We were not fans of this hotel. The place is not very clean. The pool had a bad smell and the bottom of the pool had a slimy feel to it. The floor around the pool was unclean. The place is in need of repairs and deep cleaning. They were unwilling to give us the choice hotel price so I had to book online from the lobby. Most of the staff acted like we were an inconvenience to them. I did like that they weren't far from the interstate.

My sister and I stayed here on the first night of our road trip as it is very conveniently right off I-80. Upon getting out of the car, there was a very weird smell outside although that cannot really be traced back to the hotel. We were also getting slightly weird vibes however the second we walked inside we were immediately reassured. The inside is quiet, clean and comfortable. The guy at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I also had to call a couple times to add notes to my reservation prior to check-in and he was always the same on the phone as in person.
When we entered the room, any lingering doubt we had was erased. The beds were clean and very comfortable to sleep in with full warm comforters in comparison to other hotels that typically only provide thin blankets/quilts. There were plenty of towels (4 of each type) and the water pressure was the best we’ve ever had, not only in a hotel but ever.
Breakfast the next morning had a very good variety of delicious food (HIGHLY recommend the potatos!!) and they have drinks available 24/7. Although we didn’t use the pool, it looked very nice and clean as well.
The only things we agreed that could’ve made our experience better was if there was a gym and an elevator as we were on the second floor however these are minor things and overall our experience exceeded our expectations!! We will be back!

There are ants in the building, everyone must know! I was given my key holder and it had brown stains on it, maybe from coffee? When first entered hotel room, it had a strong smell that was probably bug spray. I decided to open the windows and seen two or three ants crawling on the air conditioner. No biggie. But a minute later I see an ant crawling on the dresser, and an ant crawling on the ice box, then an ant crawling on my bag.. then I thought, oh no.. I notice the ants are attracted to my laptop because last night, this morning, and this evening I noticed like 2 or three crawling on it. I told management and he gave me some hot shot to spray. When I get home I'm shaking everything outside before bringing in my home. I'm so not planning on returning because I don't like dealing with bugs and don't want to take bugs home, sorry. I have only one more night left after tonight and meanwhile I'm just hoping and praying I don't find an ant crawling in my bed or on me.. so far I have not. Also it turns out the people that work the front desk also clean the rooms and make the breakfast in the mornings... My friend told me the eggs were powdery and watery. None of the hot food looked appetizing, so I ended up skipping breakfast this morning and bought breakfast for the next two mornings.

We have been using this motel for over 3 or 4 years. Saturday June 29, 2024 we were very disappointed. Our room was clean but smelled like it hadn't been used for years, not liked it had been smoked in but old and musty. The breakfast menu was minimal. The waffle machine was unplugged and no batter available. The scrambled eggs were watery, not good quality. There were no biscuits or gravy, these have always been available. I watched other customers shake their heads as they looked for more hot items and waffles.

When you first get there and pull in, it's run down and outdated looking. The people at the front desk are friendly but that's the best thing I can say for them. The first room we got in was outdated and the chair was frayed and looked terrible. The air conditioner didn't work right and the sink handle was loose. We brought the air conditioner issue to the person behind the desk and he basically said that it adjusts to the temp in the room and so that's why it was hot, except we had to turn it all the way down to 50 to get it to work. Later that night after coming back from the hospital where my brother is at, the room was hot and we brought it to the person behind the desks attention once again. Same thing happened only he admitted finally that it wasn't working right on higher temps and would get a maintenance person to fix it. The next morning after sweating to death and having a really uncomfortable time because they have these weird short uncomfortable pillows to sleep on, I brought the air conditioner problem to the lady behind the desk and she finally moved us to a new room. It was more modern and the air conditioner worked. The breakfast was terrible, the eggs were watery and cold, the sausage was flavorless and the waffle maker didn't seem to fully cook the waffles. The hallway stunk 90% of the time, just like this morning. It stunk like dirty diapers. We will definitely not be revisiting this place unless they fix it. I will say the best thing about the place was the person, the lady behind the desk. The others weren't in bad either, they just need to learn to listen. That place needs A LOT of work.
Rooms: The rooms aren't half bad if you get an updated one. Otherwise they're terrible

Traveled to the Iowa City area for a weekend early anniversary getaway with my girlfriend. We have friends in the area of the hotel so it made sense to stay close. We arrived at the hotel and were checked in fairly promptly. We were handed the keys to the room but had to ask how to get to the room. Seemed strange as nearly every hotel I have stayed in they tell you how to get to the room when giving you the keys. Come to find out that the way we were told actually took us to the wrong side of the building. Got to our room and one of the keys would not work. Found a large ball of hair on the floor in the bathroom. The wall sconce just inside the room had no light bulb. Bedding appeared to be quite old and worn. Wood floors were extremely sticky...that feeling similar to pop being spilled on a floor and barely cleaned. Then it got disgusting...on the wall near the chair was approximately 50-60 ants. Not sure what was on the wall or around that chair. We did not stay to find out. Went down to the front desk and told the attendant that we could not stay in that room. He asked why and we told him. He said he was sorry but obviously didn't care and was not surprised. He tried to show us another room but we declined. When I told him I took a picture of the ants and asked if he wanted to see it his only response was "I don't think it will matter." Upon canceling our room he said as we were turning to leave "sorry we couldn't meet your standards." My standards? Of a clean room? I don't think it is really that hard. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel to anyone. There are so very many better options in the area.
Rooms: Filthy, run down with bug problem

We were visiting our family friends. It was amazing, kind and humble hospitality. Rooms were neat and clean. The location is in very good area. The exit is developing and also downtown area is beautiful to walk around. Highly recommend if you’re planning to visit.

Bright, clean, very friendly- breakfast (hot) was an unexpected nice touch.Didn’t find an elevator to 2nd floor…. But I imagine there is one. Parking lot very bright and seemed
