Nothing fancy just a good room right next to the casino. I stay there at least once a year when I'm taking my motorcycle ride on the Mississippi. it's got a small pool and there's restaurants within walking distance.

I like the fact I can bring my dog. Also like parking right out in front of my room. It is close to the Casino and right next to the Mississippi river. Todd (the owner) is personable and helpful. The rooms are really clean and the cleaning person is a very upbeat, very nice lady. I've stayed here many times... More

Ok to stay at if in a pinch. It has a good central location. Very loud with road traffic and THE TRAINS running day and night. The room smelled musty and @ $100.00 a night I should not need to go buy room freshener. The carpet also was stained and needs replaced. Bathroom was very clean. Will search earlier in... More

This older motel looked a little scary at first glance and I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get for the $90.00 I spent but I was very surprised. The room had a very 70's decor but was very clean, they had awesome hot water, and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever... More

After reading the recent reviews, we stayed here because of the smoking restrictions state-wide in Wisconsin. It is exactly as the previous reviewers stated - an older facility but extremely clean and comfortable. We hesitated because of the casino located down the street but it was very quiet while we were here. Our room was large (2 Queen beds, 2... More

This is an old motel (with actual keys), 2 stories with parking in front of the rooms. Our room was very large -- 2 queen beds, 2 chairs & a table and a large desk/dresser with fridge & micro. The sink/mirror was seperate from the bathroom, which is nice when there are 4 women staying together! The furniture, carpet, drapes... More

This motel might not look like the fanciest place from the street, but the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the walls actually keep sound out! This motel was built when people actually cared about privacy, quality, and sturdiness of the structure, and it is in decent shape, too. The owners are really nice and the rooms are... More

Hi, we love the low key of this motel, relaxed, layed back. We ride the Harley up every year to get apples and ride the awesome curvy county back roads...After the ride and a nice clean shower it is great to sit outside our room in a nice chair provided by the motel and have a cold drink not to...

This is an older motel, 2 story with parking in front of the lower level motel rooms. Our room was extremely clean. Coffee maker and flat-screen tv are in the room. There's a nice, clean outside swimming pool, with chairs to lounge in the sun. The motel is on the main highway through quaint Marquette and McGregor and across the... More

On a recent trip to eastern Iowa I made it a point to stop at the Frontier, partly based on the good reviews that I read at Tripadvisor. It was an excellent decision because everthing about the Frontier is positive. The room was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All at a very reasonable... More
