On 6/23/2025 Denise Reece had this to say:
We were delighted with our stay! Very clean room and looked just like the photo on the website. We were warmly welcomed and the hostess was very accommodating. If we're ever in the area again we would stay, and have told our friends/family what an unexpectedly great spot it was! Thanks for making our Barn Tour visit to Cedar County exceptional :) Testimonial written by Denise Reece on this site.

We spent Saturday night here during the Iowa Barn Foundation Spring 2025 tour. It was the perfect central location in Tipton. The room was clean, beds comfortable, refrigerator was COLD which is not always the case with hotel fridges. Renee was super pleasant when we checked out. I really like patronizing local businesses. I would highly recommend the Motel Tipton!

Meet the Team
Meet the Owners ~ the Willard’s
On March 1, 2022 the motel was purchased by Shelley and Blake via their business TipInn, LLC are the 100% Owners. They hail from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. What brought them to Tipton? In the fall of 2021, they visited Blake’s Daughter and her new husband who reside in Tipton. Together, they found out about the vacant motel was for sale. One thing lead to another and an offer to purchase was submitted… knowing that massive amounts of work had to be done to update the motel to today’s standards. Extensive renovations were completed and Motel Tipton was transformed into a “place of comfort and pride”.
