Guest Reviews

• Jay (10/5): A definite thumbs up!! - Staff was available and helpful during the entire stay! Ice machine was unavailable.
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional - The most friendly welcoming hotel ive ever stayed at. Clean, tidy, huge rooms. Just wonderful A vending machine for snacks
• Elizabeth (7/5): -
• Crystal (9/5): - Staff was very accommodating/friendly/knowledgeable! Apologized for construction, but really no need, very clean,& no problems, except no ice machine, but she explained if we wanted ice just come up front & she would get for us. She was a peach😇 Spent 2 nights was very good! We liked that bathrm & sink area was separate. My husband liked the fact the light switch was inside the bathrm & could shut door & not outside of it. I liked the big mirrors. Only 1 night stand, think there should be 2. Only complaint I have was bed was really low & kinda hard. Pillows were great! But I mentioned the bed & morning gal said those are being replaced, so👍👍 on that. They also have a hot brkft, saw it, but didnt eat it as we had other plans. We definitely will stay there next time we are in Winterset!❤️ Can't wait to see their new updates! Easy to find on edge of town. Just can't say enough about the staff, & we could understand them👍👍 Bed was too low & kinda hard, but as I stated b4, they are replacing, only 1 night stand.

• Irene (9/5): Great Stay. Perfect location to visit all the bridges. - Property was very clean. Staff was outstanding.
• Leah (10/5): Stellar in every way - Absolutely amazing stay! 10/10 would highly recommend this hotel. I was blown away by Sue and how attentive she was. She made my whole family feel like we were staying at our family’s home. Thank you so much! Nothing
• Wendy (7/5): Clean and very friendly staff. - Staff was very friendly and room was clean. It is an older hotel going through some renovations. I could hear my neighbors tv all night through the wall. Breakfast was OK but nothing special. Bed was a little too firm and low to the floor (not sure if that was because I was in a handicap room).
• Karen (10/5): - Help was friendly and helpful. Had a hometown feeling Needs USB ports
• Stepanie (7/5): Very friendly staff, gave you information on where to dine. - NIce, clean place to stay. The room was really damp. But it was probably due to all the rain the area had recently. I shoule have asked for a room on the second floor that probably would have been better.
• Cheryl (9/5): Satisfied with our stay -
• Michael (9/5): Will stay here again when in the area. - Close to everything, quiet, very friendly and helpful staff, newly renovated and clean. My wife would have liked hot water for tea.
• Terry (10/5): Once in a life time,esp the guided tour of winterset - Very peacefull and relaxing
• Kathy (10/5): - Clean rooms and a great breakfast.
• STEVE (6/5): -
• gary (5/5): not the best - Bed was terrible Lots of remodeling, old lamps and carpeting, A/C laying under entrance area.
• Deb (7/5): - The air conditioner was very noisy.
• Spencer (7/5): -
• Rita Sue (10/5): The Inn was very clean and affordable. Staff was helpful and curtious. We would stay there again. - There was no breakfast
• jon (10/5): -
• Tony (7/5): Great rooms and greeting staff, but extremely disappointing breakfast. - Clean and well taken care of. Staff were very friendly and accommodating Let’s start with security. The outside door that you are supposed to have a key card to get in would not shut all the way so anyone could come in. The staff that was there when we arrived were very nice. The second day my wife wanted a second blanket and we needed more toilet paper and they very quickly got those items for me. As we engaged them in conversation about their garden on the side of the building they even offered to give my wife some green tomatoes when she commented on them. Very nice people. Breakfast is from 6-10 am and I was up for taking advantage of it but was very disappointed. When I first went down around 7:30-8, I had to ring the bell and apparently wake up the attendant to ask for a fork to eat the waffles, which I had not planned on eating, but were very good. I was going to have eggs, but was very disappointed in them. The eggs were scrambled egg whites and there were sausage links, which was good, but seemed a little old. Since I anticipated the eggs would not be that good I put some sausage and gravy on them for extra flavor—that was a mistake. Not only were the eggs bland, the sausage and gravy had the consistency of snot or glue and did not taste good—that is why I went with the waffle. I used nearly all of the syrup from the remnants of the two bottles and enjoyed my waffle. As I came back down to get my wife some cereal to take back up the breakfast area was closed and locked—at 9:00 am when it is supposed to go till 10:00 am. So I rang the bell and woke up the young woman again and asked why it was locked. She muttered something about only having two rooms occupied and opened up the door for me. She left and I turned on the lights and decided to have another waffle as well as get my wife some cereal. While waiting for the waffle maker to heat up again I thought I would watch the TV, but it did not work. While waiting I also turned the syrup bottles upside down to be able to have enough syrup for my waffle.
