I am from Texas, and visiting my friend in Waverly, Iowa> She had told me that the motels in this area are pretty expensive, but she had told me that the Star Motel on Hwy 3 just East of Waverly from downtown was an older motel, but clean and affordable. I arived and checked in to the Star Motel. Very nice rooms, with micro and refrig in each room and I felt very safe. There was a great authentic Mexican restaurant next door, too and that was delicious with a full bar. I recomend this motel when in this area.
