Experience the cozy accommodations, friendly service, delicious breakfast and convenience of our hotel in Missouri Valley, Iowa. DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, created in 1958, is located along the banks of the Missouri River in the U.S. states of Iowa and Nebraska. The 8,362-acre refuge preserves an area that would have been otherwise lost to cultivation.
In 1960, an Army Corps of Engineers channelization project on the Missouri River moved the main river channel in the area to the west. The former river channel became DeSoto Lake, a seven-mile long oxbow lake. As a result, part of the Nebraska portion of the refuge lies on the east side of the Missouri River.

Looks like managed by local family. I think they allow others to occupy area also. Unfortunately the room had a terrible smell, small thin towels, a bug on toilet paper & atleast 2 worms alive on floor. Bed & pillows were clean but well used.
We did like that the hotel was pet friendly although the grounds were not kept or trimmed to find a proper place for dog to be walked, our dog needed a bath immediately after her walk dirty & burs on fur.
The room did have a hot shower, dorm refrigerator, microwave & the free breakfast of toast, fruit loops, gallon OJ & milk.

The customer service I received upon trying to cancel my hotel reservation was terrible. The manager was very rude while on the phone, interrupting me multiple times while I was trying to check if I did in fact have a reservation. I can understand not being able to refund a hotel room due to booking online. But the rude manner in which the information was expressed is not understandable at all, nor was it called for.

This review is for a stay at the Desoto Inn on August 11, 2021. Only slightly better than a night’s sleep in your broken down car. While traveling through the Missouri Valley area vehicle issues were encountered that required repair. With the Travel Lodge having no vacancy, the Desoto Inn was the alternative. The bed was not comfortable. In the evening, folks congregating around the facility were not speaking the nation's primarily language of English. Beverages or snacks were not available. No response at the front desk. Being a physically fit male, I was uncomfortable leaving the hotel room

The management charged my credit card without authorization for asking to cancel a reservation because of an emergency situation. Expedia cancelled my reservation with no problem; but when I called the hotel, they absolutely refused. The management was extremely rude on the phone and would not let me talk without interrupting. I would highly recommend not staying there for any reason even if it was the last place on earth. I have family and friends who have lived in this area all of their lives, and I will notify everyone of them not to recommend this hotel. Quality of services has failed miserably

We were on our way to Mount Rushmore and this was the place we decided to stop. The rooms were very clean, and nice. When we were trying to fall asleep it was very quiet. At the breakfast, there was cereal, oatmeal, muffins, apples, and toast. It wasn't tons of stuff, but it still felt like you ate breakfast. One of the main reasons we stopped here was because of the sign outside that said indoor pool, however when we got there the pool was closed. The location was okay, we were right by a highway. Around you there was a lot of businesses closed however if you drove 5-10 minutes there is a better

Very basic Motel smell very strongly musty odor very little continental breakfast toast some small pastries milk juice pool was closed permanently but still shows it on the sign. door to our first room would not shut and secure had to be moved to another room if you walk on the carpeting in the room and your White Sox they turn black carpets need cleaned desperately would not recommend this motel for any reason we were part of a wedding block and all the rooms were supposed to be the same price and other guests ended up being overcharged more than what we were charged unscrupulous practice
