Our stay there was fine. The hotel is quiet and the rooms are good. There was an easy chair and an office chair and a fridge and microwave. The staff was polite and helped us with an extra blanket and pillow. Beautiful view out our window of the surrounding countryside. Convenient place to stay during the Covered Bridge Festival in Winterset.

The staff was very welcoming. The room, including the bathroom, was clean and well appointed. The bed/pillows were comfortable. Off the main road so it was quiet. We didn't eat the continental breakfast so can't review that. Close to restaurants and park.

We found the Covered Bridge Inn to be perfect for our needs. The Owner was very accommodating. My husband is unable to carry/lift things so the Owner came out and helped me bring in our luggage. He was very pleasant, recommended places to eat and things to see. Great stay, would recommend.

Everything great.

The only inconvenient -very very little one- was they were updating the rooms. Advantage? The stuff that they were renewing was CLEANER than the one that is in use in a lot of more expensive ones. Staff very kind, nice breakfast, close to everyhing, not noise at all.

Room was very clean and just fine, however breakfast had only one sausage link left, no potatoes or eggs, just waffles and pastries. They seem to be in the process of updating the property!

The shower did not work. They aren’t staffed 24/7 so couldn’t tell anyone about it until the next morning. Was driving for 10 hours, and not having a shower was disappointing. The woman was nice, but did not offer compensation or discount. She said I have to tilt it, and then pull.
