Worked for my needs. Would stay again.

Location close to town. Room was very clean and well kept. Staff very friendly.

− Property was in the middle of a renovation. Parts of the facility were closed off. Breakfast was held in a tiny room where you also check in. I realize this will be done at some point in time. I thought the rate was a bit pricey for not being a major town. My hotel in the big city of Des Moines had a rate less expensive than this facility.

consider staying elsewhere if you can

The staff were very helpful and considerate, especially Sue.

− All windows were covered with film so there was no view. The entire hotel was undergoing renovation so the outside light on the west side was not working. When I took my dog out for the last time at night, I was approached in pitch black by a stranger which shook me up completely as there was NO one around - staff left hotel at 9 pm so no staff around. Charging $40 for a pet was outrageous considering the renovation and overall it was very expensive for what you get - no pool, spa, or even around any conveniences.

Great place to host us while we were in town to tour covered bridges, John Wayne Museum, and the wonderful town square o

I liked this little hotel overall. It was quiet, really clean, and in a great spot. I really like the key code door entry system versus having to carry a key. Very convenient. I appreciated the cart of “extras” setting in the lobby since it wasn’t staffed. I was able to pick up the extra towel and wash clothes I knew I would need for my stay as well as other supplies were available. Considering we were told before booking that the hotel was undergoing re-model, I was shocked at how clean and neat our room, the lobby and the stairways were! I couldn’t tell whether my room had been remodeled or not, except the pictures indicated the rooms were going to the vinyl wood-plank flooring. I thought the carpets in the stairwells and rooms was plenty clean and comfortable. Check out was super easy on Sunday morning.

− I was a little disappointed it didn’t offer any travel brochures about the covered bridges or provide any information about the covered bridge app since it was called “Covered Bridge Inn”. I arrived just after the front desk closed, so calling in to get my entry code was not a bad way to go. I was disappointed that the breakfast room only had two sets of table/chairs, but ultimately that’s all it needed. Very disappointed the room only had one chair at the table in the room. (We moved the table to the bed so I used the side of the bed for my chair.) Could have bacon as a breakfast meat option, but otherwise breakfast was a surprise! I thought when I booked this hotel did not offer breakfast, and at check in, they said they offered a continental breakfast. So that was great!

A quaint place to stay. Breakfast was good with a variety of food.

− Needed plugs by both beds.
