"The room was large and clean, the staff were all helpful and friendly. It was a great central location to enjoy beautiful northeast Iowa and all the quaint towns. They had a few nice areas; a big central balcony, a picnic area and breakfast area, for a group to gather. There were some run down areas: the parking lot, the fitness room and the game room. No elevator. The area does not offer great eating options."

Top Elgin Hotel Reviews

Wild Rose Road Cabin <br>2595 Wild Rose Road Fort Atkinson Ia

10/10 Excellent

"We were looking for a place to host a family gathering that could comfortably accommodate a larger group, and Wild Rose Cabin in Fort Atkinson, Iowa, was a wonderful surprise. Our trip had two main priorities, and the property matched the VRBO description and photos perfectly. It was quiet, relaxing, and gave our family and friends a great place to spend time together. We gathered in the kitchen for coffee and conversation, the bedrooms were spacious, and the half bath in the upstairs loft worked well for our nephews. When an air-conditioning issue came up, the hosts resolved it right away. They also allowed us to host a family dinner with cousins we had not seen in more than 20 years, and everyone was impressed by how beautiful the property was. A big thank-you to the hosts from the Byram/Abbott family."

Comfort Inn & Suites Marquette - Prairie du Chien

"The price is right."

Best Rest Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Even though I am not handicapped, I was given a handicapped room, which was no problem. The entry door was dragging on the carpet making it difficult to open. This would not normally be an issue for a non-handicapped room but an actual handicapped person would struggle to open the door. It really did take a considerable force to get it open. I mentioned this to the management. The in-room refrigerator is a compact model that does not have auto defrost. The frost buildup was so bad that closing the door was tricky. I did not mention this to the management. I did use the swimming pool. It is indoors and was very well kept and clean. This pool is really meant for kids, not adults like myself. I normally swim in very deep water so when I tried to get out at the shallow end, I stubbed my middle toe on the bottom. That's my bad not the facility. The room was clean and the TV worked. The hair dryer mounting had been pulled from the wall so it was placed over the towel rack. I had no issue using it but the mounting base hung from the cord while I was using it. The bed was comfortable with lots of blankets. The breakfast was self serve consisting of: hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, cereal, orange juice, milk, yogurt, and hot waffles with butter and syrup, They also had hot biscuits and gravy, which I did not have. You can eat either indoors or outside on an elevated deck. This motel served my need and if I am ever in West Union again, I will re-book without hesitation."

"Lovely and historical place to stay. Location was perfect for starting a stroll down Main Street or a quick walk to the convenience store across the street for anything you forgot. Sara and Ryan were very helpful and accommodating and we loved the bottle of wine from the local winery as a thank you! I plan on staying again as it was perfect for our girls getaway."
