Great for kids...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/12/07
My family came to Fort Madison just for a short weekend trip. (The town has got some points of interest and a nice way to spend a couple of days). The hotel was great:
- The room was big even for a suite and it had all the amenities we needed. Mattress on the sofa sleeper was lumpy, but that's expected.
- With three boys, a pool was key. A bonus was that the rec area had a 'kiddie' pool that was about a foot deep and removed from the regular pool. This provided a safer environment for the younger ones - and I haven't found a big chain hotel that had this before or after. (the only bad part was the material used around the pools was a little rough on bare feet)
- The hotel was clean, good breakfast and having a restaurant attached was a plus.
- Staff was great and accommodating.
- Side note: I was pregnant at the time and we met a little boy from Burlington named Zachary at the pool area: a great, polite kid. A few months later, we delivered another boy and named him Zachary largely after this child. A reminder of a great stay and a completely wonderful experience.
