Location was great for our weekend activities in Newton. Room was better than expected... comfortable beds, clean and functional bathroom fixtures, AC and refrigerator were ice cold. Free breakfast was a bonus. Will stay here again.

2/10 Terrible

They changed the check-in age policy apparently the day before my stay so i was forced to sleep in my car in west desmoines.
Amara, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a little overpriced for what it is but honestly a decent place for a night or two.
angela, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The rooms were pretty dirty. Stains on the walls, we found a bug in our bed, hair in the tub etc. overpriced for the state the hotel is in. I wouldn’t eat the breakfast food because everything was so dirty. Nice staff but that was about the only positive thing I have to say sadly.
Sarah, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I thought the rooms have not been taken care of good enough. The walls need to be painted scratch and dents. Few places bathroom floor look like it had dirt. Food was good bad was good.
