The room was clean enough and the staff is very friendly, the only thing I think, they should sell both water bottles and laundry detergent on the premises for convenience, overall I’m having a great stay, I would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Iowa .

I was very happy with my room. Comfortable bed, soft sheets and pillows. I had a great sleep 😴. My only complaint is the air freshener that is pumped through the lobby and hallways is very toxic and offensive, please tone it down or get rid of it for everyone’s safety.
