Excellent

The hotel is pretty cool because it is historic and on the main street. The rooms are small but again, it is a historic hotel. Noise comes from the halls easily. Our bed was a double, not the queen we reserved and it was also very noisy. I know it sounds bad :) but even the tiniest movements in the bed were loud and would wake me up. Comfort and cleanliness were okay. Also, bring a blow dryer if you use one, they are not included.
Check in and out were extremely easy and quick.
Beautiful historic hotel with furnishings that fit the period. Clean and comfy

GOOD: room clean and well kept, good water pressure, quiet hotels, bed and linens good
BAD: the name of the place is Decker Hotel and Bar. but the bar and restaurant were closed. no note of this when i made the reservation. I wasn't able to get a clear answer as to if it was a temporary or permanent problem because the host who was there all weekend barely spoke english. He would answer but i really struggled to understand what he was saying.
Great history, nice clean rooms, friendly staff, breakfast could use a real boost, not sure if downstairs is still functional, but seems like great space
Quaint historic hotel. The Presidential Suite was spacious and unique. Upgrades to the jacuzzi tub and bathroom provided added comfort. Staff very attentive. Only drawback was lack of restaurant on site and very limited breakfast - but other restaurants in walking distance. Pleasant stay after visiting nearby Maquoketa Caves.
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!
The place is beautiful if you like history take time to read the front desk newspaper clippings. The beds are very soft and bouncy they do not have a lot of support but I still slept. The neighboring spot is a car lot which uses very bright lights all night long so make sure to keep your blinds closed tightly. The lounge and restaurant were closed.
We saw one staff member. He was very nice and attentive.

Very nice and peaceful place to stay! The only thing I didn't agree with was the breakfast. But everything else was what I was hoping for. I will be back. Everything was walking distance that I needed.

We love the Decker, but ….
The elevator was out of service. We had a room on the third floor. Which wasn’t bad overall. Just during load in and load out.
The bed was not very comfortable. I should have asked for a different room.
The lounge was closed. It was open last time we were there and were looking forward to it.
Overall we enjoy staying at the Decker. But they will need to make some improvements before we return.

We had to leave the property…not up to our expectations
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.
