If you're staying the night in Osceola and you aren't there for the casino, then all you really…read moreneed is a clean and comfortable room that's within walking distance of the downtown bars. :) The Blue Haven is perfect for that. It's cheap, it's locally owned, and it's run by nice people who go out of their way to take care of you. So skip the chains and head on into town to stay at the Blue Haven.

I decided to stay at this hotel based on the one other review of it on Yelp. What a disappointment!…read more It smelled musty, peeling paint on the doors, a very scary shower, a dripping faucet, not one hanger in the equally scary closet. It was all I could do to stay the night instead of just giving up my money and finding a decent place to sleep. I see why they make you pay upfront. I'm not that picky (I've been in the army and the back roads of China), but this is pretty bad.

Very nice accommodations! The suite was great. The rooms were all clean and modern and really well…read moreput together and decorated. There was a ceiling fan in one bedroom and a pedestal fan in the other which was perfect because we forgot the one we usually take. The bathroom was beautiful with gorgeous tile in the shower. There was a washer/dryer in the suite and there was even laundry detergent available which was a nice touch. We didn't need it, but very handy to have just in case. We only stayed overnight so we didn't use the kitchen, but it looked really well fitted out. Would be a great place for an extended stay. Just a really lovely place and we enjoyed it very much.

The decor varies and I am sure there is a cabin that will suit you, several have gas fire places, and each cabin that I have stayed in has had a very comfy bed. There are full size refrigerators and a microwave too. There are BBQ grills there for easy grilling and picnic tables too. There is a State Park adjacent to the cabins that offers great fishing, hiking and exploring. I truly believe that this place is the Best place to stay in Southern Iowa. They offered us working guys a great rate when the other motels in that area wanted an arm and a leg for a basic room that doesn't come close to the cabins. If you are ever going to be in Southern Iowa, make your reservations early. This place fills up and for good reason. I hope to return next week and update this review with several pictures.
