Don’t bother
Very dissatisfying short stay to visit Iowa state. Check in was not friendly, for some reason my room ticket or card wasn’t printed, which was odd, the WiFi connected but there was no internet at all, and no one at front desk to help the 800 number printed on the tiny piece of paper was a joke. Breakfast was cold, and had weird fried eggs, the worst the was US flag flying outside, all in tatters, very disrespectful. We won’t be staying again,

Decent stay for the price
The hotel is a little older but had comfortable rooms. They could put more towels in the room or at least the hand towels by the sink. Breakfast was not bad.

WOULD STAY AGAIN
Very nice staff at check-in and checkout. We had a suite, which allowed more space. But there was no room division for privacy if needed. The mattress need replacing, rolled to one side. There could be be more detailed cleaning. Really liked the airconditioner/heater with the temperature and fan control. We love having a constant fan blowing to provide noise control inside and out. It was anEXCELLENT buffet breakfast, with plenty of room for seating and the food/coffee was spread out in 3 room areas. The omelets and sausage were restaurant quality. Many food choices provided. Good location to the college campus, restaurants and freeways.

One day of our stay the pool did not open due to us being told maintenance staff needed to check the levels and hadn't come in yet. The one day of our stay it did open, we got to the pool at 10am, no towels and they did not stock them. In our room our shower curtain was covered in dirt as if someone muddy took a shower and it never was cleaned. No housekeeping service in our room during our multiple day stay. Staff walking around on cell phones. Our door keep stopped working on our second night. We went to the front desk and rude customer service telling us its our own fault for keeping it in pocket. We didn't ask about fault or accuse anyone, only asked if room key could be reprogrammed.
