We were looking for a place to stay near the acttivities at the Bridge festival. This was exactly what we wanted. The building is a bit dated but is in good condition and the employees were all very nice and helpful.

Comfortable place to stay
Room was very clean, it had a recent renovation. New flooring, paint, microwave, refrigerator, comfortable beds. The big plus for us is it is pet friendly, we always travel with our small hypoallergic dog. Plenty of space to take her out to potty, yes, we cleaned up after her. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay there again. Winterset is a nice, clean small town with a lot to offer. Enjoyed all the touristy sites.

OK, But A Better Breakfast Would Be Better!
We have stayed at this hotel many times. It's not fancy but it is clean and predictable. We were in Winterset for the Covered Bridge Festival with a large family group. Half of us stayed here, half at the only other hotel in town, the Cobblestone Inn. Cobblestone Inn was a slight upgrade at a slightly higher price, but it had a much better breakfast!

2/10 Poor

If these people want to remodel this hotel, then close it down and do it. You should be ashamed of yourself to be associated with this hotel! The room was dark and dirty. There was a mattresses and recliners and end tables and lamps and what else in the hallway! The outside had old airconditioners units and tv's under the canopy, could not drive through it. The two smal round tables with two chairs each was not sufficient for the people there. Plus the breakfest was a joke! A danish in a package, This was such a dump. We should sue for false advertising!! It was not fit for even an over night. But...it is what I booked through you and after driving ten hous we needed a break. Should not have had to pay at all for this service!!

Extremely expensive for state of the property. Wifi was very confusing to set up. Breakfast was pre-packaged muffins.

Super clean and quiet. In the middle of remodeling, so some clutter is OK, but an old toilet near an entrance is a bit off-putting.

Staff was friendly and helpful. They apologized for the inconvenience of remodeling rooms. They are definitely making it better

6/10 Good

This is a small independently run motel, With the folks who run it living there. Nothing unique or fancy. They had the AC turned off in the common areas on a humid day. Had to wait for the kids to go fetch dad to finish the check in process. The room itself was very basic with visibly tired furniture. The TV at first did not work but the Dad was able to fix it. They were obviously remodeling the downstair units as the hallway was packed with furniture etc. The price reflects what your going to experience.

2/10 Poor

We walked into our room which smelled musty. We requested another room. The owner was rude to us. Stating tbat we could leave and he would refund us. He stated that the room was not musty. The windows do not open. The beds felt damp. The owner said that he could come into the room to feel the beds. We checked in late and were too tired to go elsewhere. So we stayed. The bathroom had dust in the light fixture that was clumping. And the fan was loud. The TV turned on but there was no volume. There was something stuck in the USB ports on the alarm clock. It was black and tar like. It ruined two of my charger cords before I realized that it was there. I would maybe recommend this place to a person who cannot smell or taste. Or perhaps my worst enemy. It was gross. We will certainly not be back.

The Covered Bridge Inn is a modest property that could use a few upgrades like more electrical outlets for chargers. Otherwise the staff was very friendly and solicitous of me. The hallways and public areas are very clean as are the rooms. The towels are thick and bright white. I was in Winterset for a music festival, and it was nice to come back to a quiet place!
