It was situated outside the town in a quiet area along decent sized streets to access the college. I was supposed to be able to work from this hotel, but the internet service that was promised was spotty, undependable, and hard to access. You had to jump through hoops and watch their commercial for a crumby 10bps speed internet. Not really what was advertised.

Worthy of a stay!

Stayed for a local convention. It was conveniently located near the Central Iowa Expo. Room was fine for our needs but the comforter did have some stains on it. All in all, it served our needs well and we would go back if the opportunity arose.

For the price we thought it would be a decent stay

The hotel seemed ok when we arrived. The grounds seem safe and clean. When you walk in the lobby you smell a slightly off putting scent of mildew. We get checked in and that went well and the overnight lady was friendly. We got to our floor and the elevator opens and the carpet is stained and you smell a little more of that mildew scent. We walked in our room and dear god almighty that smell was strong. It was a musty moldy kitty litter smell. We cranked the air and must’ve started getting more used to the smell because I went to bed as it was late. My husband was unable to sleep all through the night and it set off his asthma by morning. He went down to the desk and complained about the smell. They said the manager would be in at 7 and gave him some spray to try in the room. And said they’ve had this issue before. He comes to the room and I’ve got ready for the day and packed our things all up in case we eventually were switched to a new room. We left for a few hours for a planned event and when we got back the new desk clerk assigned us a new room. That room smelled fine. We cross paths with her and she is heading to the previous room with baking soda. Hours later we get back and the new room REEKS. It’s coming from the AC. We shut it off and slept with the windows open. I would never stay there again. No towel bar in the bathroom so your towel has to sit on the floor for after your shower. Very glad to be home.

Check-in was quick and easy. The room had a funny smell (musty). The bed was ok but the pillows were not comfortable. The room and bathroom were spacious. The air conditioner was a little noisy. Breakfast had scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy, make-your-iwn waffles, and cereal. Not a terrible stay but not amazing
