This hotel is not a Hilton but the rooms are clean and staff is very friendly. You can go out the back door of the hotel and walk right to the beautiful Trout Run Trail that has been built. The area is very beautiful and we appreciate the care that the staff at The Bluffs Inn gave us. We will... More

The staff is helpful and very pleasant. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you feel like you are at home. There are improvements undergoing and I can hardly wait for my next trip to Decorah to see the finished projects.

I've stayed at the Bluffs Inn many times as early as the 1970's and most recently for Christmas at Luther, 2012. Yes, the hotel could use some work; but our experience with the staff has always been outstanding. They are accommodating, welcoming, and eager to ensure that our stay is as comfortable as possible. The showers are hot, the beds... More

The building was closed by the police for safety reasons and all the guests had to move to the... More

Turn back, worst place I've ever been to, it was like the Bate's hotel in the movie Psycho. Was the only place with a room during family weekend at Luther. Room was about 4 times the price it should have been. Couldn't unlock the door to the motel, were greeted by a housekeeper/maid who let us in who I'm pretty... More

We traveled to Decorah,IA with our older son and new wife to visit our son at Luther. We have stayed at many ranges of hotels in our years . The best part of this hotel was that the clerk was trying to be nice. She said the elevator was broken just that day ( Saturday ) but we found an... More

No words can describe this aging, throwback from Motels of yesteryear but I'll try. On the outside this hotel appears decrepit and creepy but it's nowhere near that nice inside. I will agree that the little lady at the desk is as sweet as can be but this place needs to be bulldozed. The rooms smell like mold, all the... More

My friends and I are Luther College grads and we decided to go back to Decorah to party it up for the weekend. The county fair was in Decorah this weekend so this was the only place that could accommodate us. Based on what I knew about the place from going to school in Decorah and other reviews I wasn't...
