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.

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.

LOOK AT A DIFFERENT HOTEL!!!

We booked for a suite and was given no pots or pans, rusted silverware and knives. Small pools and the hot tub had sand in the bottom. The beds are very uncomfortable and has stains all over it. TVs didn’t work, phone never worked. Staff were really rude. Highly disappointed with this place.

Great service but bugs that bite!

The staff was great and breakfast was good as well. During our stay I had gotten several bug bites during our stay. An issue i didnt stress due to my children not having any bites. The day we checked out, I had spoken to a friend and show them the bites and the pictures of the bug and was informed that it looked like bed bugs! When I called the hotel, the woman on the phone was very understanding and helpful. She provided an email address for the manager who, unfortunately, never responded to my email
