We were looking for a place to stay near the acttivities at the Bridge festival. This was exactly what we wanted. The building is a bit dated but is in good condition and the employees were all very nice and helpful.

Comfortable place to stay
Room was very clean, it had a recent renovation. New flooring, paint, microwave, refrigerator, comfortable beds. The big plus for us is it is pet friendly, we always travel with our small hypoallergic dog. Plenty of space to take her out to potty, yes, we cleaned up after her. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay there again. Winterset is a nice, clean small town with a lot to offer. Enjoyed all the touristy sites.

OK, But A Better Breakfast Would Be Better!
We have stayed at this hotel many times. It's not fancy but it is clean and predictable. We were in Winterset for the Covered Bridge Festival with a large family group. Half of us stayed here, half at the only other hotel in town, the Cobblestone Inn. Cobblestone Inn was a slight upgrade at a slightly higher price, but it had a much better breakfast!

Minor problem two lights out I changed bulbs but they still were out. Not a big deal. Beautiful spot a block away from busy road close to town with a covered bridge just down the Inn’s road. Coffee and a light breakfast we’re good. I would stay here again.

If these people want to remodel this hotel, then close it down and do it. You should be ashamed of yourself to be associated with this hotel! The room was dark and dirty. There was a mattresses and recliners and end tables and lamps and what else in the hallway! The outside had old airconditioners units and tv's under the canopy, could not drive through it. The two smal round tables with two chairs each was not sufficient for the people there. Plus the breakfest was a joke! A danish in a package, This was such a dump. We should sue for false advertising!! It was not fit for even an over night. But...it is what I booked through you and after driving ten hous we needed a break. Should not have had to pay at all for this service!!

Manager was very nice and place was clean. Condition looked older and beds were comfortable but ours had a huge sinkhole in one side, maybe spring missing. If I were the owner I would put some money into the property and update anything that looks worn or has old holes in it where something was removed.

Super clean and quiet. In the middle of remodeling, so some clutter is OK, but an old toilet near an entrance is a bit off-putting.
