What guests think

Travellers describe DUTCH INN AND SUITES as a clean, budget-friendly stop with a convenient location near Northwestern College and town amenities, offering a basic continental breakfast that many find adequate but some view as limited with a cramped seating area.

Rooms are generally comfortable and simple, though the building feels older, with occasional reports of musty odors, creaky noise from upstairs, and inconsistent mattress comfort. Service is often friendly and accommodating, but some guests reported communication difficulties, locked lobby hours, receipt or refund frustrations, and inconsistent responsiveness. Expect a no-frills, good-value stay close to campus and downtown.

The front lobby area was locked at 10 PM requiring us to go to a door. We didn’t know the location to get into the building at very cold temperatures. In the morning, the sign said the lobby opens at 6 AM and we had an early departure. We wanted some breakfast before we left and we waited until 6:20 AM and still no one showed up and unlocked the lobby area and the breakfast area. Will not stay there again nor recommend it

Stayed here for a wedding and we arrived late. Check in process was easy and the staff was friendly. Not much parking and parking spots were small-not ideal for SUV’s or trucks.

We arrived around 10PM and the lobby was locked up like it was a Super 8 in a crime infested city. I had to talk to the desk clerk through a 1” space at the bottom of a window. Due to a family illness we had 1 of our daughters that had to unexpectedly stay in the room with us and they charged us $30 for her. Because the lobby was locked up, we had to go back outside and enter through one of the exterior doors.

Try your other options, as this was not a great stay. Just a very dirty facility that was pieced together. Bed was extremely stiff. There was a group of people loitering in the parking lot and near the side entrance that eyed us each time we walked in (multiple times between 9am-11pm) which was odd…Also seems like the owner/staff have the two parking spots closest to the entrance reserved for themselves, if that tells you anything about their priorities. Not impressed.

Cleanliness was great. Encounter with desk check in person & 2 cleaning associates created a good experience. They were cordial, smiled, respectful & made me feel like they appreciated us being there. The hotel is older & needs some minor updates but overall a decent hotel especially compared to other recent stays we have had at major chain hotels. They are in need of a larger breakfast area & more complete food options. Very limited selection & only a couple tables for guests to eat breakfast on. The best takeaway I can say is that the cleanliness of this hotel was better than a recent Royal Caribbean cruise we were on & the hotels we have stayed at over the past 5yrs or so. The hotel was full due to a festival in the town & the associates were friendly & approachable. Due to the age of the hotel there were minor bathroom updates needed but the fixtures were exceptionally clean. The beds were fine with pillow options. The carpet in our room was in good shape & clean. The hallway carpet appeared like quality carpet but perhaps older & needing an update. My cleanliness standards are extremely high & this hotel delivered.

Clean room, quality linens, easy to use TV service, better than expected breakfast options given the small town and odd time.of year. Everything was stocked well ànd it was convenient to everything we did. I especially liked that the beds each had 2 down type pillows that were flatter and two almost overstuffed pillows that were firm. . We could mix and match to find the right fit.

We were there for an interview at Northwestern College. When we entered the room I realized the window didn’t lock. I was offered a “stick” to secure it. It wasn’t even long enough to keep window from opening. If it weren’t on the first floor I probably would have overlooked it. One staff member offered us a refund since they didn’t have another room to offer us. I went to ask my daughter then returned to find another staff member working. He refused the refund because the city was safe and a broken lock was no big deal. When I explained another staff had offered a refund he became agitated and asked if I understood English. No way I would stay there after that. Terrible customer service.

Staff hard to understand. First time I called a hotel and they wouldn't work with you. I had booked off Expedia. We had some things come up. I called Expedia like I have in past and hotel wouldn't work with them. We ended up changing things around and going so we didn't have to eat the cost. The hotel room was musty and stink so bad! The sheets looked like they had been used. It was so gross. The complimentary breakfast was not very good. Plus the guy working the front was walking the hallways at 6am talking on his phone and woke us up. He still was out in hallway walking and talking on his phone when we left at 8. I have never wrote a review before.

I was expecting an actual breakfast with hot items, not continental breakfast. I was not the only guest at breakfast who was disappointed. I thought it odd that the front desk refused to provide a printed receipt for my stay stating that since I booked through a third party, I'd have to get my receipt that way. Both of these are customer service fails for me. On the flip side, the hotel was clean, fairly well maintained and quiet.

Had a quick weekend getaway with family. The room was comfortable and clean, and had a mini fridge (the kind with a separate mini freezer, which was perfect!) and microwave. The included breakfast is extremely basic and disappointing but works in a pinch, and the breakfast area is exceptionally small. Thankfully, there is a wonderful breakfast place (the Hatchery) across the street. It definitely feels like a "no frills" kind of place, but it seemed safe, and it was clean and quiet. I would stay again. I found it to be a good value.