• Crystal (6/5): Okay - Having a decent room Smell of incense throughout the main lobby and so strong, that I was able to smell it clear out in the parking lot
• Richard (7/5): -
• Bass (9/5): - The room was very clean and the customer service was outstanding. The desk chair wouldn't go up or down.
• Steve (9/5): Nice place! Proprietor was great! - Location TV had no sound, but they came up to room and remedied it within five minutes!
• Jean Fauskee (10/5): -
• Sandy (8/5): -
• Kevin (9/5): -
• Marjorie (9/5): Very nice place to stay. - Bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom exceptionally clean!! I was not able to get the TV to open up to channel seek.
• James (7/5): - When register she said didn't take so placed card again. Had 2 charges to my accountl had to wait 3 days to get it back.
• reeves (10/5): -
• Soukup (5/5): -
• Charles (10/5): - Great hotel. Super clean. Reasonably priced. Good breakfast. We didn't have any issues at all with this hotel.
• Shelly (10/5): -

The property is peaceful and quiet with free breakfast and free coffee in the lobby as well as an ice machine!
• Steve (6/5): Good. -
• Laura (7/5): -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Jonathan (9/5): Friendly, comfortable, good value hotel - Very friendly people. Nice and quiet. Good sized room, recently fitted out. Very comfortable. Very close to restaurants and the town and famous covered bridges Very small breakfast area with not enough space for the number of guests
• Dave (9/5): A decent, upgraded basic motel room for a fair rate in that market -
• Eckstein (10/5): Exceptional - Very well kept.
• Pamela (7/5): This is a CLEAN property, which is the most important thing to me. I feel it was a bit overpriced I paid 122.00 for a T - The property was CLEAN. It looks like they are renovating. Per the name, I was expecting something kind of rustic. The property is a normal commercial building.
• Terry (7/5): Good - Good location Breakfast??
• Sharp (10/5): Exceptional -
• Heiko (1/5): In five weeks in the US, this was our only bad experience — a disaster! - Nothing! We didn't move into the room, but left again after a few minutes. The upper floor, where our room would have been, is a construction site. All the rooms are being renovated. The hallway was cluttered with building materials and trash and dirty. We had to clear some things out of the way just to get into the room. Emergency exits were blocked by furniture and building materials. When we pointed this out to the owner, he reacted extremely unfriendly and kept the payment for the first night as a cancellation fee. In our opinion, the rooms on the upper floor should not be rented out at this time, before the construction is finished.
• Michael (5/5): Passable - Good location for what we were planning on doing in Winterset. Obviously doing some renovation there. Lamps, carpet, and other items were in the area outside the front door. We, and the people we were traveling with in another room, found a couple roaches in the rooms.
• Carol (8/5): - Breakfast was good. Not a fan of the condiments like the butter being a shared tub that everyone stuck the knife into. If you don't know how the Waffle maker works and how much batter to put in. You will struggle with this. But overall a very nice place to stay.
• Claudia (10/5): Nice - Nice and quiet. Bed not very comfortable
• Jennifer (8/5): - Clean = good
• Kent (8/5): 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.
• Jerry (10/5): - Property and room clean, staf friendly and helpful
• Jan (10/5): Enjoyable overnight stay! - Clean and comfortable. Gentleman at check in was very friendly and helpful.
• Cathy (10/5): - 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.
• Renate (10/5): - The eating area was very clean and neat with good food variety. Overall the host was very friendly and made us feel welcomed! Impressed with Winterset downtown courthouse area and the covered bridges nearby.
• Duane (8/5): Very good -
• CYNTHIA (10/5): - Very friendly, nice breakfast!
