We stayed in the Gustave Stickley room which we enjoyed the look and feel of. I would say that their in-room TV wasn't much larger than my laptop but we didn't go there to watch TV. The bed was comfortable and there were nice leather/wood chairs that we enjoyed. The best part was the bowling alley! We had an hour of private bowling and it was a blast!

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!

They're very basic) next door is a general store where you can get dinner, breakfast or chocolate. Whichever you may want/need. Much better accommodations than similarly priced rooms. Well worth the price and a definite place to go back on a cross country drive. (Ok so I mentioned the country store b/c Perry from the country Inn raves about it. We went this morning. It's a basic gas station place . But it does have breakfast pizza! Are you daring enough to try it?!)

The room is equipped with two double beds, the sheets were a little worn, kinda like going to Grandma's house. There is a refrigerator, microwave but no coffee maker. Casey's is right next door and Kum & Go is right across the highway, so there's plenty of coffee, donuts and junk food available. For fifty bucks, it's a cheap sleep if you just want to nap and move on!

The very very cheapest thin small old towels , pillows and toiletries. The carpet is disgusting. Look at this picture of the carpet near the bathroom. Now all my clothes even smell like smoke!

The bartenders at the casino are busy talking to each other and there's not much interest in taking care of the customers that are paying money there. It was just OK ---nowhere that I would rush to go back to. The reason I gave it three stars is because of Patty in the back. She's at the customer service desk so I guess she knows about customer service. She set up our Player Cards and was the bright light in this otherwise dim episode. Shout out to her!

He went out to get it and on the way in, security would not let him in because he appeared intoxicated. He doesn't drink or use drugs if any kind.

The officer came but said they have the right to refuse anybody. They say their employees are specifically trained for such problems. Really? How does a person with over 10 years sobriety get refused due to intoxication? Very disappointing. Oh well, we like to spend money and Prairie Meadows is happy to have our business.

The location was convenient in the center of town and literally walking distance from everything (it's a small town). The beds were firm and not overly comfortable, but the room was very clean. The entrance to the room was direct to outside where we conveniently parked on street right in front of the room. It was a little confusing when we got there because the sign to the place is where the rooms are,but the innkeepers live across the street which is where you check in. I wish this place served breakfast because in a Sunday morning in lake city there is literally no where to eat. The one breakfast joint is closed on Sunday, which we didn't know.

Another review mentioned the very slippery floors surrounding the pool - they are right.

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.

It was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and it was decorated so cute for Christmas. The pool looked nice, but we didn't swim and since we were only a short drive from home, didn't check out the shower so I can't speak for that. Everyone here was friendly, something rare in hotels these days. The breakfast was great, a typical continental breakfast, but again everything was clean. They had syrups to flavor the coffee, and I was impressed with both sugar and sugar free options! The fireplace in the foyer was on, making it a cozy experience, too. Great job, Stuart Iowa!
