Not worth the stay

The hotel was in the middle of updating flooring. My room had new wood laminate flooring. But the bed was horrible and pillows flat. Sheets were discolored. I would say dry mopping the new floor does not constitute clean. There were dirt stains on the floor. The giant cobweb in the bathroom makes me thinks no one looks up beyond the tub. Shower curtian was disgustingly orange. Refrigerator was not clean. Dead bugs inside. Exterior security doors were non functioning. Be aware of pet fees and there is no housekeeping, you have to ask for it. Would stay here again if it was last motel on the planet.

Terrible place

Booked on hotels.com and when i got there they said they didnt have our reservation, so we didnt have a place to stay. The place reeked of smoke as we entered. I rang the service bell multiple times over 5 plus minutes without any service. Was offered a room that had a broken shower as an option.

Maquoketa reunion

One good thing was that the bed was comfortable. My room had carpeting and it was filthy. There were stains in several places. There was no blow dryer, no iron, no ironing board, and the air conditioning unit was not efficient at all. The bathroom floor was dirty, especially in the corners. So glad I had slippers! The breakfast consisted of cereal, milk, over cooked eggs, and several loaves of bread. There was cream cheese in the refrigerator, but no bagels. There was enough V8 to take care of every guest, if you like drinking that. They did have yogurt and coffee. Good thing there is a McDonald’s next-door. I understand that people like/need to bring their dogs, and it did accommodate them, but guest should keep their dogs quiet. At midnight when you’re trying to sleep, the last thing you want to hear is a dog running down the hallway, barking, and guests who don’t know how to whisper. I will say that the location was convenient.
Bathroom corner
Around the shortest toilet I’ve ever seen
Edge of the bed. Don’t tell me that housekeeping did not see it.

Not the worst got what we paid for

A 3/4 full bottle of water was left on the desk and a towel hung behind the bathroom door. Otherwise the room was clean and in good shape. WiFi although offered was unusable and low cellular signal from Verizon. Breakfast was passable first morn at 9 am no eggs and 3 sausage links along with cereal, milk, juice and breaks was available. Door close loudly other guests leaving around 6 am both mornings would wake us with the doors slamming closed. I would stay again overall. I do keep low standards for hotels as I pay As little as I can when staying in one.

This hotel was dirty, the staff was rude. Our AC took forever to work and the room was hot and wet. The carpet was filthy and wet. The shower had pubic hair all over the walls. The sheets were stained and used, we slept in sleeping bags. Just overall disgusting we booked two nights and left after one night as quickly as possible.. do NOT stay here.

The room was ok. The locks on going into the building were not functioning. There was thermostat, which I assume was old hanging off of the wall, and there was a dirty washcloth left on the hanging bar by the sink. The room was not fancy but decent enough to sleep.

It was nice there was several places to eat with in walking distance. And a grocery store less than a block away. What I was disappointed with was the room was not finished from the renovation that was going on and one of the beds box was covered in blood and wound could not lock the dead bolt. And after the first of two nights are keys needed reactivated.

Staff was friendly which is the best thing I can say. . However the property is very outdated. Musty smell, warped floor in the hallway. Our room was passable for one night but my relative’s room was horrible with holes in the carpet and wall and an anthill in the carpet. No coffee made in the breakfast area at 7:30 am. I would not stay again.
