Great owners. Room we stayed in was clean and affordable. Can not wait to see what comes of the place after the renovation! Goodluck guys! Thanks for accommodating us with our dog!
The very best motel I have ever stayed at and ive stayed at hundreds!!! Amazingly comfortable beds, hot showers, super friendly staff, pretty sure it's just mom and pop that take care of the place. You guys are awesome!!! Will definitely stay again if I'm working in the area again.
Staff is friendly and awesome I'm a traveling cna I recommend staying here they will work with you and very clean
Very clean hotel. Reasonbly priced.. Owner very freindly. You can tell he cares and takes pride in property. Definitely will stay here again.
A clean basic room with a good price. I was just passing through Cherokee needing a budget room to stay in. This was very adequate. The room was large and clean. I was happy to find a microwave and fridge included so that I could keep my cooler contents cold. I haven't found an ice machine yet. But Like I said, this is a basic motor inn. I was happy to pay almost half the cost of the Best Western in town.
I 100% recommend. The staff is super friendly and very easy to work with. Our room was clean and fresh. It was small but was perfect for us. Nice and quiet. If we are in the area and in need of a room they will be the first ones I call.
The man who owns this business is one of the Very Best. Danny Adam's and his wife put their hearts into every little detail. After a lifetime of hard work, they bought this as an investment into their retirement together and have not stopped investing all their energy into it! In the middle of the recent Pandemic, I was a telephone caller wanting a late check-in. Dannyvwaited you for me and even though the sign in the door said "CLOSED", welcomed me and showed me to my room. And if a CLEAN room is important to you, especially if you have a family in these times, look no further! It's close to the Iowa Great Lakes, the Spencer Fair, and is settled in a beautiful river valley home to done if the cheapest gas prices in Iowa. And if you're really lucky, Danny might tell you some of his great stories about his adventures working all over this great country. Staying here will only add to the terrific memories you'll make while visiting NW Iowa. Enjoy!
This is a well priced motel that was located close to the work site I was at. The owner Larry Prell is a really nice guy that I've lost hours with just having conversations and will remind you of a family member, because that's how he will treat you (like family). The rooms are cleaned daily, bed was comfortable, zero issues, and plenty of places for food near by. I'd definitely stay again and most likely will be back before long. I've paid more for places near stores that close at 6pm or I've had to travel miles for a decent grocery store. There's a Hy-Vee around the corner, a fareway opposite direction, and plenty of restaurants nearby.
