The staff was helpful and kind, even asking if we needed help with our luggage. The room was very clean and spacious. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was a lot of variety, and tasted good. We found out you are a pet friendly motel, so on our next trip, we can bring our dog! A big plus!!!

The workers were so kind and helpful! We were there for a music festival so they were booked up, but when we called and requested an earlier checkin time they were flexible and made it happen for us! The staff are very accommodating and you can tell that they want their guests to be comfortable and enjoy their stay.

Clean hotel and a nice location.

This was a nice hotel to stay at when we visited Winterset. The hotel was extremely clean. Spotless. Breakfast was nice and no problems during our stay. We were able to easily drive to see all of the Covered Bridges in the area from this hotel.

The staff was very welcoming. The room, including the bathroom, was clean and well appointed. The bed/pillows were comfortable. Off the main road so it was quiet. We didn't eat the continental breakfast so can't review that. Close to restaurants and park.

We found the Covered Bridge Inn to be perfect for our needs. The Owner was very accommodating. My husband is unable to carry/lift things so the Owner came out and helped me bring in our luggage. He was very pleasant, recommended places to eat and things to see. Great stay, would recommend.

Smelly Room

Only hotel to go to for Winterset. Breakfast was in a converted room. Eggs were chemical egg whites and the condiments were Walmart rejects. A banana was the best thing. Room was musty and you could not open window. We left the door open to the hall and ran the shower to get the smell out. How this place rated high is a mystery. To all of you out there, ask to see the room first before you pay. We are going to do this from now on.
