Cool hotel, just be prepared of what to expect

I struggled writing this review for several reasons. First off, overall it was a fun and neat experience. But, on the other hand not what I was expecting at all. While I wanted to show what my experience was, I didn’t want to deter anyone from coming here. In the long run, I would probably come back here, but would know what I was getting myself into this time. First off, there was no bar, lounge or restaurant onsite as described. The breakfast consisted of one type of cereal, water and a banana. My initial reaction from the outside of the building was not good. The outside needs a lot of work and is in rough shape. Let me tell you, when I opened the front door I was taken back with the beauty inside. It was old world, rich and very exquisite. Check in was easy and friendly. But, we were on the 4th floor, which meant we had to use the elevator. Very small and old. The permit in the elevator that was posted said the last inspection was in March 2015, which I hope this is just an oversight and an updated inspection permit was just not posted. The room was pretty cool and the hallways felt like we were in a horror movie (the shining) which created a cool ambiance. There is no door on the bathroom. So privacy isn’t an option while on the toilet or showering. The bed was amazing and the space was cool, but underutilized, with just a few chairs and couch in a huge space. Rain knocked out the satellite, so no tv. Overall I would do it again, but have a better idea what to expect.

No f no way

Place was scary and no bar or restaurant the guy could tell my cousin and I anything about anything the door lock had gray duct tape on it and a man kept peeking out at us every time we walked in. So scary we packed up and left and when we left I put the keys on the desk and a man came out in pjs and bare feet. We were scared as soon as we got there. We are both in our forties so it takes a lot to freak us out. No way could I sleep there we got a queen as cousins thinking that’s fine no the room was tiny not what was shown with an old little bed We could have gotten through that as us gals grew up together so no biggie but the vibe was insanely scary. I wish we could get our money back but we were willing to pay the 116 and dive out because it was insanely scary. We dug deeper and they rent it out at 600 a month explains a lot F no to this do not go unless you want to be scared out of your mind It reminded us of American horror story hotel

It appeared the bar and grill was out of service. The hotel itself was like a museum going back in time. The room was clean with old school wooden furnishings. I enjoyed my stay but ate at the local diners on main street. Hotel reminded me of the movie "The Shining". I thought it was pretty cool seeing the vintage furnishings.

A Shadow of the past greatness

Had stayed at the decker 10 years ago when their bar and restaurant were operating and was excellent. Both are closed now and there is just not a lot else in maquoketa. Place was nearly empty except for us even though there were some events going on in the area. Still a unique and well preserved old hotel but could use a few room updates such as fridge . There also was no ice machine in the place. A minor annoyance but those add up. All in all it was acceptable but not great.

We loved our stay. From the outside the hotel looks run down and not operational but once inside it is gorgeous. The staff were so nice and shared the history of the building. Beautiful old hotel from 1870. Each room is decorated differently. The staircase defines grand. Bed was very comfortable and it was so quiet. We will be back for sure.

Better to visit than stay

Front of building needs work! The breakfast almost got a pass: only beverage choice was milk, granola bars (very dry), (overripe bananas), cereal, yogurt, breakfast mini sandwiches. My spouse had complaints about everything. The room we had had needed an air purifier or something similar. It smelled off- not musty or aged, more like old grease. Room and bedding were clean, but could have used vacuuming- dusty at edges of carpet. I tried to turn down the thermostat to 65°for sleeping, but only went to 68° as some kind of control on it. The bathroom was immaculate except for white spots on the wallpaper opposite the sink. There were few channels on TV, the internet would not connect in the room, went down to front desk and it worked there and no problems after that, the phone in the room didn't work at all-not even a dial ton, the people above us made a lot of noise in the am, but the worst for me was not getting the room black at night (the shade didn't go down all the way and there were street lights right outside our window.) The bed was almost comfortable (we only had queen, no king available). I told the staff my husband didn't walk well, so staff pointed out the elevator, but our room was the farthest from main entrance as it could be and our daughter who is not a senior had one in the middle. There was one minifridge in the room in the center of the hall. My husband complained no ice in there and no ice machine; you have to pick it up at front desk. The elevator worked.
