Top Okoboji Hotel Reviews

Reston Inn & Suites

Reston Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"It was a good, clean, place for my quick overnight. That location was chosen because of a walkable-jaunt to the Walmart for snacks, and having at least 4 choice-restaurants nearby. There was also plenty of close, free, surface-parking available. The clerk at check-in was VERY FRIENDLY and accommodating; and, even though I had already requested my bed-size when I booked online, she still offered a variety of room-options (2nd floor was quieter—but there was no elevator—which I still accepted)! The room was well-lit, very clean, and modern. I MUST SAY THOUGH, THAT, WHILE THE CARPET LOOKED NEW, I ABSOLUTELY HATED THE DESIGN! THE PATTERN: BOLD, BLACK STRIPES, WITH “SLASHES” OF RUST-ON-BEIGE, ACTUALLY PRODUCED A DIZZYING OPTICAL-ILLUSION OF MOVING AS I WALKED ON IT—ESPECIALLY ON THE STEPS!! I felt VERY REASSURED when I did the routine check of the mattress for possible bedbugs: not only was there an all-inclusively-sealed cover on the mattress, but there were 3 (count them, 3!) VERY CLEAN bottom-sheets!! 👍 I DO NOT LOVE THOSE SMALLER, TOO-POUFFY BED-PILLOWS, THOUGH! (Maybe in the future I will just bring my OWN!) Breakfast ended at 9:00am! ON WEEKENDS, 10:00 would be better! I arrived at 9:15, and the ONLY staffer I saw was putting items away. She said absolutely nothing as I helped myself to coffee and a roll, though. Overall, I would give it 3-out-of-5 “stars”!"

Haywards Bay Estate and Guest House on West Lake

10/10 Excellent
"This property is in an ideal location with wonderful views and perfect lake access. Walking and biking paths are 2 minutes away. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed and the entire place, although dated, was immaculate. One thing to note is that the 2nd level has just one bathroom, that is only accessible by walking through the main bedroom. In addition there is no door to the main bedroom - it's completely open to the hallway and lower level. We had a foursome that wanted to play Mahjong late into the night - but couldn't because the noise disturbed the couple in the main bedroom. The property is architecturally unique with huge windows overlooking the lake, and a wonderful patio for meals and relaxing."
