I stayed here because Iowa State had a football game and I didnt want to pay inflated hotel prices while I visited my son. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the hotel was convenient and quiet, the staff is nice. The hotel is in dire need of renovation but it is more cosmetic, but it is a lot to see.

This facility needs a few updates; bedside table had cracked veneer, some carpet stains in the hallway. Also, the powdered eggs,( scrambled egg mixture) was a bit grainy. Overall the room was clean, staff person was nice and welcoming. I would stay again.
