We stay here each year while exhibiting at the Clay Co. Fair and this hotel fits our need just fine. The place is a bit dated BUT the rooms are clean, the staff is great, and the only "complaint" we have is that the breakfast is a bit weak. The fruit offered was a bit past it's due and would...

My aunt and uncle from the Cities stay here twice a year. The room is clean and handicap accessible. In addition, the desk help and room service is very accomodating. Price is right! Stay there. Excellent.

I admit his isn't the nicest place to stay. But we've been staying there for the few Fourth of July weekends with friends and it's fine for what we need. Boating parking and a place to sleep and have a few beers in the parking lot.

The motel is in a good location. The room was old. Spider webs in the corner. The tub floor has many cracks and it felt like it would give way and there was water coming from under the tub out onto the tile floor. The bedding had cigarette burns. The microwave and mini refrigerator was new. But could not tell... More

This is an average motel which has seen better days. It was clean but some little things were concerning. We were with another couple and both rooms had similar issues. The stopper in the bathroom sink was not connected and one had to physically pry it out for draining to occur; there was a coffee maker but only plastic cold... More

I travel often and try to stay at local motels/hotels over national chains- I try to contribute to local businesses as much as I can. The Plaza 1 Motel is of the best places I have ever stayed. The staff is courteous and polite. The room amenities included a bigger dorm fridge, microwave, hair dryer, and a TV and remote... More

I was looking for a nice quite room, and I found it. The manager Ruth couldn't have been more helpful. The room was clean and spacious. There was a desk and table provided, along with an easy chair! I would definitely stay here the next time I am in town!

Have stayed twice now and will continue to stay. Ruth at the counter will do everyrhing in her power to insure you enjoy and come back.... Even boil eggs for you for breakfast if you mention it. An older motel but not much different than newer mid-range motels and kept up well.

I reserved for 3 nights, then stayed another. Spencer is typical Iowa. The rest of the country could use a few lessons from these people. My room was big, warm, clean, everything worked. There were even electrical outlets that I could use, instead of hidden in back of the bed. I always travel with a power strip for phones, Ipod,... More
