The Abbey Hotel, Bettendorf

This is no longer operating as a hotel. They closed in 2008 and opened as a Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center. The Abbey was a beautiful Hotel and the accomadations were wonderful, sorry to see it go but now they help the community in another way.

The Abbey is gorgeous, the grounds are amazing, beautiful swimming pool. The lobby is nice, as well as the chapel and banquet room, but my room was not nice. I think this place may also be haunted, it just has a very spooky feeling to it. THey advertised hot continental breakfast but only offered bagels and rolls? Also they say they have room service but do not. I felt like I was the only one staying there, I don't think I ever ran into any other guests...kind of strange.

The outside of the Abbey is stunning, but the inside is creepy....I wanted to change hotels as soon as we arrived. The website does a great job of selling it, that's for sure. There is no room service, they charge for local phone calls (including taxing those calls) The carpets and draperies are a poor attempt at old world charm, it feels more like a garage sale or Goodwill store. Our room was cold and depressing. The carpet and furniture were soiled, there were holes in the walls that needed repair and paint. The old woman who works at the front desk admitted to overcharging me due to a local golf tourney when I was told the room was 30.00 less. She was argumentative and rude, her comment was "we can't please everyone". I will never stay here again, and would never reccomend someones staying here.

The place is very nice. The rooms are huge, the staff is great. Since we live in Florida and have a pool, not having a heated one was a disappointment. The little food bar serving snacks and stuff was just perfect also. One thing that lacked was wi-fi. Also, there is no elevator except the converted dumb waiter. Or at least I think that's what it's called.

i was there with a friend a couple of months ago and we found it very relaxing and comfortable. the continental breakfast was enough to get our day started. it was a nice atmosphere. i never saw the pool, I'll have to check it ouy this time.
