We loved the property with the exception of the overwhelmingly bad odor associated with pets being in the room previously. Unfortunately, despite the room being nice and meeting our needs for space, the pet smell was unbearable and we are not able to consider returning to the property.

Ames, Iowa
We stopped on our way heading south. It was a nice room. Had plenty of space to spread after a long day in the car. Did not use any of the facilities, but they were available. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection for you. Their coffee kinda sucks. I like cleanliness and this place passes my test. I would stay here again.

Nice staff & Clean
Nice, clean hotel, very friendly & welcoming staff. Beds weren't overly comfortable. Would've been nice to know that it was under construction, I believe that should be disclosed when booking. I think it was a high demand weekend & prices were high.
