• Cordealya (10/5): - Very friendly and welcoming work staff Well I’m from keokuk so just that this hotel has to be in such a crappy town
• Bobbi (10/5): Friendly Careing and clean - Everything
• Fonder (9/5): -
• Fonder (9/5): -
• Victor (10/5): -
• Christina (10/5): Cozy! - No breakfast, but there is a kitchenette Floor could be cleaner.
• Kim (8/5): - Clean room Bathroom lighting VERY poor. Can barely see. Floor very slick when wet.
• Demetrius (1/5): Terrible Stay and Wouldn't recommend Chief Motel. - Parking was good. Bathroom had a bath tub. Pillows were comfortable. I booked a room for 06/29/2025 to 06/30/2025 on the website and arrived at 5am to check in for work related reasons. I spoke to the reception lady, she had poor manors and gave me excuse after excuse on reasons why I had to check out at 11am on 06/29/2025 to her she stated "The website still states its 06/28/2025." Even though the receipt for the hotel room clearly shows the date as 06/29/2025. Feeling defeated and tired, I just went along and waited until the next morning to figure out the situation. Opon entering my room, Pubic hairs were found on my "Clean toilet". Juice stains were in the tub. Towels were dirty and has previous food dried into them. Bed had chip crumbs in the sheets. Dead cockroach was found in the "Ice container". The next morning I spoke to booking.com to confirm that my checkout was supposed to be June 30th. Instead I was treated terrible by being told "Mame why would you check in early if you wanted the room you should've checked in at 11am". I was shocked because I had called the hotel ahead of time and explained I am out of town for work and need a room, they told me that was they have "24/7 check in" I mentioned the uncleanliness and they told me that there's nothing they can do for me. There was also no breakfast offered or set out for any of the hotel guest. I was asked to check out at 10:45 which was 15 minutes early to the check out time because they needed to do "Housekeeping" Worse experience and $86 down the drain.
• Gabe (10/5): -
• Bobbi (10/5): Definitely not a bad place to stay in the price as well considering how much it cost to stay in a hotel and being able t - They’re very kind there and it’s in a good location close to gas station and store Can’t say that there was really anything I didn’t like
• Bobbi (10/5): -
• RICHARD (8/5): -
• EDGAR (5/5): -
• Bryan (10/5): Chief - Good location, staff was friendly. Comfortable bed The bathroom could use another towel rack and maybe a mirror with shelves or something cause the sink isn't wide and there's not much room to put stuff on it
• Kirk and Lori (5/5): -
• Aaron (10/5): - Value. Good size and good amenities for a solo traveler Parking was a little tight, but it was a good sign for business.
• Reeves (8/5): - The only problem I had was I left the hotel around 4:30 pm to visit family.When I got back around seven pm,my parking spot was taken by contractors.I hd to park nine stalls away from my room.
• Ferguson (7/5): -
• Susan (10/5): - Room was spotless. Beds were comfortable. Full kitchen. Excellent value for the price.
• DAVID (8/5): - HAD A GOOD STAY ,NEED TO UPDATE PICTURES ON LISTINGS , ROOM WAS CLEAN, THE BEDS MATRESS WAS A LITTLE SOFT ,
• Ronda (8/5): - Price No coffee or hair dryer
• Robert (10/5): Great stay! - The daily cleaning and room care amazed us. Totally over the top service.
• Amy (8/5): -
• Chris (10/5): Nice Owners-Quiet & Reasonable -
• Scott (10/5): A great choice - Nice staff, room was clean and comfortable.
• Bradley (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - We stayed here back in Mar. When I knew when we were going to Keokuk again... I didn't look around. I booked here. The next time we go to Keokuk... I'll book here then too
• Fonder (8/5): Relaxing - Very friendly owner. We choose this place to stay every time we are in Keokuk. Love the upgrades made. Good location and price. Clean and affordable.
• Jennifer (4/5): - I checked reviews before booking and there were many saying it was clean. Wonder what their homes look like. My room was filthy. Something is growing on top of the fridge and the freezer was filthy. The furniture was not in good shape. The supplies for the kitchen area was minimal. No dish soap or paper towels. It was also noisy. Could hear the people above walking. It is on main st and the traffic was expected. The owners were great and nice people
• Fabian (8/5): - It's an older property, but it's clean.
• Michael (5/5): Adequate, nice staff - The property was adequate. Location good for my purposes. Beds squishy During a downpour water poured in through the air conditioner. Slight smell of mold.
• Frederick (6/5): - I think that this facility should offer a complimentary breakfast to its guests. It doesn't cost much to have a light complimentary breakfast
• Mary Lee (8/5): A great place to stay! - This is an older property that is a "classic" style motel. I suppose most people would be inclined to drive right past it. However, if you are looking for value for the money, it would be a mistake to pass up this little gem. The people who run it are very friendly and the rooms are very comfortable. We slept great on the beds and the climate control systems work well. The room was very clean, and we were never disturbed by "neighbor noise". It is very well maintained. We appreciate small business owners who take pride in their business and put in the effort to win customers. We will definitely stay here when we return to Keokuk. You won't find a better value and will bepaying a lot more to stay in one of the "big name" hotels.
• Jamie (10/5): -
• Wallace (9/5): I will definitely stay here again when we travel back to Iowa. - The beds were comfortable. The A/C kept us so cold. The room was clean and nice.
• Madison (10/5): - Me and my friend stayed for only one nighy but we loved it!!
• Pat (1/5): Bad - Take it off your site. We did not stay. Site is dilapidated and probably used hourly or short term housing for homeless. Everything.
• Barbara (10/5): Great place to stay! - The motel is easy to find, very quiet and the room was comfortable. The price was also great. My partner said we will be staying again. I can't think of anything that we didn't like.
