Hotel review

I had an issue with the shower. It work different than any shower I have seen. Also the breakfast I thought could have been better. The eggs where just egg whites, there was only 1/4 of the pans filled. Like 5 pcs of sausage, 1/4 container of egg whites and 1/4 a pan of sausage gravy. It all looked like it was there for a while. The food was not empty due to being ate it that's all that was put out.

The staff was very welcoming. The room, including the bathroom, was clean and well appointed. The bed/pillows were comfortable. Off the main road so it was quiet. We didn't eat the continental breakfast so can't review that. Close to restaurants and park.

Room was very clean and just fine, however breakfast had only one sausage link left, no potatoes or eggs, just waffles and pastries. They seem to be in the process of updating the property!

Clean and super friendly staff. When the front desk informed me of the breakfast hours at check in I said I would be leaving very early before breakfast. He said if I got hungry in the night to let him know and he would open the breakfast room so I could have a snack. I thought that was very kind.

Breakfast was good. Not a fan of the condiments like the butter being a shared tub that everyone stuck the knife into. If you don't know how the Waffle maker works and how much batter to put in. You will struggle with this. But overall a very nice place to stay.

Clean hotel and a nice location.

This was a nice hotel to stay at when we visited Winterset. The hotel was extremely clean. Spotless. Breakfast was nice and no problems during our stay. We were able to easily drive to see all of the Covered Bridges in the area from this hotel.

We found the Covered Bridge Inn to be perfect for our needs. The Owner was very accommodating. My husband is unable to carry/lift things so the Owner came out and helped me bring in our luggage. He was very pleasant, recommended places to eat and things to see. Great stay, would recommend.
