Southfork Motel and Grill | Hotel in Bloomfield, Iowa

“Quiet and convenient, older, restaurant not open on Sunday.”

“Pros: the AC worked great and the location was convenient to our event. The bed was somewhat comfortable. Larger more apartment sized refrigerator. Cons: shower head is only 5'7" up the wall which is inconvenient for a taller guest. No coffee maker in the room, which is a standard amenity in hotels. We hardly seen employees and our check in was less than personable. The security features on the door were broken off the inside of the door. You have to wall down the hall to get a 4 oz cup of coffee from a machine. No lid for the cup. The free breakfast was hardly any breakfast at all. The restaurant is just a diner that is strongly outdated, the service was ok,but we were constantly bothered by flies that would not give up. To be honest, the upkeep is also subpar. This is hardly worth $100 a night when you can go down the road and get a more modern hotel with far more amenities, including coffee machine in the rooms. We seen a large amount of dead flies in the hallway to the diner. If your event goes pasr 11pm, you will have to wait for an employee to let you in. We enjoyed our event, but not our stay. ”

“Stayed there because of the bar and restaurant.....both were closed”

“Was ok”

“Only saw 1 person 1 time at desk. 1 evening we saw 2 woman in the hall but not sure if they worked there or not. Breakfast was cereal in gumball machines but no spoons. And no sugar for coffee. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and water was hot for a good shower. Price was ok.”

“Very clean and well kept”

“A very reasonable price, huge rooms and attached to the restaurant! Very satisfied!!!”

“Yes very comfortable. Breakfast was little short on food ”

“We were a bit skeptical pulling in, as the hotel’s exterior has a dated, 1980s budget-motel vibe. The driveway is shared with a semi-truck parking area and is quite rough with several large potholes, so take it slow! However, once we were inside, the experience shifted for the better. While they seem to operate with a skeleton crew, the service was excellent. No one was at the desk when we arrived, but a note instructed us to call a number; the gentleman arrived immediately, was extremely kind, and made check-in a breeze. The rooms (we booked two) were surprisingly modern and very clean. They featured Fire TVs, which made it easy to log into our own streaming apps. Most importantly, the beds were comfortable, and the hotel was very quiet. We also visited the connected Bar & Grill for a nightcap. They are currently waiting on their liquor license, so they couldn't serve alcohol yet, but the space was clean and inviting. We didn't eat there this time due to family plans, but the prices are very reasonable for the area and we’d definitely try the food next time. The Bottom Line: If you can overlook the driveway and the 80s exterior, this is a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay.”

“This motel and grill has sadly gone down the drain compared to what it once was. Having one outlet to plug anything into without using the bathroom is equivalent to 1990’s norm. The staff were nice, but the property is going downhill. Mattress, sheets, and comforter were a joke. Had dogs running down the hall on a leash with an odd owner talking to herself. Another guest was barefoot, shirtless, and in blue jeans yelling from the desk down the hall. The icing on the cake was that grill is not good! No fries with burgers (must add on), soup and fried potatoes were gross. GreatValue at Walmart ingredients all the way through AND did NOT have a liquor license or alcoholic beverages for a BAR. Yet, a dude walked in, and the owner offered him a bottle of beer from a secret stash of beer from behind the cash register. The poor waitress, some HS girl, had 1 table. The locals despise this place on a Saturday night where it used to be standing room only a few short years ago. AVOID! Go somewhere else until they revive this place!!”
