She was professional, but kind of cool and not particularly friendly or conversational when I attempted to engage about the local area, the hotel, etc. The other reason for a one star deduct is that there is just about nothing else conveniently located to the hotel. Food, etc, you are basically on your own. No restaurants or anything. Each of those things merit a half star deduction in my mind, total of one down. I'd stay again. Likely it had just been a long day for the person checking us in. The room was very nice, clean, etc. Excellent access to the highway. 4/5 for sure, which is pretty good.

It's in the fine details like these that the love of hospitality shows. Thank you Nathan and Rud.

Recently, I needed to be in Maquoketa, Iowa, for a wedding, and I was glad to learn of the highly reviewed Squiers Manor B&B. With short notice I was able to make a reservation in the Beulah Room, named after one of the Squiers daughter's who grew up and was married in the house, whose father the house was built for. It was a lovely room with a twin bed for our 9 year old daughter, and at a most reasonable price too. The furnishings in our room and all the others we were able to see, were stunning. This may have been the finest B&B I have ever stayed in anywhere in the US and Canada. But not only was the building grand, and furnishings fantastic (Kathy and her husband are antique dealers and have searched high and low for the most amazing furnishings for their B&B), the hospitality was grand too. Kathy accommodated our need to check in a bit before standard check in between 4-8pm, and kindly greeted us and gave us a full tour of the house. If we have any disappointment at all, it was that we could not stay longer, enjoy the evening dessert or partake of the morning breakfast. We have heard it is great. We can't wait to get back to Maquoketa again and visit Squiers Manor again, and we would tell you to make a reservation here if you are passing through or staying for a few days in the area, it is a MAGNIFICENT B&B.

Yeah people, most folks who stay in hotel/motel rooms plan to sleep. I would not recommend anyone staying there unless you have packed ear plugs.

I called prior to check the rate of the room as I seen online the price was listed at $127 a night and wanted to confirm before I drove 30 minutes out of my way to Dyersville. The price was confirmed. We arrived and my husband went in and paid for the room with my card. The next morning on my way home I looked at my online banking and it stated I was charged $190 for the room. I immediately called the hotel back and asked why the charge was so high and she said that was the rate of my room. After telling her this is not the price I was quoted when I called, she said no one told me that. The manager was supposed to call me that afternoon and never did. It's been 3 weeks now and still no one has called to even address this issue. I have no problem spending $190 on a hotel room. I would NEVER spend $190 on the hotel room I stayed in that evening. The bedding was dirty. I ended up sleeping on the small sofa with my own blanket that evening. The breakfast was junk. The staff obviously is horrible.

At 3pm, still no room.......we had four rooms, but the party had pretty much the entire hotel. At 4pm, still no room....but someone walked in the door at 4:05 and they received a room. At 4:15 again, I went to the front desk. Up to this point "Dave" was helping us. He was busy and an older taller lady with long dark & gray hair "helped" us. This is where it got ugly. The lady was the rudest hotel person I have ever met. I asked for answers to why and when. All she did was give me a nasty smirk and I actually told her to remove that smirk. I asked for the Manager, she said the Manager could not do anything about it. I asked again, within 15 minutes we had the Manager. We explain the guarantee we received when booking the Wedding and that we had a pre-wedding party to get to an an hour. She said they were having staffing issues and our four rooms have not been released yet. I informed her, I went to our rooms and the doors were open. The rooms were clean. She explained they have been inspected as complete yet. I explained to her that people have walked in and received rooms. I explained to her she needs to swap out rooms for people standing in the lobby vs. people who have not arrived. 15 minutes later we had three rooms. While standing with the manager as she clicked on her computer, I heard another guest ask the tall long haired lady, "What is going on?, Why aren't rooms ready" The same rude lady behind the counter which smirked at me...........Told the other guest, "It's none of your business." Wow. I thought her husband was going to jump over the counter at Ms. Tall & Rude. The next day I caught a room cleaner in the hallway and said they did not have to do a complete clean on our room. Just give us towels and coffee. We received NOTHING. Hotel Millwright way over promised and way under delivered. I'm shocked at the lady behind the counter. Dave (behind the counter) was nice.. The Manager did not have her arms around the operation. She made people stand in the lobby for an hour and a half while rooms were available, just not reassigned. Regarding the reception.......the facility was nice. However, certain food items ran out before all guests were fed. The bar was understaffed and the lines were long. Hope this review finds many people and saves you from the Millwright.
