It was nicely decorated and clean with updated furnishing. We were kindly given a great room that we didn’t request. We were in town for a concert one evening, we would rent here again. The breakfast has hot and cold options. Waffles, eggs, juice bar. Overall exceeded our expectations

I requested an accessible room for my mobility limited wife. At reception was told there were none available and that the only difference between accessible and regular room was the height of the toilet. We were given a room on the second floor. When asked where was the elevator, was told there was none. I had to help my wife climb 20 stairs. Though there was signage that mandated masks in public areas, it was not enforced. We were the only guests who complied. Otherwise, a typical property for the price.

Stayed here on a visit to ISU. Convenient location near the mall and restaurants. The drive to the university took about 5-7 minutes. Our non-smoking room was very big and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. Newer bedding and carpet throughout the room and hallway. No hint of smoke in our non-smoking room. Entire floor smelled fresh and clean. Breakfast was not bad and adequate for a quick start to our day. Exterior could use a little more curb appeal.
