Quaint little hotel in the heart of Okoboji. Across the street from the Lake and two blocks from the amusement park, shopping, and dinning. Hotel was clean, had nice large rooms, friendly staff, and a nice restaurant/bar attached.

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall good. Hours of restaurant isn’t ideal. Enhance stay with a breakfast option would be a great bonus for this place. Also, it’s a boating community and they surely don’t seem to be embracing this for their guests with boats. They actually were fairly rude about it and we have a nice boat so it was frustrating to want to stay again for those reasons.
