Extremely expensive for state of the property. Wifi was very confusing to set up. Breakfast was pre-packaged muffins.

Super clean and quiet. In the middle of remodeling, so some clutter is OK, but an old toilet near an entrance is a bit off-putting.

This is a small independently run motel, With the folks who run it living there. Nothing unique or fancy. They had the AC turned off in the common areas on a humid day. Had to wait for the kids to go fetch dad to finish the check in process. The room itself was very basic with visibly tired furniture. The TV at first did not work but the Dad was able to fix it. They were obviously remodeling the downstair units as the hallway was packed with furniture etc. The price reflects what your going to experience.

We walked into our room which smelled musty. We requested another room. The owner was rude to us. Stating tbat we could leave and he would refund us. He stated that the room was not musty. The windows do not open. The beds felt damp. The owner said that he could come into the room to feel the beds. We checked in late and were too tired to go elsewhere. So we stayed. The bathroom had dust in the light fixture that was clumping. And the fan was loud. The TV turned on but there was no volume. There was something stuck in the USB ports on the alarm clock. It was black and tar like. It ruined two of my charger cords before I realized that it was there. I would maybe recommend this place to a person who cannot smell or taste. Or perhaps my worst enemy. It was gross. We will certainly not be back.

The Covered Bridge Inn is a modest property that could use a few upgrades like more electrical outlets for chargers. Otherwise the staff was very friendly and solicitous of me. The hallways and public areas are very clean as are the rooms. The towels are thick and bright white. I was in Winterset for a music festival, and it was nice to come back to a quiet place!

Awful
When checking in desk clerk couldnt get our cards to work. Tried 3 different ones. Finally next morning looked at bank account and it had went through bank. Couldn't talk to any of the workers there as we couldn't understand them or they were on the phone. Terrible service. The room smelled horrible. There was rotten ceiling tiles in the bathroom. Breakfast was an open container of cereal sitting out on the counter. People in town said they had heard bad things since these people took over. Never will stay here again.
