Gary, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We checked in an immediately left… the room was smelly/dirty and the locks didn’t work.. we were literally the only people in the hotel and it made my teenage daughter and I very uncomfortable. We ended up staying at the Holiday inn across the street instead

Ayad, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good breakfast, good price for just passing thru. I’d book again but the room could have been cleaner, the bathtub in particular and the fridge smelled terrible.
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel

I had booked the room because I thought I might over indulge at the Cedar Rapids Kernels and didn't want to drive home. The hotel sent me an email so I could pre check in which I'm guessing sped up the process. The hotels.com advertised an iron/ironing board available in each room but mine for whatever reason did not have an ironing board. Not a huge issue for me as I just used a towel on a table if no ironing board available. I was actually happy that my ps5 connected to the hotel wifi as they can be difficult to connect to WiFi in most hotels. My main complaint was I did not see an elevator to access the 2nd floor(my room was on 1st floor) so if you have issues going up/down steps you may want to seek a different hotel. The breakfast options offered were fairly straightforward nothing special. Overall it's a decent hotel for the price I would stay here again.
Marc, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Surprising

The hotel you could tell was recently refreshed and in good condition.
Mike, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was no Saturday breakfast provided or sign with the reason why, however on Sunday there was breakfast provided. No pool access, again no sign for reason why just cardboard over the windows.
