The staff was great! The whole stay was Great! Very clean Very quiet, The ONLY reason I say 4 stars is because the hot tub is advertised and it was shut down and they have no intentions on fixing it, which is fine but don't advertise it then.

Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Didn’t try breakfast but it looked pretty decent. Older place that could use a few upgrades but overall a decent spot for the price close to WDM and Urbandale. Only complaint I had was my toilet wouldn’t properly flush and one of the light switches was broken.
