10/10 Excellent

"The front desk was great. The room was very nice with a micro and a fridge. It was very clean. The pool and hot tub were both very clean as well. Parking was easy and about a mile from Iowa state university. The breakfast was buffet on the weekend and order from the menu on weekdays. We had the order from the meu and it was very good. Water, coffee and fruit available in the morning too. Would stay here again for sure. "

### GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast had choices -eggs, bacon, waffles, bagels, cereal. I wasn't disappointed. The dining room was clean and food choices stocked. The desk staff and breakfast staff was friendly, helpful. No issues with parking. A lot of law officers must stay here for training which creates a safer environment. The bed and pillows were comfortable. This was the first time that I was able to sleep in a hotel. Did not need housekeeping, so no review. Has a fridge, microwave, and tv. No other frills. Be nice if there was a way to provide more air circulation. That would be nice. I would definitely stay here again. "

"Great location at a great price. Everything was clean and comfortable. The only negative issue was noise from the rooms next door and upstairs from people being inconsiderate. Oh - the towel hooks in the bathroom in Room 213 are mounted upside-down. "
