"Wonderful country get-away! Rooms were clean and quaint. The farm was so fun to explore with lots of recycled metal sculptures throughout. Cute and friendly farm cats were a wonderful surprise! The hot breakfast (egg bake, warm Bundt coffee cake and fresh cut Georgia peaches) was the best breakfast I’ve had in a LONG time. Hosts sat with us during breakfast and shared amazing stories of the farm and their family. It was such a warm and personal end to the trip. I highly recommend The Cupola...

Top Clear Lake Hotel Reviews

Lakeside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We have fond memories of Clear Lake Iowa. This lodging is an 18 unit hotel. The units look over the lake. there was plenty of privacy. The owners are new as of last year and I sure it will continue to gain attention for the location the dining and bar services and costs. All management staff leave the property around 6 pm. The morning staff are great young students in or just completing their college degrees. The room has a refrigerator, microwave and Keurig coffee maker. If your an early riser the front office has a standard coffee pot set for 6 am that goes off automatically. It also has toaster, storage container for pastries or bread products and peanut butter and jelly. An artifact from the previous owners. We enjoyed the Sunset. I am a boomer and felt the room was attractive buy small. The price in my view was high but then again most places are high."

AmericInn by Wyndham Clear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"For an older hotel, everything seemed fairly well maintained and clean. It's had updates done and was a nice place to stay. Pool and whirlpool area was clean and enjoyable to use. Front desk staff were helpful and knowledgeable regarding a billing hold that came across. Very friendly as well. Breakfast options were numerous and made for a great start to the day."

Super 8 by Wyndham Clear Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was easy and quick. The room was clean, had toilet paper, soaps and shampoo. The tv worked well, Air conditioning was cold, bed was comfy, good water pressure, plus breakfast included. If you're in town and need a place to rest, I'd recommend stopping."
