The room was great, very comfortable. A very unique property, I'd absolutely stay again. The only downside was the bar and restaurant being closed. There are a lot of options for food and drinks in the area.
Staff was very nice and rooms were very clean. The bar was not open during our stay and the breakfast was underwhelming with just bananas, granola bars and yogurt. Besides that the stay was lovely
That 5th star would have come with the lounge and hot breakfast options as listed, but unfortunately neither were available, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast was a Continental at best, and the lounge/restaurant apparently has been closed for a while. Overall, quiet place, very spacious rooms, and very historical. Very affordable and worth the drive from Dubuque. We will stay again in the future!
The place was wonderful! I enjoyed my stay very much. Since it was a historic hotel, the bed was historic also. When I crawled in, it just brought back memories of staying at my grandma‘s house in an antique bed with slats. Loved this place!
We like the historic hotel vibe and its downtown location. An anchor like the Decker is vital for Main Street revitalization.
We wished that the bar had been open on a Thursday evening, but the manager said the owner is working on leasing that operation.
A lamp on both sides of the comfy bed would be most welcome.
The staff is friendly, the rooms clean. It is an older hotel, so don’t expect coffee makers in the room and outlets may be a little inconvenient. The atmosphere of the hotel is great for those that appreciate stepping back into history and seeing beautiful wood trim throughout the hotel.
Historic charm, great value — we'd stay again For Sure!
Stayed Saturday night for $82. Such a quaint, old-world stay. The Decker House (built 1876-78, Italianate, on the National Register, 17 rooms with the grand staircase from local woods) is gorgeous — original woodwork, metal cornices, right at the top of Main Street and 5 minutes to Maquoketa Caves.
Room was spotless and comfortable, staff was friendly, location and value are excellent.
Only reason I'm marking amenities 3/5 is breakfast is light continental with good coffee. Everything else about the stay was great — we just walked to Main for a bigger breakfast later.
We had an amazing time it was super easy to check in could have more of a breakfast but that is ok .
But the whole history of the place was neat you almost feel like your staying in the 1800’s definitely neat and will be back.
Pleasant stay. Nice hotel manager. Spacious room and comfortable beds. Small pedestal sink in bathroom, so kind of difficult to get do makeup and hair. Overall it’s a perfect place to stay in Maquoketa.
