Historical clean but some issues
Free parking lot out front.
Very well preserved historical elements but great air conditioning and clean.
Service was hit or miss as there is no dedicated desk position.
Lots of noise from adjoining room due to thin door with large gap beneath.
Would stay again.

Choose here and i doubt youll regret the choice. Bar and restaurant downstairs and food snd drinks both can be brought up to your room. For small towns in Iowa very frw have an original hotel built over 100 years ago is still standing and suprisingly nice.
Service from restaurant can be great or sloe depending on whos working.
