Top Palo Alto County Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

8/10 Good

"My room was super clean. For an older motel it was painted and fresh and new looking and I live parking right in front of my door. The property had baskets of flowers at each door which were stunning. A wonderful touch and the pricing was extremely good considering being the the lakes area of NW Iowa. Will definitely recommend to others and stay again when I'm in the area."

Vintage Block Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I was a solo traveler who stayed for one night only, but it was a good night's stay for a quite reasonable price. Had I traveled with a larger group who stayed for longer, I would have been able to get even more value from the place. My room had 2 queen beds and a daybed for the couch. The bathroom was smallish, but adequate, and clean. Inside the main room was another sink, if I recall correctly, and not a full sized refrigerator, but a larger hotel fridge. I didn't think to try the TV until my checkout morning, but it looked like I would have been able to log into different streaming services. In the center of the horseshoe shaped driveway, was a small pool, a covered deck, and different seating areas in the grass, under the trees, and amenities like lawn games and fire pits. I did eat their breakfast on my checkout morning. It wasn't anything that fancy, but did have cereals, at least one kind of bread, and bagels by a toaster, muffins and donut holes, and by the waffle makers they had both regular batter and strawberry flavored batter, as I recall."

Ramada by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

8/10 Good

"This hotel is great overall. My only concern was the cleanliness of the room. There appeared to be ketchup or blood stains on the bedding, the walls had residue on them, and the bath tub looked like it had mildew or was just filthy. The beds were extremely comfortable though, and staff was friendly."

Bridges Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"We were terribly disappointed to learn after we arrived that the outdoor pool was closed for repairs. Our main intention was to lounge by and in the outdoor pool. Although we had access to the indoor waterpark it was definitely for kids and young families, not for two senior citizens like us. The hotel did offer a 10% discount which we accepted. Also the hotel clerk didn't bother to tell us that there was parking available much closer to our room which we discovered on our own, and also didn't tell us there was an elevator available to the restaurants on the back side of the hotel. After climbing the very long set of stairs the first time, we discovered the elevator on our own (which was through two sets of doors after going out the backside of our hotel. Otherwise, we enjoyed the stay very much."
