Cobblestone Inn and Suites

This was the best hotel we stayed in on our road trip and that makes us smile because people back home might not believe we’d give that review to a place in Avoca, Iowa. But the place (and room) was big and clean and looked so nice, and the hotel had these welcome amenities that other hotel chains should catch on to, like vending machines near the front desk that dispensed not just snacks but frozen microwave meals. As the front desk clerk said, «You’re kind of in the middle of nowhere out here.» It made sense that we didn’t have to leave the hotel to get something to eat, and we could make use of the microwave in the room. There were even toiletries that could be purchased which made my husband very happy because he’d run out of some stuff.
My preschooler got impatient while we ate our free breakfast so I walked around with her, and all the staff members we encountered were patient and friendly. Thank you staff of Cobblestone Inn for this family’s good stay.

Very clean hotel, reserving it was a pain in the ass though. I called in the middle of the week at 10:30 am and no one answered the phone. After several minutes of holding and callbacks I finally called the toll free number and ask them to connect me. You’re thinking why didn’t I try another hotel right? The problem is it’s like 1 out of 3 in Avoca and it was blocked off for a wedding that we were attending. The breakfast was minimal but not terrible, only the gravy, eggs, and sausage was kept hot. They also have a small store front that you can buy drinks, candy, frozen pizza, and more. It’s convenient for late nights.
If you’re looking for a clean hotel that is fairly new this would be your choice in this small town.

Stayed here because it was the most modern and convenient of available options. It’s right off the 80, so there’s activity outside at all hours. That being said, we slept well. The rooms are clean, modern, and no-​frills. We did not have any issues, and the continental breakfast, while standard in nature, was nice and filling prior to a day-​trip to Colorado. The diner nearby, «American Pie,» is just what one would expect from an all-​night diner at this location, but nothing unsavory. We got some pie there and brought it back to our room. Overall, a satisfactory stay.
Tip: If you tell them you didn’t use the safe, they’ll remove the «safe fee.»
