Large room. Two separate bedrooms with queen beds. Kitchen with full fridge. Several televisions. Quiet location overnight. Pleasant staff. Nearby restaurants.
The property is older, but well-kept. The kitchens could use more utensils and dishes, but staff provided what might be needed on request. Bathrooms could use a makeover, but clean.

The layout of the room - beds in separate rooms was very nice. It was also very close to ISU, as we were visiting campus.
Loud activity outside our room after 11:30 pm. Also, at 11 pm or so another family had tried to get into our room with a key card which unlocked our door. It was very unsettling and made us feel less safe the rest of the evening.

Breakfast options were good. Location was easy to find. Room was great.
TV didn't work in living room. Sofa bed was not made nor had bedding had to go ask. Bedding was rough not soft. King bed was very small.

Great variety
Hot, fresh
Clean and inviting
Pool area only has one table and approximately a doz chairs. At one time there was approx 25 + people in the pool area so no where to lay clothes and personal belongings other than on the floor. The loft area did have one table but zero chairs. Other than that was clean and well kept
May seem minor complaint…. But the pool and hot tub was the main reason we chose hotel was they had a pool/hot tub.

Great room for the price. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed the restaurant attached to hotel as well.
Pool and hot tub could use some maintenance, but it was clean and worked for our needs

great location, kitchenette in spacious hotel suite
pool wasn’t working / closed for repairs and maintenance, and that was something the kids were really looking forward to and equally disappointed about! also, our pull out couch linens hadn’t been changed and were filthy with food pieces and stains. had to go to front desk and get fresh linens.

The staff at this hotel were awesome & they have since, helped me get an item back I left accidentally.
I would especially like to note, Regina & a manager, who went above and beyond to assist me in our stay & followup.
Because I had two dogs, I had to walk them around the neighborhood. There were some people who tailgated in the parking area of the hotel the evening we were there, & they threw their leftover food into the yard of the hotel area. Not sure what anyone can do in this type of situation but my dogs found the food & tried to eat much of it. Sad to see guests be so inconsiderate.

Room wasn't ready when we checked in at 4 (due to staffing issues).
