Used needles found in room. Yes. Really.
Upon pulling out the desk to create an eating area, I found a used syringe under the table. Later, when filling the coffee caddy, I found another and nearly jabbed it into my finger when reaching inside. Yes, really. Used needles. Oh, and they refuse to serve their advertised free breakfast due to Covid...that's fine, but that should be advertised on the site when booking, as the free breakfast was one of the reasons we booked it.

This place was terrible. They didn't tell us about a scheduled power outage. We spent the night with no power and had to get ready in the dark. The wifi didn't work when we did have power. There are a couple of other places to stay in Oskaloosa, go there

It was a very nice room. The lady at the front desk was awesome! Only one complaint, there was a lid from someone else’s shampoo bottle in the shower. I stayed 3 days and it was never picked up so I know the shower was never cleaned.

Just the basics........ friendly check in person and the room was clean, just nothing updated about it. Old motel and the room smelled a little musty. If you are sensitive to noise, the window A/C is not something you want running all the time

Unexpected creatures in bed
We went to that area to see the tulip festival in Pella. While the flowers were amazing, our stay in Oskaloosa was not. The motel's management was very responsive, the rooms inside looked okay. Outside the rooms (hallways) were not clean, and the ice station looked scary. We arrived late on a weeknight, so just crashed the first night. The second night, when getting ready to sleep, I noticed something moving on my bed...turned out to be bedbugs. Jumped out of bed, let Hotels.com know, packed, made sure we had no stowaways, and left. It was 11 p.m. The management was cooperative and helpful and even refunded one night, but the incident left a scar on us and we will always double check from now on.
