Moravia, IA

Travel Guide

People say that Mid America is the most boring to drive through. I half heatedly disagree. Driving expressway, your right, but, get off the freeway, take a highway. It becomes one of the best places to drive. Big fields, old farms, old houses, Amish, green fields, and fences. New things every half mile. I was fascinated how driving through the same thing, farms, could still be new and interesting for hours. Best part...you can average 65 😉 or better. Only 10 miles below expressway speeds. So get off the expressway, find a parallel highway and enjoy rural America.

Beds comfortable. Bathroom clean and new. Pool and hot tub in good shape. Both could have been warmer/hotter for my preference. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. I recommend this place for a reasonably priced stay and friendly service.

If the beach is closed, or you don't have $350 to rent a boat for 4 hours and you didn't bring your own food, there's not much to do here.
