Clean hotel and a nice location.

This was a nice hotel to stay at when we visited Winterset. The hotel was extremely clean. Spotless. Breakfast was nice and no problems during our stay. We were able to easily drive to see all of the Covered Bridges in the area from this hotel.

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.
