Walked in ants in the bathroom and cobweb over the curtain. Advise the staff of this and the front counter lady handed me a duster for me to get the cobwebs off. The staff was nice. Breakfast was plain, and most people did not eat and went and got food somewhere else.

Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Didn’t try breakfast but it looked pretty decent. Older place that could use a few upgrades but overall a decent spot for the price close to WDM and Urbandale. Only complaint I had was my toilet wouldn’t properly flush and one of the light switches was broken.
