Another great stay! John at the front desk remembered us from last time and was incredibly friendly and helpful (again!). Love the convenience of a shopping center across the street and yummy pizza restaurant/bar right next door (literally attached to the building and easy to access from the east stairs). Conveniently located near Iowa State so made family weekend an enjoyable and easy stay! Will definitely return again.

The pool area was flooded - there were no pool towels and the hot tub wasn’t hot - the pool was warmer. Checkout was slow and the person checking me out couldn’t say why.

The shower stall did not have enough lift on floor to keep water in shower and the curtain was too short. Water got all over the bathroom floor and the water pressure was so hi it hurt your skin. Cracked tiles on the floor and caulking peeling around shower nozzle and paint peeling around bathroom sink.

The pool is indoor and tiny. The hot tub is pretty run down and wasn't very hot. But over all it was a great place for the price.

Great location with proximity to Iowa State and several stores like Five Below, Rally House, and TJ Maxx right across the street. Scooters Coffee is right next to the hotel and there's a great bar/pizza place attached! (Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom). There was a little confusion when we first checked in...the front desk agent said we only had two nights reserved and not three, but the front desk guy the next night (Bill) confirmed we were good. Also, our room key didn't work at first, but we were given a new room. The new room didn't have soap, bed linens for the pullout couch, or a remote control (probably because it wasn't supposed to be occupied), but the front desk took care of us. Breakfast was good and overall hospitality was great. We will definitely be back!

Poorly managed! Toilet seat so loose that about ready to fall on the floor. Area by bedroom vent was lined with either dirt or mold. Curtains were not hung correctly. Outside bushes terrible!!! First room assigned had been used and the bed was not made. Hey...when no one cares...it will show.

This is an alright property, definitely needs some updating. The dishwasher said it was clean yet the dishes looked dirty and still had powder in the slot. We reran it, and the powder did not change. The pans looked very bad. I mainly booked this one so we could cook there but would not cook on those pans. When we came to check in - I stood there a bit and that saw a guy walk out on his phone and he looked at me. I than picked up the phone to dial '0' and than he turned around to come help me check in. Than when we left, we saw the Orcan man so I rechecked our beds just to make sure there was no bugs anywhere.
