It was neat to stay in a historic property. In a Quality Inn or Comfort Inn style hotel, the thick carpeting would have been suspicious regarding cleanliness, but it was nice here. I would have liked to see formal photos and a description display about this property, like in a museum.

We stayed at Decker Hotel and Bar in Maquoketa for 3 nights with our toddler and infant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel completely at home – they were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. The hotel itself is charming and full of character, with each room being unique. We stayed in the one-bedroom king room with a hot tub and absolutely loved it – the jets were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The bedding was the comfiest we’ve ever slept on, making each night a dream. The decor is quirky and old-world, and the heritage property is beautifully maintained. The high ceilings and spacious rooms added to the feeling of comfort and elegance. We highly recommend Decker Hotel and Bar to anyone visiting Maquoketa – it’s a warm, welcoming, and memorable place to stay.

We loved our stay. From the outside the hotel looks run down and not operational but once inside it is gorgeous. The staff were so nice and shared the history of the building. Beautiful old hotel from 1870. Each room is decorated differently. The staircase defines grand. Bed was very comfortable and it was so quiet. We will be back for sure.

Historic grandeur that needs some TLC to retain its glory. Clean and pretty, but a bit forgotten, it seems.

The staff was very friendly - greeted us everytime we walked in. And helpful by carrying our suitcase up the steps. It is an older building so the rooms are smaller but we expected that and enjoyed the individual charm and the coziness. There was a Mexican restaurant on the same block which was nice to walk to and the food was good.

The hotel is pretty cool because it is historic and on the main street. The rooms are small but again, it is a historic hotel. Noise comes from the halls easily. Our bed was a double, not the queen we reserved and it was also very noisy. I know it sounds bad :) but even the tiniest movements in the bed were loud and would wake me up. Comfort and cleanliness were okay. Also, bring a blow dryer if you use one, they are not included. Check in and out were extremely easy and quick.

GOOD: room clean and well kept, good water pressure, quiet hotels, bed and linens good BAD: the name of the place is Decker Hotel and Bar. but the bar and restaurant were closed. no note of this when i made the reservation. I wasn't able to get a clear answer as to if it was a temporary or permanent problem because the host who was there all weekend barely spoke english. He would answer but i really struggled to understand what he was saying.

The Decker Hotel & Bar was very quaint. The staff was accommodating and friendly. They had a cute little bar where we could enjoy a lovely cocktail. Fully enjoyed the town of Maquoketa IA. If you go to the Maquoketa Cave State Park and need a place to stay look up the Decker Hotel & Bar. Fully enjoyed the town of Maquoketa IA

The hotel has a bit of that run down feeling. The lobby and especially the hallways are quite dark but the room itself was very clean and comfortable! The price was reasonable and I would recommend it.

Coolest Hotel Stay

Very unique and comfortable stay. Spacious and beautifully decorated rooms and each one unique from the other. The bed was so comfortable and we had been sleeping at mostly chain hotels and we got some excellent sleep at the Decker Hotel. Our room came with cute views of the quaint downtown area and the staff was super accommodating to our every need. They left us a personal put together breakfast outside the door the next morning too! Overall a really unique and fun stay for all of my family. Highly recommend you stay here if you’re passing through Iowa.

Quiet and Comfy

We had a comfortable bed with a big room, but the hotel itself is very run down. We did not see anyone else staying there during our trip. The restaurant is closed but they still have signs around advertising it. The service was helpful and good but it needs an overhaul.
