Hotels in Oskaloosa

"Clean rooms, Continental Breakfast had scrambled eggs, sausage links and the usual. Minutes to where we needed to go. Parking was no issue."

"Don’t count on breakfast. Very limited selection and when things ran out, they were not restocked until the next morning. Very few restaurants near by. Room was clean, but outdated. Also, hotel charged a $10 (plus tax) “safe use fee” even though my reservation via Hotels.com said all fees & taxes were included. They told me they would refund that fee, but it still has not been refunded to my card. "

"The ac was strong. But being next to a busy road with door and windows leaking light that at no point left the room what i would consider dark. The front desk was helpful for replacing the towels and such, however the apparent lack of and noise isoation is a negative. Every step or thought of out upstairs neighbors sounded like a horde of wild animals(assuming they weren't just rowdy) and the beds weird thin metal frame thing made my movements echo as the metal flexed."

"Great location and amenities. The room was very nice. "

"This hotel is in a great location in Lawrence - downtown and on the river. I had a riverside room and had a great view of the river and all the activity that takes place there. I'm a birder, and while I wasn't there for that purpose, I saw dozens of birds, including a few new ones during my stay. Eastern Phoebe's, Yellow-rumped warblers and a Kestral were all frequent visitors right outside my window, while the Canada Geese were vocal during most of the daylight hours that I was in my room. The TV in my room had lousy reception - everything was pixelated. I wasn't there to watch TV, so it wasn't a big deal, but it would've been a bummer if there was something I'd wanted to watch. Also, the back deck could use some TLC - lamps are broken, lots of leaves and other evidence that it's not regularly swept or cleaned. The staff were excellent and kind. They broke a role of quarters for me before I headed to the KU campus (the last time I'd been there the visitor parking required coins). I didn't need to use them and they readily took the quarters back. It was small, but kind. I plan to stay here again."

"Room was just mediocre. A/C needed service and was loud! Beds are not comfortable."

"This is an old hotel and needs updating. Communication needs a lot of improvement. I booked this hotel on expedia. The did not mention that the room I booked was not in the hotel building but instead was a motel room. I would not have booked it if I had known. When I asked for a room inside, they said they were full. In addition, the room had an odor. It seemed like cigarette smoke but might have been something else. The sheets were worn and yellowed in spots. I called the front desk to tell them the room smelled like cigarettes smoke and my eyes were burning from it. They said that was not possible because all of their rooms are non smoking. No alternatives were offered. I will not stay here again."

"Needs a shower that has shower doors and needs better lighting in the restroom. Breakfast hours aren't convenient especially when people on vacation. "

"This hotel needs a complete overhaul. I should’ve looked at the Google reviews and not just Expedia reviews. I would have noticed that there have been elevators that are not functional for over four months now. That’s ridiculous! All guess staying in the tower portion of this property must take a small service elevator that takes forever because everyone is using it as it is the only means of getting to the rooms other than taking the stairs. The odor that smacks you in the face every time I exit the service elevator onto the fourth floor, where I stayed, is absolutely horrendous! I did not feel comfortable walking barefoot in my hotel room. I created a path made up of towels and sheets that I could walk on because the carpet just felt grimy and the room was musty and stinky. And probably the most frustrating part is that my hotel key kept getting unprogrammed so I had to walk the equivalent of three city blocks each and every time this occurred. I was told the same thing each time by the person at the desk. “ oh, so if your cell phone or credit card comes in contact with your room key, it can de-magnetized it” I accepted that the first time I heard it. I intentionally kept my room key in a pocket far away from anything that might affect its programming, but yet again, I was locked out of my room and had to walk all the way down to the front desk to get my keys reprogrammed. This place is just a hot mess. Never Again!"
