I love to find the smaller non-chain places and the Western Inn seems to be such a place. It's not fancy but the room were spacious and clean, the staff was friendly, and the bed was comfortable. It also came with a decent breakfast spread that was more than adequate. It may not appeal to the high-end traveler but, for... more

The Western Inn offers a pool, wireless internet in the rooms, a breakfast included in the rate, and clean, comfortable accommodations at a very reasonable rate. It is easy to find off the highway and a nice bar/restaurant is located next door. All in all, the Western Inn offers its guests a nice place to stay in western Iowa. more

This Western Inn was the best. We found it through the AAA book, and it did not disappoint. The pool was great, the chocolate chip cookies were delicious, the room and beds were wonderful, and the breakfast in the morning was more than adequate. We walked to the Bar & Grill next door and had a reasonably priced meal. The... more

My wife and I stayed at the Western Inn on our way to our daughters college indoor trackmeet. The weather was not good and it snowed all night. We asked information about the casinos and were given great advice on where to go. The next morning we found out that our car was slid into by another vehicle because of... more

We just returned from our 2 day stay at the Western Inn. It was the worst motel we have ever stayed at. The front desk staff is rude. The room was filthy and stunk of cigarette smoke yet they claim to be a smoke-free facility. The bed was like sleeping on plywood and there were disgusting stains all over the... more

When we pulled into the hotel to register we noticed that next door was a place called Mosquito Saloon. The place was packed and it was just early afternoon on a Friday. We went out for the evening and when we returned we had to park way in the back because the saloon patrons took up most of the parking.... more
