Do not recommend

Definitely a budget hotel. Terrible ventilation. My room smelled like pot whenever I would enter. If you book here, they ask for a deposit when you check in. Be sure to get it back when you leave. One positive, they do have cameras in the parking areas.

It’s an older property that has been updated. The rooms are nice and big for large families. I waited for 10 minutes at the desk to ask for another key and several people passed through and said someone would be there soon to help me but no one came. I gave up. Breakfast is skimpy. No tea to cold water. Parking lot is a party zone all night long. Very noisy part of town. The people working there are trying but I wouldn’t go there again.

State Pool Tournament

We stayed from Wed to Sun for State Pool Tournament and it was awful from the start. Carts had flat tires, only 1 elevator, breakfast was a joke, gave me different room then i booked, bedding for hideabed was wet. Couldnt get towels. Half lights in room did not work. Drains plugged. Half people we talked to had NO hot water in room. Staff was friendly but no attempts made to fix problems. Booking elsewhere next year as im sure many others will be also.

I will start with the friendliness of the staff. Also, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. They get 5 stars for that. But the hotel is a case of "You get what you pay for." The hallways had a decades old smell of stale cigarette smoke, and the room had the uriney smell of a subway. Had to ask for bath towels, and they were extremely skimpy. There was no exhaust in the bathroom, so humidity was an issue (everything felt damp). There were no USB ports and had to unplug a light to plug in a phone next to the bed. The TV did not have a remote, so had to get out of bed to turn it off (a minor inconvenience). But we were looking for something walking distance to the Iowa Irish Fest, and this fit the bill. We weren't expecting much, and it kind of met our expectations.
