Plenty of hot water in the shower, spacious bathroom and a large frig in the room. Breakfast consists of waffles and biscuits & gravy....not much but it is tasty. Lobby is nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Hotel is located close to Iowa State campus. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Robin Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tammy Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Will never stay here again. ##### Tammy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Amenities It is a very nice property for the cost of staying there. ##### Jeremy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Aug 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy to get to. Executive suite is comfy and roomy.

Blood stains on pull out sofa bed, told manager about it and they dismissed us. Shower tub didn’t drain so the water just sat there and didn’t drain for the next person. How we even paid $150.00 for a bloody, unhygienic run down room is a crime. Most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed ##### Shelly Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Amenities nice and clean ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Surprisingly, the bed was comfortable.

Other than the cleanliness it was a good stay. The one employee we saw was friendly but no one is ever at the desk. Pool was nice and warm but never any towels and hot tub down. ##### Rhonda Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nikki Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel The staff were very nice. The location was nice. While the hotel was clean, you could tell it was not new. The hot tub was down for maintenance and the pool was small. It was a nice stay for the price. ##### Nikki Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Salamanca-Hotels-Seneca-Allegany-Resort-Casino.h2238839.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Pocono Mountains, PA](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotrun-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Pocono-Mountains.h1371449.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Resort & Club, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-La-Quinta-Resort-Club.h10916.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Isle Casino Hotel - Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Waterloo-Hotels-Isle-Casino-Hotel-Waterloo.h1829121.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Mission-Hills-Golf-Resort-Spa.h4124.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information)
