Stay was good except for children still yelling and running at 11:00 pm. I believe the noise came from the office area.

We were looking for a place to stay near the acttivities at the Bridge festival. This was exactly what we wanted. The building is a bit dated but is in good condition and the employees were all very nice and helpful.

Comfortable place to stay

Room was very clean, it had a recent renovation. New flooring, paint, microwave, refrigerator, comfortable beds. The big plus for us is it is pet friendly, we always travel with our small hypoallergic dog. Plenty of space to take her out to potty, yes, we cleaned up after her. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay there again. Winterset is a nice, clean small town with a lot to offer. Enjoyed all the touristy sites.

OK, But A Better Breakfast Would Be Better!

We have stayed at this hotel many times. It's not fancy but it is clean and predictable. We were in Winterset for the Covered Bridge Festival with a large family group. Half of us stayed here, half at the only other hotel in town, the Cobblestone Inn. Cobblestone Inn was a slight upgrade at a slightly higher price, but it had a much better breakfast!

Minor problem two lights out I changed bulbs but they still were out. Not a big deal. Beautiful spot a block away from busy road close to town with a covered bridge just down the Inn’s road. Coffee and a light breakfast we’re good. I would stay here again.
