Scenic Valley Motel

Worst motel we've ever stayed in. We seriously thought about leaving, but rationalized it was only 1 night. The room was infested with lady bugs. I got a vacuum cleaner from an employee and spent 25-minutes sucking up lad bugs. Then sporadically over the next two hours, sucking up more lady bugs as they came out of hiding. The bed sheets had rips. The towels were paper thin. The bathroom is so small it was difficult to maneuver. Light shone through the edges of the door to the balcony - hmmm, wonder how the lady bugs got in! Water was HARD. Beds were HARD. Far from worthy the $70 we were charged. Oh, and walls are paper thin. Heard quite clearly the conversations taking place in the adjacent room.

Bed was not great but I slept like a rock. Heater was struggling with -5 outside. Wish the lamp had a shade. But I'd stay again. Shower soap is potent, wouldn't use it again.

Nice, clean, quiet, next time I want to get the cabin or the single queen bed room. Everything worked as it should, I'm a tall man so shower was a little small, but still had good pressure and hot water.

I got to the motel at 5:30pm. No one was there and no text or email on check in code or room number. Called the number for the motel and no one answered. Called the booking company and let them know the situation. Someone was supposed to call to call or text me with check in information.|At 7:30pm I called booking company back and they said they could cancel the reservation for me.|I never got my room or stayed there but Scenic Valley Motel is not refunding my money because I cancelled the reservation.|Everything above is a fact anything else is bs.

Motel room was clean and perfectly sized to fit my needs as someplace to sleep and shower during the week for work. The owner is great to work with and very attentive. Room didn’t have any odors and the bedding was comfortable and the bed and pillows are great. Room had direct tv and Roku so even though you’re in small town Iowa, you don’t need to be isolated like it.