• Richard (6/5): - Motel was shaped like the incline of the land.
• Schlarbaum (6/5): Pleasant - There was an issue of no hot water
• Victor (9/5): Great value, nice place, great location, nice folks. We'd certainly stay here again. - Beautiful woodwork within. Everything worked the way it should. Good location in town. Friendly staff. Great place to stay in Keokuk at a reduced price. The heater/airconditioner unit was by where you hang up your clothes, so a little inconvenient,....but it worked well.
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Wittich (10/5): Exceptional - A nice little hotel at an affordable price. Its the center of all I wanted to see.
• Jerry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rosa (8/5): Pretty good - Very clean for the price. Very nice, accommodating staff. No strange smells in the room or in the bed which is really nice, usually booking via 3rd party apps gets you the crappy rooms but all the appliances worked well, there were toiletries and clean linens in the bathroom. Not sure about breakfast or where it would have been since I missed it.
• Patrick (9/5): I would happily stay here again - The room was surprisingly well furnished, even with a kitchen. The staff were polite and helpful. The hotel admitted all of the noise from the road. The promised breakfast was not available.
• Ron (7/5): Good -
• shawna (10/5): - The room was honey and clean. Quiet area but no staff - key was left under the mat!
• Mark (9/5): Comfortable, spacious, and a great value. - The Chief is very comfortable, spacious and clean. A great value for any stay in Keokuk. NA
• Nancy (7/5): Good - Had everything we needed Bed was stiff, not comfortable. Noisy traffic near the room. You could see sunlight through the front door.
• Sandra (8/5): Very good -
• Barbara (6/5): - I ended up with bug bites, the sheets were a bit rough and the corners of the room were a bit dirty.
• Steve (6/5): - Curtains needed fixed
• Jason (9/5): Superb - Staff was super kind and room sufficed for our needs There was a little bit of hair found in the bathroom area, but I’m a believer that nothing is perfect. Overall it was a good experience and the staff was genuine/helpful.
• Dale (6/5): - This motel is old and tired, rather like Keokuk. The room was a musty odor. The AC unit barely worked. The bathroom was dimly lit. The writing desk was oversized for the room. Nice to use, but too big for the space. All in all, adequate for me, but my wife would never stay there. I chose the Chief because it is within easy walking distance to the house that I grew up in.
• Terri (3/5): It was cheap and not too far from our destination - The staff was nice. The location was nice. The floor/carpet needed to be cleaned. We were right next to the staff laundry and it woke us up several times during our stay there.
• Magaret (9/5): Superb -
• Bateman (8/5): Very good - No breakfast offered. Room was nice and beds comfortable. Parking lot was being paved and so not able to park close to room. Also the cicadas were awful and when we got up in the morning there were many dead on the sidewalk.on the whole it was good.
• Michael K (8/5): - Staff was nice and room was clean
• Pete (7/5): Good -
• Gould (5/5): Chief - The room was clean, the staff was courteous. The room was nothing like the pictures. It was small, and no kitchenette. Also advertising free breakfast and when we asked what time breakfast was served we were told that there was no breakfast. IF THEY ARE GOING TO BE ADVERTISING FREE BREAKFAST, THEY SHOULD HAVE FREE BREAKFAST. IF THEY ARE GOING TO ADVERTISE KITCHENETTES , THEY SHOULD HAVE KITCHENETTES
• Don (7/5): Good -
• Elizabeth (7/5): Good - Fine place to get some sleep for a quick overnight. Great coffee shop and breakfast across the street.
• Angie (6/5): Pleasant - Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Price was decent. The group of people outside talking and yelling at each other. The woman sitting on curb outside room smoking. The door needs replaced it had gaps.
• Zack (10/5): Exceptional -
• Teisha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Howard (9/5): Superb -
• Krista (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Thomas (8/5): Just what I was looking for. And centered for our needs. - Beds were very comfortable. The Chief Motel has very good tv service and actually very good tasting water. Very helpful staff and very courteous. Would definitely stay here again. The rooms are a bit small but to be some what expected for and older property. a bit spread out but again older.
• Lois (8/5): Comfortable and quiet. - It was easy to find. The room was very clean. Staff were kind when I locked myself out of my room. The room was a bit dated but since it was very clean and at a good price, I didn’t mind. It was good value for what I paid.
• Kristen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eadie (8/5): Perfect place to spend a night or two. - Location was perfect for us, room was clean and quieter than expected. For what we wanted this place is perfect and we will stay again.
• William (9/5): Enjoyable and comfortable. - Nice people, decent room, very helpful and accommodating Toilet leaked a little. Parking lot needs redone.none of these things hurt our stay just some pointers for future thought.
• Anonymous (7/5): Good -
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Ricky (8/5): Very good -
• Agnieszka (8/5): Very good -
• Monica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anita (1/5): DID NOT STAY!!! - Nothing, didn't stay, the place was awful. The place was not kept up, the room smelled of something, hard to describe, but not clean. The beds looked like they hadn't been cleaned. Headprints in the pillows like someone just laid down. I'm requesting a full refund. Booking needs to look into this place and NOT recommend it.
• J (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly Easy location Nothing Really
• Lisa (10/5): - The room was clean and smelled nice. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The management was kind and available whenever we needed them. We had a very pleasant stay and would stay there again. The only complaint I heard from my husband was about the road noise. There is a stop light right in front of the hotel and the occasional engine breaks were loud. Even with that, we would stay again because of the excellent value for the money.
• Travis (10/5): Exceptional - great nothing wrong there
• Cathy (2/5): - Property is very run down. People just standing around the outside of the rooms. Did not feel safe at all.
• Brady (1/5): Bad - Nothing Everything
