Nice hotel for a decent price.

We stayed in a river view room, and it was beautiful. Photos are from the room. Highway noise wasn’t noticeable, and was nice to get around town quick

Quiet Location and Hot Breakfast

Front desk staff were very friendly. Room was clean and beds were very comfortable. We slept very well because the location of the hotel was very quiet. Hot breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choices for breakfast from cereals to pancakes.
Edwin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Will come back anytime

The staff was super friendly. The pool was a little chilly, so we didn’t stay long. The breakfast was great, the bed was very comfortable. The proximity to the Iowa Event Center was amazing. The parking was big big enough for our big pickup.
Lisa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Must read review before

The hotel was being renovated and the room felt old and dirty. The halls were not worthy of being open for guests. The carpet was old and used as a construction site. Hard to believe the city would allow this. Hotels.com nor the hotel chain informed me and had to find out by showing up. Not fair to the customer.
