"The airport shuttle was not available as the key to the vehicle was lost. The bathroom to our room was not cleaned well as the previous guests soap was still in the shower, and there was hair on the floor. There was a lot of wear and tear on the overall property. "

"Excellent"

"Rooms were very dated and dorm-like, but clean. It was very convenient and close to the airport. Breakfast was complimentary and offered several selections; the staff was also very friendly."

"Beautiful hotel. Staff were super helpful and friendly Clean and room was perfect "

"I checked in as a solo female traveler visiting family in the area. Upon arrival, there was a large group of men gathered in the lobby. During check-in, the front desk staff announced my room number out loud while handing me my key. This is a basic safety practice most hotels follow, and failing to do so shows a lack of awareness or training when it comes to guest security—especially for those traveling alone. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only issue. The secondary interior lock (swing bar latch) was completely broken off, leaving no added security beyond the deadbolt. The room was also noticeably run down and poorly maintained. The shower had deteriorating, missing caulking, and the closet had an exposed opening where I could see directly into the plumbing and backside of the shower. To add to the frustration, I was disappointed with pool policy. My sister, brother-in-law and their children (ages 2, 9,11) stopped by to play in the pool for 1 hour before dinner. Neither my sister nor I swam, but I was charged $40 for the kids and BIL. They are a local family who have used the hotel’s community room for events and visited other visiting guests at this hotel, guests who never had to pay an additional charge for the pool. It feels like a blatant money grab rather than a reasonable or fair rule. Where does the $10 per person go? Not maintenance! Between safety concerns, poor maintenance, and questionable policies, this stay was disappointing. Would not recommend. "

"Breakfast is limited. Not many choices. The hotel needs an update. Ceiling had leakage stains. Shaver was left in the bathrooms. It was not clear if it was new or old. The bed was comfortable."

"Bed was super comfy!!! Nicely decorated would highly recommend staying here— close to airport. "

"Stayed here recently and had a decent overall experience. The hotel was clean, which is always a top priority for me, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth, and the common areas were generally well-kept. That said, the property is clearly showing its age. The rooms and facilities could really use some updates; things like worn furniture, dated decor, and minor maintenance issues (loose fixtures, weak water pressure, older appliances) stood out. Nothing was deal-breaking, but enough to notice and take away from the overall comfort. Breakfast was also pretty lackluster—limited options and not much in terms of quality, which was a bit disappointing and didn’t add much value to the stay. With some renovations and attention to repairs, this place could easily be a much stronger option. For now: decent location, clean and serviceable, but not quite up to modern expectations…while charging modern prices. "

"Stayed here during Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival. Great home base! Comfy and SO quiet!"
