Quaint little hotel in the heart of Okoboji. Across the street from the Lake and two blocks from the amusement park, shopping, and dinning. Hotel was clean, had nice large rooms, friendly staff, and a nice restaurant/bar attached.

Overall good. Hours of restaurant isn’t ideal. Enhance stay with a breakfast option would be a great bonus for this place. Also, it’s a boating community and they surely don’t seem to be embracing this for their guests with boats. They actually were fairly rude about it and we have a nice boat so it was frustrating to want to stay again for those reasons.

Extra Effort

This property has been renovated & has a modern, clean & luxurious feel. We were only there for a few brief hours to shower & sleep so felt like we probably missed out, but the location is excellent. BUT HUGE SHOUTOUT to the staff. I left my Ipad and the housekeeper turned it in. The front desk staff called me and helped me get it sorted out. They were so nice and helpful and it just says a lot to me about their integrity!!!

Room was comfortable. The only issue I had was there was a strange thumping noise through out the night. Sounded like wind blowing something around outside my window.
