friendly about it and said they don’t got a paceword so I couldn’t get connected to anything so I was very frustrated

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.
