Tried keeping deposit for using the towels

Was yelled at for using towels in front of a lobby full of people. Was cursing at my boyfriend and trying to fight him. The craziest thing I have ever seen. Was put in a room next to the owners apartment. They were yelling and fighting so much we checked out at 6am. The man then turned his anger on us. Still in shock over the whole situation

We were looking for a place to stay near the acttivities at the Bridge festival. This was exactly what we wanted. The building is a bit dated but is in good condition and the employees were all very nice and helpful.

Comfortable place to stay

Room was very clean, it had a recent renovation. New flooring, paint, microwave, refrigerator, comfortable beds. The big plus for us is it is pet friendly, we always travel with our small hypoallergic dog. Plenty of space to take her out to potty, yes, we cleaned up after her. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay there again. Winterset is a nice, clean small town with a lot to offer. Enjoyed all the touristy sites.

OK, But A Better Breakfast Would Be Better!

We have stayed at this hotel many times. It's not fancy but it is clean and predictable. We were in Winterset for the Covered Bridge Festival with a large family group. Half of us stayed here, half at the only other hotel in town, the Cobblestone Inn. Cobblestone Inn was a slight upgrade at a slightly higher price, but it had a much better breakfast!
