My friends and I visited the Decker Hotel for lunch. We are from Wisconsin and were on our way to LeClaire for the Twilight Riverboat cruise. The dining room was beautiful. The room sunny and airy. The service was excellent. The cuisine delicious. The soup was perhaps the tastiest soup I've ever enjoyed. Beef vegetable-full of tender slices of beef.... More

I met my daughter in Maquoketa to hike in the Caves State Park. I chose to stay at the Decker House for a change of scenery.

My wife and I, along with another couple, stayed at the Decker House Hotel the weekend of October 15-16. As it was the 2nd stay for all four of us, we knew what to expect:great service, fun bar, beautiful rooms, all at reasonable prices. The hotel was full, so we had to get the smaller rooms, which were fine. The... More

good place to spend halloween. I was visiting a friend and I think my room was haunted. I got an eerie feeling and then later that night my electricity went out and I had to switch rooms. It was quite riviting, but I felt very welcome by the people there...that were alive.
