Top Melrose Hotel Reviews

Royal Rest Motel

8/10 Good

"Lots of cigarette butts in the parking lot."

Indian Hills Inn & RV Park

10/10 Excellent

"Our room and bathroom were very clean. The outside of the Inn was only acceptable not as well maintained as inside the rooms but there again as long as our room where we are staying is excellently clean we are pleased. They do not offer any kind of a continental breakfast which is a drawback but I must say the staff that greeted us was very friendly and very helpful and we would definitely stay there again"

Cabin close to Lake Rathbun #4

10/10 Excellent

"All the cabins on the property appear be getting exterior renovations. Cabin #4 looked like it had recieved minor exterior repair with other places needing minor attention. Overall the cabins look solid and sturdy with great integrity. Very accommodating amenities to comfortably sleep and house the 4 of us plus our pup.The cabin essentials were in good operating condition with a back-up window AC that did a wonderful job keeping the unit cool and comfortable. The coffee pot needed a deeper clean before we used it and under the couch could use a clean sweep.Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we loved the property layout and cabin setting. We used the fire pit and solid charcoal grill both nights.Thank you so much for letting us stay and enjoy this scenic and serene, gravel get-away in Southern Iowa!"

This place truly feels like a getaway stay - cation . Knoxville is so lucky to have this addition!!! Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer . We will be back to create more memories !!:)"
