The Trail Inn was cute and charming right in the center of amana. You could walk to all the shops and restaurants near by to the cutest German stores. The rooms were clean and well kept and staff was attentive if there were any questions.

Very pleasant setup close to the village center. Some updates/revisions to the facility are underway to improve the convenience and esthetics. Already unique decorating was a real step up from the run-of-the-mill stuff in larger chain hotels.

The room was clean and adequate. The bed was less comfortable than many we have slept on. Air conditioning was more than adequate and parking was very convenient. It was likely the best for the money in the area.
