I will definitely never stay here again. We booked this hotel room because it was advertised to be a hotel and bar, turns out that the bar is not open. This would’ve been nice to know ahead of time. We would have booked a room in a different place if we would’ve known that the bar was not an option. Also, there is very limited parking that we were not notified about. You can’t park on the street at night, there is side parking off of the building, but all the spots were full. We were forced to park in a sketchy parking lot with sign saying that we were probably going to be towed or we could’ve parked three blocks away in a residential area. To top it all off we found a cockroach in our room. And now the hotel will not respond to phone calls or emails regarding a refund. We left a whole day early due to a cockroach in our room. When we went to go talk to somebody at the front desk, there was nobody there. We ended up leaving a full day early and going to the laundromat and spending $50 to wash all of our laundry. Oh, and we were never provided a Wi-Fi password.

Pro: Quaint historic building. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Delightful room. A cool place that I would visit again. Con: Internet connection had no internet and the breakfast was very limited with no drinks but a keurig in the lobby.

It was neat to stay in a historic property. In a Quality Inn or Comfort Inn style hotel, the thick carpeting would have been suspicious regarding cleanliness, but it was nice here. I would have liked to see formal photos and a description display about this property, like in a museum.

There were all kinds of nail holes in the walls that was just painted over and the paint was done so sloppily that it was all over the trim board. The bathroom floor was coming up and has mold, wallpaper missing. It could be a very nostalgic hotel, but my room was unacceptable. I should’ve left.

Wry cool old hotel. I was there for business but located in an interesting downtown with unique stores. The mattress might very well be as old as the hotel. Time for a Serta fluff top.

We stayed at Decker Hotel and Bar in Maquoketa for 3 nights with our toddler and infant, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the owners made us feel completely at home – they were incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely sweet. The hotel itself is charming and full of character, with each room being unique. We stayed in the one-bedroom king room with a hot tub and absolutely loved it – the jets were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The bedding was the comfiest we’ve ever slept on, making each night a dream. The decor is quirky and old-world, and the heritage property is beautifully maintained. The high ceilings and spacious rooms added to the feeling of comfort and elegance. We highly recommend Decker Hotel and Bar to anyone visiting Maquoketa – it’s a warm, welcoming, and memorable place to stay.

Great Stay for historic building

The room was as I expected for a turn of the century building. Very quant room was smaller than newer hotels but that was just perfect for me. The bathroom is in suite but lack counter or storage due to the size. The bath/shower is full sized. Room did have its own ac /heat controls. They requested that I let them know when I wanted them in to clean since I was for 6 days. When I asked they did. This place is great for solo travelers as well as couples. Families should be fine in the bigger suites. It’s a great stay.

Located in a small quaint town. The outward appearance was okay, the lobby was fairly nice with old character & charm, the front desk manager was pleasant & courteous, the stairway and hallway leading to our room was characteristic of a stately old hotel, and then we opened the door to our room. It reminded me of a “flop house” room in a “seedy” hotel. Poorly patched holes in the wall, paint all over the once elaborate trim, mismatched posters pinned up on the walls, sparse mismatched furniture, burned out lightbulbs and a bathroom that also needed a lot of TLC. We booked our room for two nights based on favorable reviews, rates, location, and pictures. But, after seeing the condition of our room, I informed the manager we would be cancelling our second night’s stay. He did apologize several times and I informed him it wasn’t his fault. Our room was not at all as pictured or advertised on Expedia. Bait & switch by owner?? Cancellation for second night through Expedia was simple. Breakfast was a very basic continental version of grab & go. We did feel that our bed was comfortable. The restaurant/lounge is not operational either. This old hotel definitely has a lot of potential if the owner is willing to invest some money into it. But what we experienced that isn’t so right now, sadly.

Unique 150y/o hotel. Had a feeling of stepping back in time, walking through the doors. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Room was a bit small, but manageable. Bathroom was clean, though the sink sprayed everywhere when used. Bath towels were cleaned, but had some big holes in some of them. Beds were noisy and not very comfortable, but they served their purpose.we appreciated the free breakfast, though it was lacking as it was only apples, bananas, granola bars, yogurt, milk, cereal, and a microwaveable sausage and biscuit. Still not sure where the bar/restaurant was at, as the signs for its location were not very clear and you could not walk through the hotel, you had to go out of the hotel to find it. Overall, the Decker served its purpose and made for a unique place to stay.
