Holiday Inn Express Keokuk

The pool was warm, clean, and had a deep end, which you don't see at many modern hotels. The room also had a Roku TV. Cleanliness in the rooms can be inconsistent, though: ours overlooked the pool and there were mold specks on the top of the windowsill. For the price, it's about what you'd expect.

The staff made our wedding night stay feel special. They were accommodating, really sweet, helpful, and hilarious. We felt spoiled and would absolutely come back.

We’re currently homeless, and this was the cheapest place in town. Everyone on staff was kind and friendly, and they allow pets for an extra nightly fee. The rooms are big, though the bathroom is tiny, which made things tricky for me as a disabled person.

The location worked perfectly for our trip to the Geode dig at Vickers, only about 10 minutes away. The room was dated and had lots of empty space but no table or chairs for eating. It was dirty enough that the bottoms of my feet got soiled walking around, though not filthy. The bed was very comfortable, and while a lot of light and heat came through the window, the A/C kept up. Breakfast was just fair, with few options, especially for low-carb: I had toast with peanut butter and orange juice, and my husband had a waffle and a packet of oatmeal. The price was good, but next time I think we'll pay a bit more for a better room.
