Handicapped room was not by handicapped parking and miles from dining room. Ext door by our room did not lock so did not need room key to get in which means anyone could get in!! Safety no!! Ext trash can overflowing at 6 PM when we checked in. Weeds galore in landscaping. Big piece of vinyl facia from the other end of building in front of our window. In room coffee was good but no half and half. Dead bugs in bathroom floor and one was moving in the morning. I had to go to quick shop next door and buy half and half for in room coffee. Coffee was a good brand in room. Coffee in lobby was weak and cold. With COVid I don't expect breakfast like before but good coffee/cream is essential. front desk gal when checking in was blah. Should not get Best Western name - I do not remember the travelocity stars for this hoetl, and can't find it this morning, but should have 1 star!

The staff was friendly, breakfast was good, and the pool was clean. My only complaint was the noise level. We could hear the sound of every door.

Comfortable & Modern

The hotel has recently been remodeled. It is very nice, clean, and comfortable. Our room had a microwave & refrigerator as well. We will stay at Best Western again.

Average hotel.

Pros: room was clean and beds comfortable
Cons: Better breakfast area to get food and some additional items like bacon and sausage.
Location: Location not too far off Hwy 30 and close to ISU and sports complex
Needed a hotel for granddaughter's basketball tourney at ISU. Hotel was clean and staff friendly. They were renovating, so hallways smelled like carpet glue. Breakfast was okay, but set up small to get food. I thought the cost of the room was high at $130 before all the taxes were on and over $150 after taxes.

Hotel is in process of remodel. But still nice and very clean. Beds were very comfortable! Staff on the second night wasn't able to answer many of our questions and yelled at the kids when going to the room to be quiet, but the whole lobby was full of adults being loud and obnoxious and nothing was said to them. (It was only 930pm also)
