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.

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Hotel Ottumwa has so much potential but unfortunately was not a place I would recommend. The staff are very friendly but many times the reception is totally empty and a person has to wait 5-10 minutes before someone assists you. This becomes quite a hassle since the keycards for the rooms never work and one is constantly having to ask for them to be fixed so that you can get into the room. Once you walk towards your room the hallways reek of cigarettes. And unfortunately the rooms are not too much better. The beds are clearly old and not comfortable to sleep on and if you are sensitive to smells you will walk out with a headache. I didn’t once have warm water when wanting to shower and the water pressure was terrible. Unfortunately I would not recommend this property if asked.

Unique and beautiful, also great breakfast. Nice to hear the locals talk in the morning. Wish the cafe space was still open, but hope it comes back someday. The place itself just needs updated carpet and maybe fresh wallpaper. I did enjoy my stay and will continue to come back Good prices and great time.
