    Check in was fine. There was a barrier between the staff and myself but the staff wasn't wearing a mask. We didn't really see anyone else in the hotel besides at the bar at night. The hotel is nice. It seems to be the only hotel downtown. Would stay here again for that reason alone and it's also pet friendly. One issue we did have was from the adjoining room. Since it was only a door between us, noise was definitely an issue. We did call the front desk and they were able to resolve that for us. They have a front and a back entrance, which was nice for parking and bringing in luggage. It is a beautiful hotel and the lobby was very welcoming and warm! Thanks for our stay.

    Historic downtown Decorah hotel. Very elegant and well kept! Loved the feeling of feeling as though we stepped back in time while staying at this hotel. We stayed in a corner room with a very comfy king sized bed and a jacuzzi tub! Definitely a great relaxing room for a getaway. Our only complaints are that the bar had limited hours and was not serving food - we primarily came to stay at this hotel as we heard the restaurant is amazing. They had 3 local beers on tap and some very nice cocktails available. The bartender working was not the friendliest - he seemed annoyed to be working... Just a note - you can get takeout from the local pizza places right by the hotel and they deliver to the bar... so you can still get food.

    Maximum quaintness here. Great service, comfy large room, attached bar and restaurant and all located right down town.

    There is also Restauration Restaurant, which is pricey, but good and comfortable.

    I love the concept of the house, the deck, the pond, the country side. I love all of that about…read morethis place. We had fresh linens and plenty of towels. Now, let me say that I currently live in the country, and was raised in the country (rural upbringing), so I am not afraid of a few bugs, etc. However, the one knock I would give this place was that there weren't any window screens on 90% of the windows. Therefore, I can understand why they were so many flies in the house, both dead and alive. I understand how they got in, but don't really care for the fact that they did get in. Other than that, it was a great getaway. The house and property could use a little maintenance, but the owner was up front about that. Maybe a good suggestion would be for the owner to ask for a list (for customers) of the top three things that they can improve. If left for too long, certain things might get beyond repair. My list: 1) Window screens 2) Deck maintenance 3) Pond scum (install aerator?)

    It took me a year to write this, if that gives you an idea on how terrible this visit was…read more   Where do I begin? We rented this cabin for 2 days at the beginning of August 2022 for a 50th anniversary party.  Prior to arriving, we attempted to reach the property management company several times, they stated they never received any messages.  Upon arrival, the door was unlocked, and we're not convinced it was even cleaned prior to us arriving.   Overall, the location is beautiful, and it is very serene. Now - the biggest issue.  This property is listed on multiple websites for rental.  And each website states something different.  Now, if you look today, they may all match and say the same thing.  However, when it was booked, through VRBO, things were listed very differently.  And, Monday when we "checked in", several websites said one thing, and by Wednesday when we "checked out", they had been changed.  Future renters, you're welcome, we saved you a headache. It was on our listing that linens, towels, and washer/dryer were included.  HA.  NONE of the beds had linens, and the washer and dryer are in the bowels of the basement of the house.  Good luck getting in, it's a Friday the 13th nightmare.    We had 21 people, and arrived to no towels and no linens.  We immediately tried to reach Gabby, left several messages, and she finally responded to a text.  When we spoke with her, the most ridiculous conversation ever ensued, with her stating they do not provide linens and towels, it's after 5 so no one can bring them to us, we can go get them (an hour drive), and IF she can find someone to bring some to us, there will be a fee.   She said it's very clearly stated on their listing - it was not and I have screenshots - and she said "they're not a resort".  We paid over $1000 for two days (during the week no less), you can't tell me that you cannot afford linens.   While we were there, the refrigerator stopped working.  When we spoke with Gabby, she said we were welcome to use the fridge in the basement (you know, the one in the nightmare area), which was only dorm room size., and filthy. I hope for future renter's sake, that this PM company realizes that this is not the way to run a business.  No one travels with linens and towels for 25 people.  You require a cleaning fee, but it was not clean when we arrived, and that fee should include clean linens and towels.  If we could give 0 stars, we would.  Instead of a great time away celebrating an amazing achievement, the anniversary couple felt like it was their fault.  And it absolutely wasn't.   Staying somewhere is always a risk, but this was above and beyond. Thank you, and best of luck. I hope, for the owner's sake, that they have changed their property management company by now. And, if I could leave a review for that company, I would. No one should use them, they are unprofessional.

    The outside was very run down and in desperate need of a renovation…read more That being said, our room was clean, smelled a bit musty (the ice maker had broken down and had a bad leak) and the bed was super comfy, although it slid around a little due to extra curricular activities... The BEST part of my stay was the super sweet little old lady at check in, you could tell this woman cared a lot about her guests and wanted to be sure we were comfortable Our rooms decor was outdated, but not by any means nasty!

    We stayed here for one night on our way through town. When we got there after 4:00pm our room…read morewasn't ready. We had a drink in the bar while we waited (the bar is great and a totally separate owner). We were told it would be 15 minutes for our room but we each had a drink and chatted with the bartender for much longer than that. Our room was still being vacuumed. This place is very run down. The hallways are dark and carpets are stained. Our room did smell clean which is one positive thing I can say about it. The bed was hard and lumpy. The walls are very thin and we would have been kept up all night by the residents there if we hadn't been so exhausted. There is no coffee maker (just the tea bag type of coffee) and the mini-fridge's door didn't close. The clock wasn't plugged in. They did have cable TV and free wi-fi. The residents there were very informative. We found out that a water main had broken in part of the hotel causing a lot of damage which hadn't been fixed so it was condemned. It is clear that there are several parts of the place that are abandoned. There is so much potential for this hotel if it were fixed up. Stay across the street at the Country Inn and Suites!
