Nice place to stay, very quiet, and excellent part of town right by Iowa State. The only downside is it’s a really big place, so you may have to walk far to get from your room to breakfast or the pool. It could use another elevator in the farther hall. But the pool and hot tub were nice, breakfast was okay, and I would stay here again.

Their continental breakfast is good. Rooms were clean. The only thing that i didnt like about the hotel was the television. Not very many selections and the channels came in like they were from the seventies. Not clear at all. Also no guide so no way to tell what the channels were until you clicked through them.

Our room had no bedsheets, the pillows have stains. The sink was plugged up. There was like burn mark on the mattress cover, like someone had smoked in it. The upstairs room was loud, and you can hear both rooms next doors. You can hear every door slammed. I am not impressed.
