Search hotels in Estherville, IA

Estherville is a small community college town without a lot to do or restaurants to eat at. There are just a few that are worthwhile, like Woody's Pizza. I can't imagine staying here for very long since there are not a lot of things to do. It is a quaint town with nice people, but that is the extent of needing to come here.

We only stayed 2 nights and technically didn't get to room until 1am on Tuesday morning. Left Wednesday morning but paid Monday night and Tuesday night. My oldest son found a used dirty pad in the ice machine. Which was disgusting 🤢 Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms was clean, pool was nice but cold, hot tub was extremely foamy and like Luke warm bath water. Bath tubs in rooms was tiny. So much so I couldn't barley wash myself, not much room in them at all. Breakfast.... It was ok, not best. It was like someone cut up sausage links into 3 or 4 smaller pieces/ bite sized. They didn't put many biscuits or gravy in the crockpots. Eggs n bacon or eggs bacon and sausage would have been a better option. Yogurts had a horrible after taste. Vending machines was ok except for the sandwich/ice cream vending machine it kept getting items stuck so you had to purchase more items if you wanted 1 item and front desk couldn't do anything about it. Beds was just ok. Pull out couch you could feel all the hard stuff under it, so that wasn't the greatest. Didn't like being on the 3rd floor . Was already worn out from a almost 10 hour drive to estherville Iowa. The elevator was scary. So we used the stairs for the most part. Up n down 3 flights of stairs was kinda rough. Work out room/gym was super small. Only fit 2 ppl 3 would be pushing it. However for the time and mostly sleeping it was ok for the money. Would have loved softer beds, not so lumpy pillows and bigger towels. We also had our kids swimming and there was a group of like 20 yrs. Who was vaping in hot tub. So was a little upset about that, because my youngest son is asthmatic. All in all could have been better, but I did love how they had a coffee bar right by front desk, they also had hot chocolate and teas which was very nice. Again ppl who I in counter their/ worked their was Super friendly.

Woody's ❤️ is an awesome place to eat. The town has lots of different choices of restaurants. Estherville has many different site seeing attractions and also only about 15 miles from Arnold's Park ❤️❤️
