Very good

Very small rooms. We had a four day stay and when we asked for the room to be cleaned we had to go down to the lobby to pick up the towels. They don’t make beds That bothered me. Bathroom is 2 feet away from bathroom. So if one of us went to the bathroom, the light would wake you or the sound of piss hitting into the toilet. Won’t be returning there

TV remote didn’t work—needed new batteries. Hair dryer didn’t work. Hot water not hot.
The hotel was very nostalgic and was like a trip back in time. Food was great and the staff was friendly. The elevator was very slow and there was no desk in the room, but that was part of the old time charm.
Only real negative was the ice machine was noisy and my room was right next to it.
I will stay there again.
Wonderful staff at front desk. Lobby Cafe food was delicious. Room was okay for just an overnight stay and not expensive.

Budget travelers dream
Bed was comfortable, water was hot, plenty of space, and the free breakfast was cooked to order! We were competely satisfied! Can’t beat the price with BF included. There’s a bar next door with great pizza too! I’d recommend for the budget traveler.
Stayed here before, will likely stay here again, but was disappointed in the smell of the elevator, the tiles in our hotel room bathroom were lifting up, and the couch had a huge stain on it. It's a beautiful hotel with lots of history, so I hope for a grant, or Gordon Ramsey, because it could be just as beautiful again.

Breakfast was almost nothing! they put us in the annex.
Front desk and food service staff were great! Decided to extend my stay and the manager adjusted my nightly rate accordingly, which saved money, and was much appreciated.
Nice hotel, stayed just one night to rest midway on our way to Missouri - arrived late and check in was smooth. Room was clean, beds super comfy. Breakfast was included in the morning which was good. Would definitely stay here again!
I was pleased that, after accidentally leaving my watch in my room after checking out, it was mailed to me at my home address. A pleasant stay in Ottumwa!
