HotelTonight – Clear Lake, IA Hotels are Available

The drive between Minneapolis and Des Moines on Interstate 35 is one that many people would think of as boring. That's because there isn't much in terms of population centers between these two large cities. There is a lot of corn, miles upon miles of rolling farmland hills, barns, silos, and for me at least, a wonderful level of peace. I don't have to worry about making a wrong turn anywhere when I make that drive. I don't have to worry about being stuck in traffic. I don't have to worry about pollution or any of the other problems that can arise in larger cities. I just sit back, relax and enjoy the time I get to myself. On my last drive, I did realize that as often as I had made that trip, I had never really given the communities between these two cities much thought, other than to stop for gas or some fast food along the highway. That all changed suddenly when I got a call that my meetings in Des Moines were canceled. I decided to spend the next 24 hours in Clear Lake, which was near where I was at the time. I'd book a Clear Lake, IA hotel room with HotelTonight when it was time.

The Lake

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise to find out that Clear Lake is named after the lake that sits next to town. Nearly 8,000 people call Clear Lake home, and it seemed as though most of them were out on the water that day, as it was beautiful, warm and sunny. The lake itself is huge, it's full of fish based on the number of fishing boats I saw, it has a nice shoreline for those who want to have fun next to the water, and it seemed to be a gathering place for the locals.

The Plane Crash

I knew when I pulled into town that there was some reason that Clear Lake, Iowa was stuck in my head, but at the time I couldn't figure out why. As soon as I saw the first sign, I remembered that this was the town near where Buddy Holly's plane crashed in February of 1959. Holly was killed along with the Big Bopper and Richie Valens. There is a very tasteful memorial at the crash site, complete with a couple of small statues and a place to leave flowers. It was an eerily peaceful place that still attracted a lot of visitors.

The Dining

I had heard someone earlier in the day talking about a place that served really good prime rib, and that sounded perfect to me. The outside of the building is anything but beautiful, as it's a white, narrow building that looks more like a trailer than anything else. Inside, though, is where the magic happens. The meat was nice and pink and juicy, and the au jus they served with it brought the whole thing together. I ate way more than I should have, but it was just that delicious.
