Book Hotels in Olin, IA

"I stay here a couple of times a year. Usually I throughly enjoy my stay but not this time. The staff in the evening and the last 2 day of my stay were fabulous. I did not get maid services even though I asked for them. I had to keep asking for towels and such because I did not have maid services. They did come one day while I was in the shower so I asked them to come later, I think they did but only emptied trash and nothing else. My water was shut off while in the shower a different day, I was told they were trying to fix a problem in another room. They did apologize but that’s about it. One day my keys quit working so again up to the front desk. There were just several things that made this stay frustrating. Oh and Marriott has apparently decided that showers don’t need doors (I’m at another location they have the same set up) and so your legs freeze while in the shower. It’s really hard to shave your legs when they are freezing. So overall I don’t think I’ll be staying at Marriott again."

"Did not eat breakfast"

"I checked in as a solo female traveler visiting family in the area. Upon arrival, there was a large group of men gathered in the lobby. During check-in, the front desk staff announced my room number out loud while handing me my key. This is a basic safety practice most hotels follow, and failing to do so shows a lack of awareness or training when it comes to guest security—especially for those traveling alone. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only issue. The secondary interior lock (swing bar latch) was completely broken off, leaving no added security beyond the deadbolt. The room was also noticeably run down and poorly maintained. The shower had deteriorating, missing caulking, and the closet had an exposed opening where I could see directly into the plumbing and backside of the shower. To add to the frustration, I was disappointed with pool policy. My sister, brother-in-law and their children (ages 2, 9,11) stopped by to play in the pool for 1 hour before dinner. Neither my sister nor I swam, but I was charged $40 for the kids and BIL. They are a local family who have used the hotel’s community room for events and visited other visiting guests at this hotel, guests who never had to pay an additional charge for the pool. It feels like a blatant money grab rather than a reasonable or fair rule. Where does the $10 per person go? Not maintenance! Between safety concerns, poor maintenance, and questionable policies, this stay was disappointing. Would not recommend. "
