Very beautiful historic hotel. Our rooms were nicely updated. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. We enjoyed our stay. Employees were very helpful during check in/out. We didnt eat at the restaurant downstairs. Would definitely reommend

Great place. Small, cozy, great waitress and the wait for our food wasn't to long however we were the only people in there eating at 700pm.
Kid-friendliness: Have a wide variety on the kids menu and their menus are simple and fun for kids to choose from

A 2 night getaway for my birthday. I was able to upgrade our room reserved thru Travelocity by calling the hotel. The new room was an executive king - very nice and we were very pleasantly surprised. It was supposedly the front desks 'favorite' room. I highly doubt that as I think it was one of the smaller king rooms (212) as we passed a few others being cleaned that were larger and nicer- still very happy with it nonetheless. There was a slight sewage odor coming from somewhere, however, which took some enjoyment away. We went to settle in for the evening and the air conditioner breaker blew so we had to switch rooms. We were placed in what seemed to be the worst room of the hotel. It was a single queen suite (201). We did get a discount for the downgrade and trouble BUT it was NOT enough. This room had an even worse sewage smell from the bathroom (which was not as nice as the kings bathroom). I think the hotel is aware of a 'smell' as both rooms had plug in air fresheners that were not doing a good job of masking the odor! The carpet was stained and the view out of every window was of scaffolding or roofs or boarded up windows - not attractive at all. The smell was so bad that we spent all evening in the bedroom with the bathroom door shut. There were bugs in the bathroom. The tv in bedroom was tiny. The bed and pillows were hard. The walls were so thin that we could hear the room next doors occupants talking and snoring. Oh, and the robes that the website says you get...there were none in either room! The next morning I told the front desk that we could not stay another night in that room and instead of trying to make it right by moving us, our money was refunded for the second night. BTW, the continental breakfast is a joke. It is a tiny stand with granola bars, milk, juice, packages of donuts and other ridiculous items. The restaurant is ok. The waitress was not informative or helpful and was annoying. We ordered an appetizer and within 5 minutes of getting it, our meal arrived. Who does that? We should have time to finish the appetizer! The fries were soggy and seasoning was non existent. We wanted/hoped to take our sons here on a vacation but we really do not want to give our business back to this hotel!! Oh and the downtown square that Centerville says is amazing...NOT! Half the stores are closed and the remaining ones are mystic or gypsy or hand me down stores - don't waste your time!!

We were the only patrons at 6pm on a saturday. It took over 25 minutes for our food to come out. The fries were cooked in a toaster oven not fried. Food was mediocre at best. Won't be back for sure.

Went on a Saturday for lunch. The were backed up in the kitchen and ran out of just about everything by the time they got around to making our meal. There were two other parties in the place besides us and we waited an hour for burgers that weren't all that great.

Nice and quiet place with a simple menu. Staff was quick and nice.
I liked almost everything there is about the Continental Hotel. The entire staff was very friendly. We were checked us in quickly and professionally. Our room was spotless and much larger than we expected. The bathroom was also spotless. My wife loved the plush robe. Having a sitting room separate from the bedroom is a very nice feature. I answered "mid range" to the question, "How expensive is this hotel?" If there as a selection between "mid range" and "Luxury" that would have been my choice.

Nice rooms, friendly staff and charming small town setting make this a little gem on the Iowa/Missouri border. It is a much better alternative to a chain hotel and your money is going to support small down revitalization. We have stayed here several time and each stay has been enjoyable. The restaurant is a little hit or miss as we have had both good and bad meals here, but there are alternates within a block of the hotel.
