I stayed here because Iowa State had a football game and I didnt want to pay inflated hotel prices while I visited my son. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the hotel was convenient and quiet, the staff is nice. The hotel is in dire need of renovation but it is more cosmetic, but it is a lot to see.
