The woman who checked me in was very friendly. Unfortunately, that was the only positive thing…read moreabout the room. I booked my stay through Priceline, but I was supposed to pay when I got to the motel. They did not have my reservation when I got there. She was able to give me a room. The room had not been aired, so it was stale and musty smelling. I turned the air conditioner on immediately, which eventually helped some. The faded carpet was damp. There was a mini fridge, but it wasn't plugged in, so it took a while to get cold. The towels provided were stained with makeup from previous guests, and there was only one full sized towel. There were no toiletries of any kind provided. The bathroom floor was littered with dead flies. There were no hangers hanging from the rack that substituted for a closet. This was the cheapest option I could find for staying in Charles City, but it would have been worth it to pay a little more. I went to high school here in the early 1990's, and I don't think the rooms have been updated at all since then. It's too bad.

I don't know why it says 'closed' when I was just there last month for a wedding and apparently…read morelots of people have special events here. This place makes a great venue to hold a wedding reception but with this in mind many people who are not from the Midwest that may show up to such things need to keep in mind the oppressive humidity in Iowa. The wedding reception I went to really was decorated pretty on the inside but to the venue's disadvantage there is no air conditioning so after just a few brief minutes of dancing many people had to go outside to cool off and it was very hot outside to begin with. The moral of this story is hold your receptions here in the spring or fall.

This is a classic ballroom, they have recently updated their cooling system which is a big bonus…read more Nice place for a reception or other event. Nice people to work with.

Just want to give a shout out to Otto's Oasis and all of their wonderfully creative staff for doing…read moresuch a stellar job of spreading joy in the world. A couple of years ago, in a quandry about what I could give my mother for her birthday, I approached Christopher and asked if it would be possible to have a monthly floral arrangement delivered to her. Not only was he supportive of my request, but every single month our expectations are surpassed by the beauty, creativity and longevity of the arrangements that arrive on her doorstep. Especially during this past year of incredible isolation, that monthly delivery has been such a bright spot for Mom, and amazingly they almost always last until it's nearly time for the next. With so many of us frequently struggling to think of gifts for our loved ones that won't just add to the clutter or lie dormant and unused, I highly recommend tapping into Otto's Oasis for a regularly-scheduled, beautifully created fresh spot of sunshine and reminder of your love!

It's only about $50 per night to stay here, and it's great as a last resort, since most hotels were totally full due to the Independence Day holiday. You also get a free homemade breakfast, and you can eat it outside on the large porch while watching the birds and cats. Examples of breakfast entrees served are a breakfast quiche, breakfast casserole, and french toast. The couple who owns the inn is friendly too, and they like to come over and chat while you're eating. Because of this, I added a star to the rating. Otherwise, I would not stay here. There is no internet access, free wi-fi, cell phone service, or even phone in the rooms. No amenities, such as shampoo, conditioner, razor, or soap, is provided. I think this is bad when you've been traveling on an airplane. You are provided access to a refrigerator (unlimited sodas and bottled water - though they ran out of water) and microwave. There really isn't housekeeping service. The trash cans are never emptied (really bad after you've been on a road trip), the bed is never made for you, sheets aren't changed during your stay, and towels are replaced every other day (it seems). The worst part of the stay though was the smell of hydrogen sulfide whenever you ran the water. Because of this, I won't stay here again. If someone takes a shower, the whole room smells like rotten eggs, and it's disgusting. The same applies to brushing your teeth. If you brushed your teeth and used the tap water instead of bottled water, you'd have this rancid taste in your mouth. Gross!

There is very limited access to our everyday technologies, but it is also great to be able to quietly think and read on the front porch. Sandy and I stayed here from 8/1/2018 through 8/11/2018 and loved every minute of it. Judy made a wonderful country breakfast every morning, and Dale pretty well stayed out of her way, while regaling us with History and stories of rural life gone by. It is a working farm, but the Mills take time to help us enjoy the hospitality. Also, ask Dale for a quick canoe trip, it absolutely makes the trip, and is is incredibly relaxing.
