Nice stay for nice price. To be honest, kind of odd not having an actual person being there on the property but once you get past that, it wasn’t a big deal. I’d stay there again. 🙏

The hotel was very well kepted up. Staff was very easy to work with to help me check in the self check in hotel. Very much pet and family friendly. I tried getting ice from the ice machine the ice machine was not working.

Nice, clean room, very convenient to Windmill and restaurants. Check in by code was simple. Some patching had been done on sink and tub but was well done. Only complaint from my husband was that the water pressure in the shower was too intense to where it was irritating. He suggests a bigger showerhead.

Yo this was a really convenient stay. Modern communication style: I would not recommend if you’re the person who needs a physical person for checking but as someone who doesn’t mind this went above and beyond. Snacks were a great add on. Location is nice and quiet and safe. And close to the interstate. Will stay here again.

Elk Horn is a very small Danish-based community. I spent the day enjoying the museum and eating kringle. Hygge Inn was perfect. This is a great little place to stop over for a quick visit as it's just off the highway.

Clean, comfy & quiet. The town has a working Windmill from Denmark. We came for the tour. Wasn't disappointed.

Please don’t let the exterior fool you. According to the owner this is a works “in progress” property. The interior has been updated and exterior will be next. The room we stayed in was very nice. The flooring was appreciated as compared to carpet. The beds were super comfortable and the snacks, TV and coffee maker were appreciated. Access to the property and room is all accomplished via texts which worked out well. The area is interesting with the Danish windmill and museum in same town. Best wishes to the owners with the continued work on this quaint property.

No staff on-site. Make sure you read your message on how to get access to your room. Directions posted on doors will not help you get access. Fairly easy, once you find their email message.

Check-in went very smooth. I really appreciated no carpet in our room. It was clean and prepared for us. The outside of the building could use a "facelift." The heater in our room was quite noisy. It kept the room at a comfortable temperature though. The bed was comfortable. Overall we are satisfied with our stay. Thank you.

Quiet and clean; If you wanted to use a microwave, it was in the entry way, not convenient. It was clean and quiet.

Nice place about 7-8 miles off the interstate good for a nights stay after driving all day. Room was clean and decorated nicely but there’s nobody on site and check-in is done virtually, which went smooth, once we figured out how to do it. 2 restaurants right down the street.

Bed was comfortable and the floors were clean in our room. There wasn’t a front desk for check in just instructions on how to find our room and a code for the lock on our room door was sent by email earlier in the day. The door from the outside of the building to the inside hallway was unlocked and when we left at 3 in the morning it was still unlocked. If my husband was not with me I would not have stayed. The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke, had missing ceiling tiles in the hallway, and holes in the dresser. If the management paid better attention to little details I would have left a better review. There are not many places to stay along that stretch of 80 in Iowa. We felt it was the best place among the choices.
