Adrian, the owner, was a prince. They do not have assessible rooms, but he accomodatwd me the best he could. He went to my room with ice and had my room cooled by its AC before i arrived.. I had fallen the second day away from hotel and he assisted me the next day upon my departure. He came to my rooom without requesting him and packed my things into the car. He then went to the gas station to pump my gas. Never have I had such kind, considerate treatment from motel personnel. He thanked me for leaving my room in order and with little mess. Its a true small town, no frills, trditionak motel. Parking space in front of your unit,, refridge, microwave, good TV. People who had boats had a parking space. You could sit on the sidewalk outside your room and enjoy the Iowa evening. No phone in room, so use your cell. Charming!

A very large improvement over the last time I stayed there. My son wanted to try it as it is a few dollars cheaper, and I was pleasantly surprised.
