We have stayed here last summer and it was great. My only issue was the mattress in our room was a little too hard for mine and my husband's comfort. The owner and her family are super nice and sweet. Rooms are clean and plenty big that your not banging around against walls and the showers have hot water and great pressure! Already booked our room for next years week long county fair!

Great place to stay!

We have stayed here a couple of times. The family running this establishment are amazing. The wifi is a little wonky. But it is clean, the beds are comfy and they are continuously improving the property.

Hair dryers are no longer available in the room. We had to go get towels for the room. Shower had no hot water. Had to put on the new roll of toilet paper when we first got there. We have stayed here before and had a good experience. This time was a deal breaker. Maybe it changed hands? We won't go back again.

Lovely Stay!

I recently stayed at this motel and had a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to local attractions and dining options. My room was spotless and well-maintained, making for a very comfortable stay. I would definitely recommend this motel to anyone looking for a pleasant and affordable place to stay!

We had a very friendly welcome with the owner offering us special "tulip" cookies and milk from her own fridge! Very friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend staying here. We came for the tulip festival in Pella and glad we stayed here.

Stayed in town for one night to visit our daughter. Just needed a clean, no frills place to stay. The room was adequate for what we needed. It was clean and had a comfortable bed. That is all we needed.

I liked the comfort of the bed. I did not like the outside surrounding area was dirty and old. Also, when I booked the reservation the motel said the King size beds were full. When I checked in the motel was empty and it was a late check-in.

The property looks like it was probably built in the 1970’s but the rooms are clean have a mini fridge and microwave in them and have been updated. If you are looking to save money this place is not bad. Had to wait awhile for the desk clerk to check us in but overall we are satisfied with our stay.

Nice stay for the price

What a fantastic little place. It doesn’t look like anything special from the outside, but it was very nice in the rooms. A very sweet lady checked us in, offered us waters, and even had little Tulip cookies for the Tulip Time Festival in Pella. Super sweet and kind and made us feel welcome. Bed was comfortable and the stay worked out great. Only complaint was the overwhelming fragrance smell when we first got to the room - might be a cleaner or detergent. I am sensitive to smells and get migraines so we left for dinner and had to leave the window open and return with our own cinnamon air freshener (helps mask). My husband could smell it so but wasn’t super bothered by it, but this was the only thing I would improve.

Day light through door frame
