Top What Cheer Hotel Reviews

Budget Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room."

Hotel O

10/10 Excellent

"First of all this is an older building and it is in need of repair. And it offers a discounted price to compensate for this. Don't let the outward appearance discourage you. I stayed 5 nights. The location is just out of town and is a safe location to stay in. The room I had was very clean. The bedding, furniture, towels were in very good condition. They looked new. The AC worked very well, and the refrigerator was good sized and cold. You could set the thermostat where you wanted it. The bathroom was small, but it had a hot shower and a tub. Not a turned down water heater to save money like hotels costing 5 times their price! It had a heat lamp in the ceiling, plus a separate exhaust fan. I never heard any of the other guests while in my room , and there was no partying of any kind going on that I noticed. The people at the desk and the maids were fantastic, friendly, and helpful, and made me feel like they appreciated me using their hotel. They were "kind" people if you care about that. I will be staying in this hotel for all my visits in the future to Oskaloosa, IA. It's about a 3 minute ride to be right in the city where the restaurants and shops are. Oskaloosa is a great mid-sized midwestern town with lots of goods and services. The people who were staying in the hotel were driving mostly new cars. They were dressed nicely and were a friendly bunch. There is also a security person on site. Jeff Anderson"

Hotel O Oskaloosa Near Eddyville

8/10 Good

"Stayed 4 nights. Housekeeping cleaned room daily. Super helpful staff"

EverSpring Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The only downside was the pool & hot tub were closed for maintenance. This hotel is absolutely lovely & the staff is so friendly."

A Class-y & spacious 1500 square foot retreat in a century old brick schoolhouse

10/10 Excellent

"So I doubt I can describe how incredible our experience here was, but I’ll try. The reclaimed schoolhouse has such a Midwest homestead feel you wouldn’t believe it would carry so much history with it, but it does. The careful attachment with the old, while understanding the necessary comforts of the new occupants, have made this time an experience, more than a stay. Kathy and Tim are caring, talented and empathetic. They are the type of people that reassure you that when you leave your home to go onto a new place, there is enough love in their hearts to make you feel at home in theirs."

Cabin by Keomah State Park: Swimming Pool, Hot Tub Patio, Game Room, Trails
