I try to avoid chains when I travel, and stay in the older motels on the road. This one was not spectacular, but didn't disappoint. It's a very large complex. I would guess the main part was built in the '60s. When I checked in, the people at the front desk were very nice. I paid about $55 with tax... more

We were in Decorah for Luther College's Family Day. All of the hotels book up at least one year in advance--except for this one.

This place is in a small town with a lot of character. This hotel has none. It needs to be completely redecorated and painted. The decor dates back to the 1980's with lots of ducks with bows pictures and dried floral arrangements. There are magazines EVERYWHERE. It felt totally cluttered. The people are very nice, If you want a place... more
