This property is a very good value. Very comfortable beds and spacious rooms. I've stayed there many times and the new owner has invested time and money to make this property the place to stay in NE Iowa.

This property has a cabin decor vibe. Decent breakfast.
We enjoyed our brief stay at this motel. It was very clean and warm. The beds had new mattresses, so they were uncomfortable.

A place worth staying and price very reasonable.
The room itself was nice and clean. Would stay there again. Very quite. Only issue was the bathroom window had no curtains.the bed was super soft which I liked but the wife didn’t care for. The outside looked abandoned or like a storage area. They are in the middle of a remodel though. So over all a nice location with a nice room and view at a great price. Will definitely stay there again.
Was in town to kayak and the motel was like 5 minutes away from the shuttle so it was very conveniently located.
Room was clean. Shower was nice. Bed was comfy. Only complaint I have is the walls are very thin and when the neighbors checked in kinda late with their energetic kid, well there was no sleeping through that. If they insulated the rooms a bit better, id have given it 5 stars.
Also, while we didnt go into dorchester (so i could be wrong) i didnt see a gas station in town on google maps, so make sure you plan accordingly.

The room was very clean. It look as if it was recently remodeled...clean carpet, fresh paint, new bed. But, no curtains on the bathroom window was a problem. I had to towel off in the shower and dress in the other room. The bathroom window also had no screen so I couldn't open the window. There was a bathroom fan that came on when the light was on. Nearest place to eat, was at least 15 - 20 minutes away. Same with groceries and gas. OK place to sleep after a day of fishing or hunting.
