We stayed just one night. Chose entirely because it was close proximity to the Iowa Cubs stadium. The room was spacious, clean and welcoming. Breakfast was exceptional many options including several healthy options - truly one of the best ‘free’ hotel breakfasts I’ve had - and I’ve traveled a lot. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again!
