Quality Inn Oskaloosa

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older hotel but dont judge a book by it's cover. The room was clean ( no carpet!)and just what we needed for a quick one night stay. The staff was nice. The only thing I could complain about was the washcloths were on the old side."

OYO Landmark Inn Oskaloosa Near Hwy 63

"The staff was so very helpful and friendly! If you are looking for a budget friendly place to stay then this is the place! The building is old but everything worked, bed was comfortable, and the room was clean."

Charming 3-bedroom house in Brooklyn

10/10 Excellent

"This house was perfect for our stay! It's nestled in the small town of Brooklyn and the perfect place for us to lay our heads after a long day at the Iowa game. It had all the space we needed and more. Amber was a very accommodating host and quick to respond. Definitely would recommend this property!"

"Great little place."

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"
