Everything within the control of the owner/manager was perfect. Location is a bit remote and the convenience store across the street closes VERY early but that is not the Motel's problem. Very clean and the owner couldn't be more friendly and accommodating. Will stay again for a Hawkeye football game weekend.

Relaxed, peaceful property. The friendly owners were attentive to all my needs. The room was clean and easy to navigate. Parking at the front door. Cannot say enough great comments about this property. I definitely would stay there again if in the area.
