I stayed here because Iowa State had a football game and I didnt want to pay inflated hotel prices while I visited my son. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the hotel was convenient and quiet, the staff is nice. The hotel is in dire need of renovation but it is more cosmetic, but it is a lot to see.

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!
