The room was spotless so clean but they need to fix up the building on the outside and some better towels ours were like hand towels in size for bathing.

This place has its quirks--it's an old motel that's been well renovated, but don't expect it to have the smoothed-over slickness of a fancy chain motel. Look at the photos, and you'll know what to expect. What it does have going for it is an unrivaled view of the Mississippi from high atop a bluff and lovely places to sit outdoors.

We loved everything about the place. The view is spectacular along with the sitting area to enjoy this hidden treasure. We did run into a problem getting into our room. after calling the number on the office door several times we finally received a call with our code and room number. We waited around for an hour and were on our way out to find another place to stay when Susie called us back. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Charming little motel. Clean rooms, comfy bed and stocked with soap and shampoo etc. We felt safe, dead bolts, code locks and well lit at night. View was amazing. If I ever need to return to Iowa I would not hesitate to stay here again. Staff was helpful and friendly. Felt like a cabin not a motel (we were in the King and Queen Suite)

The property was in an excellent area with an outstanding view. The check in process wasn't ideal but I don't know if that was an issue with CheapTickets or the property. I received a text the day before asking for my email to get check in instructions. They had my phone number so my email address was there also. Fortunately there was a very nice lady there who got the room code for us. 2 other minor issues were the fire pit. The wood and everything needed to start a fire was either wet or non existent. I was a little disappointed that when I called I was eventually told " I don't know what you want me to say". The other issue was the size of the bath towels. They were just big enough for a child. But other than that we enjoyed our stay. One other question. Where could I get the eagle pillow cases and bedspread?

A gem on the hill

Do yourself a favour: on your way to the Motel, stop at the Kwik Star and get some snacks and your favorite beverage. Get to the hotel, check in with the friendly, knowledgeable staff, then take your snacks and beverages to the overlook. You'll be there for a while. A long while. Cute, clean, quiet, AMAZING view that you'd never expect in Iowa. Well worth the visit.
