Small town charm, upscale lodging
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/27/11
I have taken my family to the Royal Amsterdam for several years now and have always been very pleased with the earnestness of the staff to make our stay as pleasant as possible. It is located just off the square in Pella, where many shops and several quaint eateries are within easy walking distance. Or if you feel like hiding out, try The Monarchs restaurant in the hotel. It's notably more expensive than other options in town, but it's nice to have a more elegant choice right where you are staying. Alas, there is no pool for the kids, but the Pella Aquatics Center is within a seven blocks or so. Red Rock Lake is also within a 10 minute drive for more water fun. Within view of the hotel is the third largest operating windmill in the US. It's probably larger than you might imagine. We will be returning again this year to the Royal Amsterdam and are looking forward to our visit. You can't beat the hospitality of Iowans.
