We went to that area to see the tulip festival in Pella. While the flowers were amazing, our stay in Oskaloosa was not.
The motel's management was very responsive, the rooms inside looked okay. Outside the rooms (hallways) were not clean, and the ice station looked scary.
We arrived late on a weeknight, so just crashed the first night. The second night, when getting ready to sleep, I noticed something moving on my bed...turned out to be bedbugs. Jumped out of bed, let Hotels.com know, packed, made sure we had no stowaways, and left. It was 11 p.m. The management was cooperative and helpful and even refunded one night, but the incident left a scar on us and we will always double check from now on.
