10/10 Excellent

The room was very spacious. The bathroom was huge. Loved having a balcony to sit on in the morning. The neighborhood just smelled like weed. Parking was convenient but you have to pay for it.
Gabrielle, 1-night trip

Could use better signage. If the flag is not flying, hard to distinguish from adjoining hotel. (Residence Inn)

Pool was out of order but staff gave key to building next door to use thier pool.
Julie, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Housekeeping only runs every other day, which isn’t terrible in its own right. But no one told us on your cleaning day, if you don’t take “do not disturb” off the door before 11, your room will not be cleaned. 4 nights without new towels or emptied trash bins is a less that ideal stay.
Daniel, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Property was very satisfactory. Check in adequate. After hours employees.... left an impression that will never be given a chance to be repeated, at least not at this location.
Dan, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The room was loud...you could hear everything...sneezing, coughing, walking, doors, etc. Our room was the last room on the bottom floor with I believe a garbage area on the other side and constant blood noise! The room had a perfume strong smell with mold smell as well...so strong made you sick and get a headache because you could not get any sleep.
Amanda, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Loved the view of the river, how close it was to downtown and lots of day time options for exploring
Kerissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Room was very clean and staff were great. Parking garage was difficult and the blinds in the room wouldn’t close allowing light in that morning.
Kristine, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Have stayed here several times. It's always clean and polite staff. We like the downtown location... walkable to many destinations in the area... restaurants, bars, shopping. This time we went to a concert at the Iowa Event Center and walked their and back... 15 minute walk.
Tammy, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I called two days before my reservation to cancel and they refuse they cancel
Kweku, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Hotel was very dirty. Staff was not very friendly. Hotel is very old. Breakfast was horrible. Fruit was old. Not happy at all.
