My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were kept mostly clean, the check-in process was easy, and the staff was friendly. The continental breakfast was good, just what you would expect. However, the room had a very musty smell and looked outdated with some concerning stains. There was no pool available, only one ice machine, and the hallways were also outdated.

The room I stayed in was mostly clean. However, the musty smell was quite off-putting, and the outdated decor didn't help. The suspicion of bloodstains on the ceiling was alarming.

The location of the hotel was reasonably close to Iowa State University and conveniently located near the highway to Des Moines. It wasn't far from where I needed to be, but I wish it was a bit closer to my ultimate destination.

The dining experience was okay, though limited, with somewhat cramped conditions due to ongoing construction. More variety in the breakfast items would be appreciated.
Facilities

The facilities, including the lack of a pool, limited ice machines, and outdated hallways, left much to be desired.

The hotel had its ups and downs. The location was good for ISU activities and was quiet, but it was challenging to get there. The service was courteous and professional, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The dining options were minimal but sufficient to get you going for the day. Rooms needed cleaning and were smelly, particularly the nonsmoking floors that reeked of smoke.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was great for ISU activities and close to many restaurants, but the rooms had a strong smoke smell and were not ready on time. The service was unfriendly at check-in and could have been more accommodating. The dining options were minimal, but acceptable given the circumstances.
