The staff was helpful and kind, even asking if we needed help with our luggage. The room was very clean and spacious. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was a lot of variety, and tasted good. We found out you are a pet friendly motel, so on our next trip, we can bring our dog! A big plus!!!

Clean hotel and a nice location.

This was a nice hotel to stay at when we visited Winterset. The hotel was extremely clean. Spotless. Breakfast was nice and no problems during our stay. We were able to easily drive to see all of the Covered Bridges in the area from this hotel.

They serve a Great Breakfast. Would be even better if they could add Real Butter to the menu
Russell, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very welcoming. The room, including the bathroom, was clean and well appointed. The bed/pillows were comfortable. Off the main road so it was quiet. We didn't eat the continental breakfast so can't review that. Close to restaurants and park.
Gilbert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We found the Covered Bridge Inn to be perfect for our needs. The Owner was very accommodating. My husband is unable to carry/lift things so the Owner came out and helped me bring in our luggage. He was very pleasant, recommended places to eat and things to see. Great stay, would recommend.

10/10 Exceptional

Everything great.

The only inconvenient -very very little one- was they were updating the rooms. Advantage? The stuff that they were renewing was CLEANER than the one that is in use in a lot of more expensive ones. Staff very kind, nice breakfast, close to everyhing, not noise at all.

Nice and quiet. Bed not very comfortable
Claudia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I have stayed here several times before. This time they were renovating. The rooms were clean, but my shower did not work. Otherwise I had no problem with the stay or the room
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and super friendly staff. When the front desk informed me of the breakfast hours at check in I said I would be leaving very early before breakfast. He said if I got hungry in the night to let him know and he would open the breakfast room so I could have a snack. I thought that was very kind.
Joy, 1-night trip

We have stayed here several times and always find it clean, friendly staff, and comfortable.
