Room & beds are fine. Hallway has faint musty smell. We choose this place for the availability of breakfast & swimming pool + hot tub. The breakfast itself is ok. So are the pool/ tub. Staff are ok. Overall fine.

I stayed in this wonderful hotel this weekend after leaving the starlite best western hotel due to the lack of service, kindness, and terrible terrible courtesy and rooms. The rooms smelled like horse sh** and smoke mixed into one. I requested a new room and they "clamied" they were full. I requested a new hotel because the starlite was a... More

N42 30.062 W94 08.816 I found the desk clerk to be very helpful and friendly. I was on the 2nd floor and was a few doors down from the stairs. I didn't notice any smell. The room was clean and the bed just fine.

When we checked in the man behind the counter just kept talking about "Hotel Policy" and how "it wasn't his fault", no apologies for the incovenience checking in was. There was also a terrible smell in the upstairs hallway and the beds were hard as a rock. Will not be staying at this particular hotel again.

I am sorry you felt my staff was rude. When you arrived to check in your room was to be charged to credit card you did not have. When your reservation was made 4 days prior to your arrival the person making the reservation was informed that we would need an authorization form returned to us so we could charged... More

The staff was very friendly, the cookies were great, and the room very clean and neat. The bed was like sleeping on the floor. Very hard and very uncomfortable. I woke up with a very stiff back. would not recommend to anyone with back problems. The breakfast was great and checking out was a breeze. If it wasn't for the... More

We have stayed here a number of times while visiting Fort Dodge family. It is essentially clean and comfortable and from time to time reasonablly priced. Though as the only decent place in town they do 'hold-us-up' on their pricing when events in town permit that.Overall ,I would call this a standard middle-of the road hotel which is acceptable to...

Large, comfortable bed; excellent breakfast; choice of newspapers including Des Moines Register, as well as current Newsweek magazine. And the coffee is the best I have tasted in a motel. The fast internet was also good. And having an elliptical in the exercise room is just what I wanted. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here.

Stayed here for 2 nights during a softball tournament. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and nice size. We have stayed at many country inn and suites while traveling and this was as expected. Easy to find and just down the road from many restaurants. Would definitely stay here again if ever in Fort Dodge.

It was a clean, comfortable room, but I couldn't get past the funky smell of the room when I first walked in. The breakfast area was cramped, no room to walk between tables or to get to the breakfast items. The front desk staff were extremely fast and efficient at getting us checked in and out.
