"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 Stanley Hotel Reviews

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful kind staff. Nice place amenities near by, dollar store, pizza ranch, gas station, grocery store"

Cornerstone Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"This was an ok property to stay one night. Rooms were fairly clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast provided was very basic and just ok."

Comfort Inn & Suites Independence

8/10 Good

"Comfy, clean room and breakfast was excellent!"

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."

Peaceful Lakeview Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Nice quiet property. Great set up for a family with plenty of games."

Cozy Lakeview Chalet

10/10 Excellent

"This property is perfect to unwind and relax. Andy is very attentive and easy to contact. The cabin has everything you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of normal life, and it is very clean. Our listing did say three bedrooms, when it was actually two bedroom and a nice pull out sofa in the living room. It would sleep 6 very comfortably. The spiral stairs and large deck are beautiful! The picnic tables and gas grill are a nice benefit!"

3-bedroom outdoor enthusiasts steps away from Backbone State Park.

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean rooms and a great atmosphere.Great place to bring the family pets and relax with friends and family. Hope to be able to return again soon."

3 Bedroom Scenic Ridge Retreat - Minutes to Backbone State Park

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The home is incredibly spacious, offers fantastic activities, and features an excellent location. If you are planning a trip to Backbone State Park, this home is perfect, as it is just a short drive from the park entrance.However, we did notice a few details regarding the sleeping arrangements:Master Bedroom: The mattress is comfortable but the frame is quite squeaky. A single quiet sleeper will be fine, but multiple people may find their sleep disrupted by the noise.Downstairs Bedrooms: These mattresses are best suited for children, as our adult guests found them less comfortable.Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this location to future travelers."

Cozy Cabin-real log cabin stay. Loft bed, woodsy decor, clean & cozy!

10/10 Excellent

"Nice cozy clean cabin! If have mobility issues there is a pullout sofa bed as alternative to loft that is very comfortable!"
