The hot/cold knobs on sink we’re backwards!!! There’s was no linens for the pullout sofa. The door for the closest was broken. The water coming out of the shower sprayed EVERYWHERE!! I had to fix it myself! No hot breakfast. Very disappointed for the price. Will not stay here again

There was an ambulance at the front when we arrived so the staff was obviously dealing with something. The room was nice enough and I like the 12pm check-out. A lot of food options are close by as it’s close to ISU campus. However, pool was closed, half the equipment in the gym weren’t working, and the only Gluten free option for breakfast was a yogurt.
