Top Hotels Near Palisades-Kepler State Park in Mount Vernon from NZ$161

"Breakfast is limited. Not many choices. The hotel needs an update. Ceiling had leakage stains. Shaver was left in the bathrooms. It was not clear if it was new or old. The bed was comfortable."

"Bed was super comfy!!! Nicely decorated would highly recommend staying here— close to airport. "

"Stayed here recently and had a decent overall experience. The hotel was clean, which is always a top priority for me, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth, and the common areas were generally well-kept. That said, the property is clearly showing its age. The rooms and facilities could really use some updates; things like worn furniture, dated decor, and minor maintenance issues (loose fixtures, weak water pressure, older appliances) stood out. Nothing was deal-breaking, but enough to notice and take away from the overall comfort. Breakfast was also pretty lackluster—limited options and not much in terms of quality, which was a bit disappointing and didn’t add much value to the stay. With some renovations and attention to repairs, this place could easily be a much stronger option. For now: decent location, clean and serviceable, but not quite up to modern expectations…while charging modern prices. "

"Go anywhere else! Many better options! My partner and I road our bicycles 35 miles to come to Cedar Rapids and see a favorite band. When we tried to take our bikes to our room, the clerk yelled at us and said that we had to leave. Then, he charged me for the room. He would not work with us to provide any other place to secure the bikes and told us to go. Very rude and hostile towards bicycles and cyclists alike! Oh, and this place is a dump! Old and gross! "

"I booked a room at this hotel after looking over pictures and recent reviews. The pictures are not recent, as the rooms are warn and unkept. I was highly disappointed in the overall cleanliness of the room. The bathroom shower had mildew/mold along the sides of the bathtub and by the drain, the inside of the toilet was dirty, and the corners of the counters had mold/mildew as well. The floors were dirty, the room was dusty, and the comforters on the beds were stained and soiled. The room also had a musty smell. If it wasn't for arriving so late and a drunken man in the entrance of the lobby, I would have gone back down to address my concerns. We made sure all of our belongings were off the floor and we removed the bedding and used our own blankets from home that we luckily travel with. I also checked for bedbugs and the mattresses appeared to be clean."

"Great"

"Stayed here during Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. Great home base! Comfy and SO quiet!"

"Third visit to this hotel. This trip was 3 nights. No issues. Staff was awesome. Beds comfortable. Breakfast good. Will definitely stay there on our return trip to Mt. Vernon. Thanks for a great stay."

"Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was well stocked and had a good selection, including hot items. Best part was the front desk staff! They were very friendly, very helpful, and aimed to please. They were even training a new employee and she was great as well!"
