Plenty of rooms away from U.S. #69 so it's quiet! Very friendly owners/managers. Was a great "date/night" while we watched Iowa Womens' BB!

Thank you so much for your time to review us. Sorry to hear you had such experience. But our all outlets are working in room but all the top outlets are connect with the switch in the room next to light switch if you turned off that it won't work. But hope we can have your business and give us another chance to fix the issue you had. Thank you!

Quiet, easy to get a room and wasn't bothered. In a small town in rural Iowa, it's what you'd expect. Friendly but not many amenities.
