There was plenty of beds to accommodate our group as we were enroute to a wedding. There was plenty to do including many books and puzzles. Having a full kitchen was helpful to prepare the breakfast.

It’s a rustic nostalgia little old house like grandma my head. Where everybody wanted to go to see grandma. Basic amenities but cozy and a warm feeling. Flora the owner is so kind and hospitable. I enjoy staying here it is close to my grandkids and gives me the space like home! My grandkids love visiting me at the house.

The Little River Motel was a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the ambience of the Mom and Pop family business. My sister and I enjoyed the quiet and courtesy. They were respectful of our wishes. No hoopla.

Super nice and helpful owner operators typical of rural Iowa. If the shower is crucial to you my particular room had a pretty mediocre one, otherwise this place has a much more personal touch and friendliness compared to the more chain hotel options available. They also offer free snacks.