• Paul (10/5): - nice place to stay
• Curtis (8/5): As expected and a good value. - Breakfast was basic, but good.
• Charlotte (2/5): - Smells horrible , they don’t speak English , they live their so if u need a key at 1 in the morning you have to wake them up and their mad and in pjs very unprofessional
• Vikki (4/5): - Shower did not work. Tub drained very slowly. Something gross in air conditioning.
• Bonnie (8/5): - The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was the breakfast. There was no measuring cups for the waffle mix and I had to guess to get batter. The egg (I think) were an odd color and the biscuits were dry and hard. Butter was not in original packages and was gross.
• Lois (8/5): Very good - Had a little bit of difficulty understanding the girl at the front desk hen we checked in.
• Steven (8/5): Worth the pricef - Friendly staff. Lack of good pillows. Breakfast items lacking
• James (7/5): Good -
• Leslie (6/5): Pleasant -
• Sharon (5/5): The facilities served the basic purpose for my stay. - My room was clean and provided basic comfort, for the purpose of my visit. Hospitality and genuine friendliness were on the "utilitarian" level.
• Greg (10/5): - Great location, clean, quiet and great value for beautiful Winterset.
• Gary (8/5): - close to my destination
• Tesla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Russell (10/5): - They serve a Great Breakfast. Would be even better if they could add Real Butter to the menu
• Mia (10/5): - The staff was friendly. The coffee was real and the rooms were clean. Home of John Wayne birthplace. Fantastic stay.
• clint (6/5): O.K. - The room was O.K. for a stay in the area. The beds were not as comfortable compared to other hotels that I have stayed in, but the room was clean. The internet worked great. A huge plus is that the floors were wood, so there were not nasty smells like some hotels that have carpet. I would stay here if in the area again.
• Maggie (6/5): - Property was clean & staff were friendly. Stayed for one night. Continental breakfast was a bit beyond basic - included fresh fruit - and the usual cereal, toast, waffles along with sausage, scrambled egg whites, and biscuits/gravy. A problem with the (apparently recently renovated) bathroom causes the lower score on the facilities.
• William (10/5): - Good for the money.
• Brian (8/5): Very good -
• Maggie (8/5): Clean and affordable - It was clean and affordable. Staff was nice. The only issue we had was someone had a dog that kept constantly barking for hours. We knew the hotel accepted pets so it’s not their fault. Just an FYI for anyone booking. It’s an older hotel as well, which is fine with us. We had a nice stay and would recommend this hotel.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Good value - Very polite and helpful front desk attendent. Breakfast was very sparse though
• Katherine (9/5): Superb -
• Christopher (10/5): Friendly, Convenient and Priced Right - I was in town for the week and chose to stay at the Covered Bridge Inn. The location was convenient since I would also be traveling east a few times throughout the week. The staff were friendly and caring, and the room was terrific. Other options in town just didn't compare.
• Cheryl (8/5): - 👍
• Dawna (10/5): We had a great stay! - It was easy to find. Very clean. The owners were so nice. We will be staying here again!
• Donald (8/5): - The property was nice and clean. The clerk was very pleasant! We would definitely come again.
• Nancy (6/5): - Poorly maintained
• Bertie (10/5): - Friendly staff
• Peter (10/5): - Old mattresses outside of building.
• Kelli (10/5): Fantastic Stay - Very clean, very nice people, great location
• Jerry (10/5): - Enjoyed everything
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (10/5): I'll Be Back - I've stayed here before and really appreciated the friendliness. That was true again this time. Affordable rates, nice rooms, well maintained, easy check in, good coffee. I don't mind paying a pet fee for a welcoming place to stay,
• Sarah (4/5): - On the dirty side, uncomfortable bed and cold. Continental Breakfast = twinkies and sunny D. Coffee was gross.
• Sarah (2/5): 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
• Glenda (10/5): Good stay and good value - Extremely clean. Helpful friendly staff. The room looked like it was just refurbished-in excellent condition.
• Valerie (8/5): - Very friendly staff. Easy check in. Clean rooms. Will stay again when i am in town
• Jim (10/5): - Good. Recommend.
