Beyond that, very clean, roomy, and nice staff. Great value! Last, the hotel directory lists a Pizza Ranch that delivers. It doesn't deliver to the hotel, because it is 50 miles away. They will take your order with no intention of delivering. Hotel staff knows this, but has not corrected the books.

Another review mentioned the very slippery floors surrounding the pool - they are right. The fireplace in our room didn't work, the windows were indeed gross, and the mirrors clearly hadn't been cleaned. Additionally we had inconsiderate and loud neighbors early in the morning, but that's not the hotels fault. They kept opening and slamming the door for some reason. Overall we had a fine time, the bed and king suite jacuzzi were nice, and we'd come here again if ever needed.

My room was clean and comfortable and a little nicer than I expected for $105. Free breakfast was lovely with fresh food and reasonable variety. Check out was efficient and the staff was friendly. There was plenty of parking and it was really easy to get to from the freeway and it was easy to get back on the road. I anticipate once my kid starts school I'll be making this trip a few times a year and I'll try to make sure I always stay here. I've been avoiding Wyndham for several years after a really horrible experience in Kansas City, but this place made me glad I reconsidered my total Wyndham ban.

I generally liked it a lot. It was conveniently located and was everything I needed in a place to…read morestay. Also the breakfasts were good and the downstairs area was quite nice. The upstairs hallways and rooms were a little disappointing in terms of niceness, but everything I needed was there. I would give it 4 stars based on the above. However, I had some problems with my door code to get in on the first day. When I called to get it worked out, the employee gave me the master code. Obviously, yes, I wanted into the building and my room. But it's never acceptable for a guest at a hotel to have a code for other rooms. If relying on a locking system like this, there needs to be a secure way to solve problems without giving out the master code. For this reason, I have to deduct another star.

Here's the low down I messaged on Facebook. There is no customer service number for such problems since they are locally owned. I am not going back to the blond manager - she is mean as a snake. Here's what I sent on Facebook messenger - if only just to make my tired butt feel better. ***** I have had the worst stay at Knoxville Iowa location & the management told me to contact you by finding my own number to contact you. What kind of business are you guys running here? We have 2 rooms checking in yesterday to today - and have had nothing but issues. Dirty towels, broken toilet (non-stop running), family of 10 above us (8 kids - they took up the entire pool & left us the hot tub) no breakfast by 8:41am, loud mattresses and...no $25 gift card as promised by your website when I made the reservations. I have called the reservation line & they told me that I "should" get an email in 48 hours but I AM TIRED. No sleep since 4:30 am. The management was no help at each step. The only thing they helped me with was the dirty towels. This hotel is not even full. The "manager" or blond haired lady told me to find my own customer service online. No compassion for someone who is terribly tired and underserved. We spent over $300 staying here - and need some customer service. Is there any or is this it? My final review - Stay in Pella. It is not that much further & you will get way better service. And...don't fall for any deals made on the website - each site is privately owned & refuses to participate. Caveat Emptor

I wish there were more vegetarian options. Our server was excellent (sorry did not catch her name). But where this place shines is the historic atmosphere of the hotel. I did not stay there but after lunch, Wyatt gave our group a tour of about half dozen unoccupied rooms along with some history of the hotel. There are 40 rooms, each with a different theme reflecting an aspect of Iowa's history. There were originally 77 rooms with only 23 of them with indoor plumbing! The rooms are well-appointed and reasonably priced at an average of $200. I had no idea this gem existed so close to home!

Our room was clean and our window faced an open field. They have a restaurant/bar on the first floor in case you want to eat at the hotel. The continental breakfast was good, and I liked that the hotel only has two floors. It gives off a more personal vibe. There is no elevator, but the stairs were an easy climb to the second floor. The downtown area of Winterset is cute, and two grocery stores are within a mile of the hotel.
