Travelocity Verified Review
"This is where we always want to stay when visiting, picking up, or dropping off our son to ISU. It's a very convenient location and the staff is wonderful. Last year, when we came down to help him move out of the dorm, the whole place was decorated with ISU merch and graduation decorations... it felt like a home away from home. It's a big part of why we like so much that our son chose to attend ISU and of course gives us more reason to come down and visit him. Thank You!"
