Beautiful property and well-maintained. We booked through Expedia and didn’t get the room that we thought we were so it was a little bit of tight quarters. Otherwise, everything was amazing and the views were stunning!!!

Eagle View operates essentially like an Air BnB. You won't see any staff, and you will check in by way of code. The property has lovely views, and our room was clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet. Be aware that if you rent the cottage, you are renting the backside of the laundry -- with a view of the parking lot. Nevertheless, it's such a lovely area that you probably won't be spending much time in your room. The view over the river is incredible, and the bird life in the area is a treat. Yes, you will view eagles!

Charming little motel. Clean rooms, comfy bed and stocked with soap and shampoo etc. We felt safe, dead bolts, code locks and well lit at night. View was amazing. If I ever need to return to Iowa I would not hesitate to stay here again. Staff was helpful and friendly. Felt like a cabin not a motel (we were in the King and Queen Suite)
