If they tell you they're fully booked, they're lying. Went to go extend with multiple outlets showing at least 9 available rooms - just for front desk and manager to insist that they were full but to "try to book and see if it will go through". They will tell you they are full so that they can maxamize profits on what little rooms they have left available. Slightly criminal in my opinion. Great hotel in terms of location and amenities though.

I loved the free breakfast in the mornings. It wasn't just pastries and coffee, but fresh pancakes, sausage, cereal, yogurt bar, etc. The staff was very friendly and allowed a late checkout at no additional charge. This was my second stay. I will definitely return again if I come back to Iowa.
