First time here, and I was very pleased. It is bright, clean, and well-maintained. The complimentary breakfast far better than one would expect at this price point. Even the coffee was noticeably good quality. The staff, top to bottom, were wonderful. Everything about the hotel made it clear that the owners/managers take pride in their hotel, and take the extra step to make it special. One small example: Someone spent a good deal of time and effort decorating the lobby for Halloween. This is now my go-to hotel for Iowa State football weekends.
