She was professional, but kind of cool and not particularly friendly or conversational when I attempted to engage about the local area, the hotel, etc. The other reason for a one star deduct is that there is just about nothing else conveniently located to the hotel. Food, etc, you are basically on your own. No restaurants or anything. Each of those things merit a half star deduction in my mind, total of one down. I'd stay again. Likely it had just been a long day for the person checking us in. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Excellent access to the highway. 4/5 for sure, which is pretty good.

Recently, I needed to be in Maquoketa, Iowa, for a wedding, and I was glad to learn of the highly reviewed Squiers Manor B&B. With short notice I was able to make a reservation in the Beulah Room, named after one of the Squiers daughter's who grew up and was married in the house, whose father the house was built for. It was a lovely room with a twin bed for our 9 year old daughter, and at a most reasonable price too. The furnishings in our room and all the others we were able to see, were stunning. This may have been the finest B&B I have ever stayed in anywhere in the US and Canada. But not only was the building grand, and furnishings fantastic (Kathy and her husband are antique dealers and have searched high and low for the most amazing furnishings for their B&B), the hospitality was grand too. Kathy accommodated our need to check in a bit before standard check in between 4-8pm, and kindly greeted us and gave us a full tour of the house. If we have any disappointment at all, it was that we could not stay longer, enjoy the evening dessert or partake of the morning breakfast. We have heard it is great. We can't wait to get back to Maquoketa again and visit Squiers Manor again, and we would tell you to make a reservation here if you are passing through or staying for a few days in the area, it is a MAGNIFICENT B&B.

Yeah people, most folks who stay in hotel/motel rooms plan to sleep. I would not recommend anyone staying there unless you have packed ear plugs.

However, it was so disappointing and gross to have to sleep in our booked room for three nights. A few things-- 1.) There was NEVER anyone at the front desk!!! Who are we supposed to direct questions or concerns to? 2.) The "free" morning breakfasts consisted some type of greasy meet, watery eggs, and stale blueberry muffins, bagels, etc. We didn't even bother to grab breakfast there on our way home. 3.) Our room smelled of cigarette smoke and I had a near anaphylaxis reaction to SOMETHING in our room all three nights. Every night we came home, there was about a 2-3 hour window where I was fine... and then just like that the hives would return with a vengeance. I haven't had a rash/hive or issue with my breathing like that in a long time. I have severe allergies to both dust and mold... 4.) The note (see photo) was left on our bedside table sometime on Saturday. What the hell...? They wouldn't touch the bed because it had one of our blankets from home on it. I travel extensively for work and have spent many a nights/days in hotels for conferences, advocacy work, clinical trial panels...you name it. I always bring a blanket and no one has ever refused to tidy up my room or change out my linens because of it. Yes, that happened. The hotel cleaners didn't even bother to take our dirty linens?! 5.) I have a disability/handicapped placard as I have a rare condition that causes significant changes in blood sugar and blood pressure. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. We utilize the placard ESPECIALLY when out of town because of my personal luggage, food, medical supplies, medications, etc. on top of my partner's. The entire time we were at the hotel, some asshole was parked like an asshole and took up TWO disability/handicapped parking spots (there were only two). Now, why am I FURIOUS about this? Because there was absolutely no placard or documentation on the truck's dash, taped to a window, displayed in the back, on the license plate, etc. etc. etc. NONE. AND THERE WAS NO ONE TO REPORT IT TO. We have good friends in this area but will never, ever stay here again.
