4/10 Fair

The property is fine. The individual checking me was not interested in welcoming travelers. She didn't break a.smile once, she gave us a room as far away from the elevator as possible (we're in our 70's), she didn’t bother to tell us about breakfast, and directed us to park in the back of the hotel, when parking in the front (plenty of spaces) was actually closer to our room. An exhausting individual.

Close enough to walk to the football game. Fairly quiet for being full occupancy, nice staff, easy parking, spacious room.

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,

2/10 Poor

The pool and hot tube were gross and there was black mold on the ceiling. It smelled terrible in the pool room. The rooms were ok but very small.

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.
