Clean, quiet, laundry onsite for our long stay was an added bonus. Great beds and pillows and water pressure with soft water.

It has changed since I grow up in the area.
Estherville is a very nice town. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere, it was a clean little town. My hotel experience wasn’t that great but it definetly could have been worse.
Great people and beautiful scenery.
Went on business in the middle of winter. Nice town, nice people. Didn't go to be a tourist.
Had a wedding at the Little Swan Winery, very beautiful and rustic place for a wedding.
