Not a pleasant stay!
Initially we were favorably impressed. After 3 nights our opinion changed. This was a great hotel in its prime but has since fallen on hard times! Understaffed with maid services only every other day. Employees are not trained properly making things chaotic. Bathroom drains did not drain. No decaffeinated coffee! Procedures for free breakfast convoluted! Would love to see the hotel survive but don’t see how that can happen!🥲☹️

I was under the impression renovations had been done but the rooms were still outdated, the elevator sounds like it is giving out. They did have a "new" lobby cafe which was 3 booths pulled from the old 2nd street cafe and plopped into the lobby & looks out of place. I love the history of the property, but like most of Ottumwa it is worn down & needs some TLC.

I didn’t like the fact I could smell cigarette smoke in one of the other rooms on the floor I was on, that continued through my whole stay. Another thing that irked me was at approximately 8:30 am housekeeping attempted to gain access to my room luckily it was locked with the latch device, I came to the door to see who it was and she said “I’ll be back in a few seconds” not even an apology, and besides check out is not until 11am according to what I read, so why rush people out?

Date night success
Nice stay in a very old building. Staff was great. Beds could be updated as it sagged in the middle but overall it was a very pleasant stay. Hot water took a long time to heat up but I assume it had something to do with both we were in the very last room on the very top floor so it takes a while to make the trip up from the hot water heater and also the hotel was very busy that night. Overall though the stay was great and the free breakfast was amazing.
