Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were comfortable and newly renovated, but cleanliness was an issue with stains on the bed and a musty smell. The service varied from pushy staff to very friendly and welcoming interactions. The location was convenient for the event we attended but lacked dining options. The dining experience was average, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms, which were nicer than expected for the price. The staff was very friendly and helpful, although some improvements in customer service could be made. The hotel is conveniently located near Iowa State University, offering easy access to dining options. The breakfast was varied and good, but the dining area could use some attention. Overall, a decent stay with value for money.
Upon arrival in the evening, the hotel was not as clean as expected. The room had pubic hairs all over the floor and shower, which was quite off-putting. Despite requesting a new room, the bedsheets had not been changed, and there were roaches in the bathroom. However, the staff were friendly and the existing rooms, though lacking sound-proofing, were relatively clean.
