The room appeared nice and clean. Pleasant smell when you walked into the room. Accessible shower and chair for showering. High toilet. I'm a wheelchair user. Plenty of space in the restroom. Bed was comfy-ish for a hotel. Pillows were soft. Breakfast offered a decent variety. We had a pleasant stay.

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 .
