The room was clean enough and the staff is very friendly, the only thing I think, they should sell both water bottles and laundry detergent on the premises for convenience, overall I’m having a great stay, I would definitely stay here again if I ever come back to Iowa .

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was courteous. Some things need updated, small things need to be fixed like toaster wasn't working in the break room. No elevator which it made it hard hauling all my stuff up to the second floor. Since it is by the interstate you get lots of road noise.
