The best time to visit Centerville, Iowa, hands-down, is Pancake Day. Thousands of visitors descend on our small city each year in search of free pancakes, good friends, and fun. There is no better place to watch Pancake Day in all its glory than from The Continental Hotel. Enjoying drinks with family on the front porch while the Pancake Day parade marches by. Or, avoid the elements and watch the festivities from one of our square-view hotel rooms. However, you'll need to get in line!

And the reservation list for our restaurant porch and lobby is just as coveted.
