Search hotels in Keokuk, IA

Keokuk was larger than I thought. Really enjoyed visiting the lock and dam after watching the live camera online. If you want to bypass the stop lights and traffic on Main, there are two streets a couple blocks North East of Main, High street runs one-way to the Northwest and Circuit Street runs one-way to the South East.

The attendant woke me up in the middle of the night and demanded that he get access to the room to change the batteries in the door lock , I refused and he called the room phone of which I could hardly understand his poor English, further the sheets were dirty, only one towel and the carpet in the room was sticky generally the poorest experience that we have had in 40 years of travel and I would rate the equivalence of a hotel in a third world country.

Keokuk is a great small city to stay at...I was there for Geode Fest 2022, which the Department of Tourism hosts each year now. There is a good selection of lodging with hotels, motels, and camping facilities in and around Keokuk, and several great dining locations too. A few of the dining businesses were affected by food shortage problems during this year`s event, which seemed to bother some people. I dined 2 nights at Angellini`s Italian Restaurant on Main Street, the food there is great and the atmosphere and customer service are over the top in my humble opinion. It is extremely tough to go to dinner in the evening until about 8 pm much of the time, and reservations are a must for that, but don`t expect to be sat right away when you arrive at 8 pm, you will likely still have to wait at most places 30 to 45 minutes after you arrive. That is how busy the bigger places can and will be. The food is normally worth the wait tho.

Beautiful Historic City. Hope some residents maintain the beauty of their historic homes by fixing them to preserve and maintained their home. For the next generation to come, explore and enjoy! Thanks!
