No soap for the rooms??
Large executive room for a great price. Very much enjoyed the facilities and layout. However, for some reason, there was no soap for the sink or the shower. The front desk had no soap available. I thought this was a standard amenity.

The outside of this property looked good and the staff was a new employee who tried his best. However, the room was not clean. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and detergent to use to clean the dishes. I needed a spoon and went to the breakfast area to look for one but they only had a plastic knife. The chair in the living room had a nasty stain (either food or vomit) not even my dog wanted to go near it. The couch also had an oder. Only one TV worked (the one in the living room) the one in the bedroom did not work. Last there was dark colored mold on the bathroom floor near the tub/shower. I’m not sure if that was black mold or not but it did not look clean or healthy. I expected a Grand stay to be nice, but I was very disappointed. Don’t be fooled by some of the reviews. Ask to check the room out before you put money down to stay. We did talk to the staff on duty about our room and allowed is to look two other ones but those rooms were not any better.

Basic hotel. The bathroom had one lightbulb of 3. The cauking had pink fungus growing. The swimming pool is super small and had hardly any chlorine. The hot tub was full of sand.

Everything is great, except it's a little weird that there are different types of cable services on the two televisions. What is available on one, is not the same on the other.

They were very helpful in getting us checked in remotely when our travel plans changed to ensure we would still have a room when we got there on a busy game weekend.

This property gets the job done. I love the location and that it’s connected to Old Chicago. The coffee in the morning was undrinkable. Everything in the rooms is very old, but the beds felt clean. For the price and location I would stay again, but it’s definitely in need of a renovation.

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.
