Wife and I stayed 1 night for Oktoberfest. Fantastic location for the purpose we needed it for. Room 223 and overall property/grounds were exceptionally clean and well maintained. The little town of Amana was cute and people were fun and friendly. If we ever return for a future Oktoberfest, The Trail Inn will be the first place I check for availability. Thank you, Trail Inn and Amana for a fun weekend.

The room was quaint and comfortable. The large bathroom was appreciated. The reservation, arrival, and checkout absolutely seamless. We were traveling through from South Dakota to Ohio, it was the perfect middle point to stop. The town is absolutely pristine and looked delightful. We hope to return and stay a few days just to visit your lovely town and shop the shops. What a gem you have. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your fine establishment
