The Chief Motel is a great budget motel. Clearly a locally run motel, it was clean and safe. The woman at the front desk was helpful in answering questions and even provided a capful of laundry soap for a load of laundry. Some areas of the motel show signs of age and a few small areas in the room could use a little patching or paint. However, it was clean and smelled fresh. The room was cleaned and towels replenished daily. A laundry mat and car wash are directly next to the motel. There was a cafe across the street. Walmart and HyBee were within walking distance. For those visiting Nauvoo, it's 10 minutes to the Mississippi River bridge and then another 10 minutes to Nauvoo. This is a perfect option for travelers on a budget.

I checked reviews before booking and there were many saying it was clean. Wonder what their homes look like. My room was filthy. Something is growing on top of the fridge and the freezer was filthy. The furniture was not in good shape. The supplies for the kitchen area was minimal. No dish soap or paper towels. It was also noisy. Could hear the people above walking. It is on main st and the traffic was expected. The owners were great and nice people

Pretty good

Very clean for the price. Very nice, accommodating staff. No strange smells in the room or in the bed which is really nice, usually booking via 3rd party apps gets you the crappy rooms but all the appliances worked well, there were toiletries and clean linens in the bathroom. Not sure about breakfast or where it would have been since I missed it.

This motel is old and tired, rather like Keokuk. The room was a musty odor. The AC unit barely worked. The bathroom was dimly lit. The writing desk was oversized for the room. Nice to use, but too big for the space. All in all, adequate for me, but my wife would never stay there. I chose the Chief because it is within easy walking distance to the house that I grew up in.
