The room was clean but very outdated. The woman at the front was very helpful and was able to change our room from a king to 2 queens. Overall the hotel was fine but we only stayed there because the other hotels closer to ISU were booked.

The best thing about our stay was the staff—very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was mediocre. Room needed more light and more USB ports (only one in the room). I was dismayed when I found open and used bottles of lotion. Room was never cleaned during our three night stay.

Was a good place to stay for the night. Didn't use the pool or breakfast so no comments there, but the room was comfortable and the staff was kind and helpful.
