It was neat to stay in a historic property. In a Quality Inn or Comfort Inn style hotel, the thick carpeting would have been suspicious regarding cleanliness, but it was nice here. I would have liked to see formal photos and a description display about this property, like in a museum.

We stayed at Decker Hotel and Bar in Maquoketa for 3 nights with our toddler and infant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel completely at home – they were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. The hotel itself is charming and full of character, with each room being unique. We stayed in the one-bedroom king room with a hot tub and absolutely loved it – the jets were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The bedding was the comfiest we’ve ever slept on, making each night a dream. The decor is quirky and old-world, and the heritage property is beautifully maintained. The high ceilings and spacious rooms added to the feeling of comfort and elegance. We highly recommend Decker Hotel and Bar to anyone visiting Maquoketa – it’s a warm, welcoming, and memorable place to stay.

Great Stay for historic building

The room was as I expected for a turn of the century building. Very quant room was smaller than newer hotels but that was just perfect for me. The bathroom is in suite but lack counter or storage due to the size. The bath/shower is full sized. Room did have its own ac /heat controls. They requested that I let them know when I wanted them in to clean since I was for 6 days. When I asked they did. This place is great for solo travelers as well as couples. Families should be fine in the bigger suites. It’s a great stay.

Nice historic place.

Nice historic hotel. Would have liked a little more of a breakfast and didn’t find an ice machine. Had an elevator to get to the 3rd floor. Would stay again.

Unique 150y/o hotel. Had a feeling of stepping back in time, walking through the doors. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was a bit small, but manageable. Bathroom was clean, though the sink sprayed everywhere when used. Bath towels were cleaned, but had some big holes in some of them. Beds were noisy and not very comfortable, but they served their purpose.we appreciated the free breakfast, though it was lacking as it was only apples, bananas, granola bars, yogurt, milk, cereal, and a microwaveable sausage and biscuit. Still not sure where the bar/restaurant was at, as the signs for its location were not very clear and you could not walk through the hotel, you had to go out of the hotel to find it. Overall, the Decker served its purpose and made for a unique place to stay.

Beautiful historic building in downtown Maquoketa. While it might lack some of the amenities of more modern hotels, it.more than makes up for it character and ambiance. The host that greeted us was very friendly, courteous and nice. Offered to help carry our bags up to our third floor room. It is within walking distance to Maquoketa Brewing and other businesses downtown. Overall would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice peaceful place to stay and would definitely stay here again.

The staff was very friendly - greeted us everytime we walked in. And helpful by carrying our suitcase up the steps. It is an older building so the rooms are smaller but we expected that and enjoyed the individual charm and the coziness. There was a Mexican restaurant on the same block which was nice to walk to and the food was good.

Front desk was very nice and lobby is beautiful. This hotel is historic and has a very European feel in the rooms (high ceilings, bathrooms, antique furniture). Everything was spotless, bathrooms small but very clean and refreshed. Shower/tub was excellent and new. We didn't have a hair dryer in the room, but was able to ask for one without problem. Furnishings are very solid. It is currently the best option for the area, hands down. Small town downtown but many eating options all around. We will stay here again!
