I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained, although the mattress was a bit hard and squeaky. The service was friendly and efficient, ensuring a positive experience during my visit. The central location in downtown Decorah was ideal, making it convenient to access everything I needed during my stay. The dining options were average, but I found an excellent breakfast spot nearby, enhancing my overall dining experience.

The hotel rooms were spacious and very quiet, furnished with period pieces. While the room was well-prepared and very clean, it didn't entice me to return. The service was very accommodating, and having breakfast in the dining room was good and a good value. The location was perfect, close to everything in town, and the dining experience was so-so, but there are better options nearby.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are uniquely decorated and kept at a perfect temperature, but the noise levels were disturbing with no intervention. The service was extremely nice and accommodating, especially from Michael. The location is ideal for exploring downtown and enjoying nearby amenities, although the noise could be a downside. The dining experience fell short of expectations. The public areas were immaculate, but there wasn't a place to hang my dresses in the room.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were the nicest we had ever stayed in, very well prepared and clean, but didn't necessarily leave us eager to return. The service was extremely nice and accommodating, making our stay enjoyable. The location offers small town charm with great restaurants and interesting shops, though it was different from what we expected.
