AC UNIT HAD A BAD BEARING OR FAN. EVERYTIME IT KICKED IN/ON IT WAS VERY LOUD AND DISTURBING.OBVIOUSLY DIDNT SLEEP WELL DUE TO THAT PROBLEM. 2. BATHROOM FIXTURES WERE LOOSE INSIDE THE SHOWER. SIMPLY CAULKING THEM WOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT BUT THEY ARE/WERE A SHARP SURFACE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM. THOSE TWO THINGS NEED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. TIM SCOTT 319-240-5737

Staff was amazing. Short walk to the Iowa Events/Casey's Center. Comfortable beds. Location of hotel seemed safe. Breakfast is includes and offers a huge variety of options. There was some sort of issue because of booking through the 3rd party... hotels.com reserved the wrong date. Thankfully the hotel staff were super helpful and offered us an upgraded suite for the same price!

The Good and the Bad - Honest Opinion

Positive --- Clean room. Great friendly staff. Good bed. Good location. Negative --- Bad smell in lobby and hallways, $20 per day fee for parking that was not noted on Hotels.com. Many "hot" breakfast items were cold.

Car was broken into while in their garage that you have to pay for. Also, somehow I was already checked it before I went to go check out. Left feeling very uneasy.
