8/10

It was a bit difficult to understand the host, as he had a mid Eastern accent, which we are not used to. He was able to communicate what we needed to know, and was very helpful with parking while on our trip. He drove us to the airport and gave us the hotels number to call when we return. There were water spots on the mirror in the room, and the bed frame squeeked loudly every time I shifted my weight in bed.

It was an ice storm y’all need to grow up and salt the parking lot I watched ppl fall and my mom almost fell and she disabled
2-night trip

6/10

The room was quite cold despite the thermostat being set at 84 degrees. We didn’t complain as we arrived quite late and went to Ed under a comforter. Later learned that if we had complained we would have gotten portable heaters or a move to another room. We thought it would warm up, but didn’t get warmer than 55-60 degrees. Fine outside of that. A bitter cold night. Zero degrees.

Pictures appeared nicer than the hotel. Served it's purpose. The guy at the desk was very helpful and courteous. Not any sort of a luxury stay. Place to lay your head in a clean room close to DSM airport.
