This quaint little hotel was easy to check in and out of. The room was very clean except for a little gravel dirt on the carpet. We felt perfectly safe letting my baby crawl on the floor. Would definitely stay here again!

The Trail Inn was cute and charming right in the center of amana. You could walk to all the shops and restaurants near by to the cutest German stores. The rooms were clean and well kept and staff was attentive if there were any questions.

The room was clean and adequate. The bed was less comfortable than many we have slept on. Air conditioning was more than adequate and parking was very convenient. It was likely the best for the money in the area.
