Worked fine for a night of traveling.The breakfast that was included was enough to get your day started the room ac was ice cold almost to cold! But throughout the bulidng had to be in the high 70s. Fine people who work there but if i was staying 2 or more nights i would find a more inclusive stay.

I'd like to start off by saying that both Tim & Jamy who took care of our check-in and the majority of our stay! They amazing! I've never met such hard working, kind, quick to respond and nicer people! They never turned away from doing their best to make a guest happy! Kudos to them! As far as the hotel itself, it could use some up grades, maybe an elevator for guests & a bigger parking lot. My room was clean, beds comfy, but one of the curtain drapes were missing some hooks, at least 4-5. If it wasnt for Tim & Jamy and their patience & kindness

My room was dirty, towels had stains, bathroom walls had feces smears, no hot water, room smelled very bad. Curtains and lampshade had stains on it. Lock on door didn't work well. I did not sleep well cause of it I checked out a day early. They wouldn't give me any kind of refund or apology. Expedia should be ashamed for suggesting this room to me next time I'll try Orbitz or trivago

Property description was totally misleading and should be fined for false information. Property was run down. It smelled. Property stated 5 min WALK to ISU. FALSE. It also stated room service. FALSE. Not even a vending machine. Did not stay at this property felt unsafe. Area was gloomy and so was the reception area. The receptionist was the maintenance man.

Service was awful. Our room did not get cleaned once during our 5 night stay, we had to go to the front desk to ask for new towels and even when we did go down there they didn’t have any cleaned. Anytime one of us went to take a shower the water the ice cold. The back of the bathroom door was stapled together.

It was a good stay. The check in was pleasant and the room was clean & beds were extremely comfortable. The pool was nice & clean. The only con was the breakfast was pretty lame. Only coffee, cereal & waffles & bread. No fruit or juice or yogurt. But it’s free so it wont stop me from staying again as everything else was great.
