Hotel Winneshiek

8/10 Good
"Friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. The room was small but comfortable and clean. The bedding could use a refresh and more comfortable pillows. It was nice to have a place to store our bikes. We enjoyed the lounge at night with helpful and knowledgeable bartenders. It was bit bright for our liking but had comfortable seating. Decorah is always a beautiful town to visit. The hotel is a convenient and comfortable place to stay."

"We had a great stay! Our room was huge, clean, and comfortable. The pool area looked very nice, although we didn’t get a chance to use it this time. The continental breakfast was good and had plenty of options. We’ll definitely be back!"
