Have stayed here several times. It's always clean and polite staff. We like the downtown location... walkable to many destinations in the area... restaurants, bars, shopping. This time we went to a concert at the Iowa Event Center and walked their and back... 15 minute walk.

Liked: Staff & service
Not bad for an overnight stay. Room was descent and clean. The bathroom needed some extra detail. Don’t get me wrong. It was clean but the cabinet where the towels were rolled into was dusty. When I pulled out my “clean towel” it grabbed all the dust with it. 2nd the faucet needs to be replaced. It was hard to turn on and reach my desired water temperature. For one night it was fine. Descent.

Good breakfast and coffee. Very quiet. Didn't know we'd have to pay for parking. Hot tub was barely luke warm. There was mold in the shower caulking.
