We loved our stay. From the outside the hotel looks run down and not operational but once inside it is gorgeous. The staff were so nice and shared the history of the building. Beautiful old hotel from 1870. Each room is decorated differently. The staircase defines grand. Bed was very comfortable and it was so quiet. We will be back for sure.

Quaint historic hotel. The Presidential Suite was spacious and unique. Upgrades to the jacuzzi tub and bathroom provided added comfort. Staff very attentive. Only drawback was lack of restaurant on site and very limited breakfast - but other restaurants in walking distance. Pleasant stay after visiting nearby Maquoketa Caves.

Beautiful historic building in downtown Maquoketa. While it might lack some of the amenities of more modern hotels, it.more than makes up for it character and ambiance. The host that greeted us was very friendly, courteous and nice. Offered to help carry our bags up to our third floor room. It is within walking distance to Maquoketa Brewing and other businesses downtown. Overall would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice peaceful place to stay and would definitely stay here again.

Front desk was very nice and lobby is beautiful. This hotel is historic and has a very European feel in the rooms (high ceilings, bathrooms, antique furniture). Everything was spotless, bathrooms small but very clean and refreshed. Shower/tub was excellent and new. We didn't have a hair dryer in the room, but was able to ask for one without problem. Furnishings are very solid. It is currently the best option for the area, hands down. Small town downtown but many eating options all around. We will stay here again!

Amazing room. Interesting hotel.

Our room was amazing! It was one of the most amazing rooms I’ve ever stayed in. There is no restaurant or bar, even though it’s in the name. The breakfast was simple but ok.

The hotel is pretty cool because it is historic and on the main street. The rooms are small but again, it is a historic hotel. Noise comes from the halls easily. Our bed was a double, not the queen we reserved and it was also very noisy. I know it sounds bad :) but even the tiniest movements in the bed were loud and would wake me up. Comfort and cleanliness were okay. Also, bring a blow dryer if you use one, they are not included. Check in and out were extremely easy and quick.

The place is beautiful if you like history take time to read the front desk newspaper clippings. The beds are very soft and bouncy they do not have a lot of support but I still slept. The neighboring spot is a car lot which uses very bright lights all night long so make sure to keep your blinds closed tightly. The lounge and restaurant were closed. We saw one staff member. He was very nice and attentive.

The staff was very friendly - greeted us everytime we walked in. And helpful by carrying our suitcase up the steps. It is an older building so the rooms are smaller but we expected that and enjoyed the individual charm and the coziness. There was a Mexican restaurant on the same block which was nice to walk to and the food was good.

First off, there is no restaurant or bar, and no breakfast that we were aware of. The staff was friendly, room was clean and quiet. The bed needs to be replaced as it sagged in the middle. Good water pressure and temp in the shower. For the price, I give 3 stars. I love historic buildings, but this hotel definitely could use some TLC.

GOOD: room clean and well kept, good water pressure, quiet hotels, bed and linens good BAD: the name of the place is Decker Hotel and Bar. but the bar and restaurant were closed. no note of this when i made the reservation. I wasn't able to get a clear answer as to if it was a temporary or permanent problem because the host who was there all weekend barely spoke english. He would answer but i really struggled to understand what he was saying.

This old historic hotel is a gem. The manager upgraded us to a beautiful suite with a king size bed without my asking. Super spacious with a jacuzzi tub. Bed was comfy and so were the pillows. Hotel is in the heart of the old downtown in Maquoketa. Great place to stay if you’re visiting the caves. Frig, microwave and Keurig coffee maker in the room. The only disappointment was breakfast. No pastries, breads or juice. Very small selection, but we made do. Overall a wonderful place to stay.
