Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was great for us. So convenient to the event center. We used uber to go everywhere. No public transportation that was convenient. The breakfast was great! The kitchen staff was great and friendly. The front desk staff was helpful except one young lady who did not seem to care about anything or willing to help answer questions. The room was ok. But it smelled and the furniture everywhere in the hotel was old and stained or just worn out. For the price we paid I would have rather paid 20.00/night more and stayed where there is a lounge and nice gathering area. We have stayed at a lot of comfort inns, this one was a disappointment to say the least.

The staff was super friendly. The pool was a little chilly, so we didn’t stay long. The breakfast was great, the bed was very comfortable. The proximity to the Iowa Event Center was amazing. The parking was big big enough for our big pickup.
