Breakfast was good. Staff was great. They are apparently going thru a renovation so it was a little messy. Updates are needed, its run down. Elevator had issues, shampoo & conditioner in shower dispenser empty, and overall not fresh. But we liked the location as we had an event at Caseys center. Once the renovation is finished it will be a great property
