4/10 Fair

Don’t bother
Very dissatisfying short stay to visit Iowa state. Check in was not friendly, for some reason my room ticket or card wasn’t printed, which was odd, the WiFi connected but there was no internet at all, and no one at front desk to help the 800 number printed on the tiny piece of paper was a joke. Breakfast was cold, and had weird fried eggs, the worst the was US flag flying outside, all in tatters, very disrespectful. We won’t be staying again,

Decent stay for the price
The hotel is a little older but had comfortable rooms. They could put more towels in the room or at least the hand towels by the sink. Breakfast was not bad.

WOULD STAY AGAIN
Very nice staff at check-in and checkout. We had a suite, which allowed more space. But there was no room division for privacy if needed. The mattress need replacing, rolled to one side. There could be be more detailed cleaning. Really liked the airconditioner/heater with the temperature and fan control. We love having a constant fan blowing to provide noise control inside and out. It was anEXCELLENT buffet breakfast, with plenty of room for seating and the food/coffee was spread out in 3 room areas. The omelets and sausage were restaurant quality. Many food choices provided. Good location to the college campus, restaurants and freeways.
