It was greT
Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It's fun to stay in a big old 100-year-old hotel. This one is showing its age, but it's not bad. The staff were nice and efficient. For the price, it's a great deal.
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Complimentary breakfast at a local restaurant connected to hotel.

Kristine, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel, stayed just one night to rest midway on our way to Missouri - arrived late and check in was smooth. Room was clean, beds super comfy. Breakfast was included in the morning which was good. Would definitely stay here again!
Nanette, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Front desk and food service staff were great! Decided to extend my stay and the manager adjusted my nightly rate accordingly, which saved money, and was much appreciated.
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I like this hotel and have stayed here several times. It’s old, which I think gives it a certain charm. It also makes for thick plaster walls which keep things quiet. Only issue with the room was that the towel rack was just about to come off the wall. When we first walked in there was a pile of towels on the bathroom floor; we assumed they were left from the previous guest. Then we realized they had fallen off the leaning towel rack. The bed was very comfortable. I love the ceiling fan!

Nice but old.
Ashley, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is older, but quaint. Our room was a decent size and clean. However, the bathroom is tiny but usable. There is a fridge and microwave which is good. The hotel was quiet. The trash truck at 1am woke us up but that is not on the hotel. The breakfast is different. I am used to going up and getting whatever I want, but they have limited choices. However, it is cooked to order and was good. Just a bit weird. It is a restaurant as well as the breakfast for the hotel. They suggested leaving a tip because that is not covered in the free breakfast. Glad they told us. Overall it was a pleasant stay. Air conditioning was good and cold and constant fan is awesome for me to sleep better.

6/10 Okay

Breakfast was almost nothing! they put us in the annex.
dennis, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Stayed here before, will likely stay here again, but was disappointed in the smell of the elevator, the tiles in our hotel room bathroom were lifting up, and the couch had a huge stain on it. It's a beautiful hotel with lots of history, so I hope for a grant, or Gordon Ramsey, because it could be just as beautiful again.
Jaime, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very small rooms. We had a four day stay and when we asked for the room to be cleaned we had to go down to the lobby to pick up the towels. They don’t make beds That bothered me. Bathroom is 2 feet away from bathroom. So if one of us went to the bathroom, the light would wake you or the sound of piss hitting into the toilet. Won’t be returning there

I was pleased that, after accidentally leaving my watch in my room after checking out, it was mailed to me at my home address. A pleasant stay in Ottumwa!

Terry, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Unique and beautiful, also great breakfast. Nice to hear the locals talk in the morning. Wish the cafe space was still open, but hope it comes back someday. The place itself just needs updated carpet and maybe fresh wallpaper. I did enjoy my stay and will continue to come back Good prices and great time.
