The hallway was being painted. The pool is in poor condition. The hot tub pictured is not available at all. Not sure how they possibly host people for the Iowa State fair, their breakfast dining area is only made for 12 people. The sheets were stained. Pictures online are not a match to what we experienced. It made due for 1 night but seemed like we have had better experiences before spending $100 on a room before.

The building is being remodeled so things are a bit disheveled. My chief dislike involved noise. My room was faced the street and road noise required running the fan continuously to blot it out. There was also something going on above me that resulted in many thumps and bumps starting at 10:30pm and lasting until after 12:30am. The night manager was ineffective in dealing with it.
