My husband checked out 3 days early and the “manager” was extremely rude, called me names, and refused to refund the three days he was NOT there. So we paid for someone else to use his room. They essentially made double the money on one room. I’ve never been treated so poorly by anyone working in the hotel business. I travel all year long, I sometimes need to check out early. It’s never a problem. This entire experience was a nightmare. Do not recommend. You’re better off staying in your vehicle than giving these criminals your hard earned money.

This was my first time in Iowa (from Kansas) and it was a good place to stay overall, but I must admit there were a few minor issues in the particular room I stayed in, hence my 4 star review. The toilet did not always flush well (no plunger provided) and the shower drain was somewhat clogged, as water started rising up while showering. One of the lights in the room was always out, and I could not get the TV to work, no matter how many times I tried to, with the remote control. All of the towels and washcloths provided were clean and washed, but some of them had a bit of stain. There was also an extra $30 fee for checking in early, and they only accept cash for that (no ATM machine there either, by the way) But none of that was actually a big deal to me, as I only stayed there for one day. The beds are big and comfortable, and the microwave, mini fridge, and air conditioner/heater unit worked well. I liked how there was a table, chair, lamp and phone in the room (but I only used my cell phone) and liked how the mirrors were large and not located inside the bathroom, so they don't fog up as easily. The staff is friendly and helpful, plus there is free daily breakfast and room cleaning service available. It's also conveniently located, within walking distance of a Culver's restaurant nearby. Overall, it was a nice, clean, safe place to stay when visiting Clear Lake and/or Mason City and I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a good value while on a brief stay. Thanks!

Only good thing I can say is I think they change the bed sheets. I think. The amount of human hair in the room was rather disgusting.

No deadbolt on door, bit of a sketchy feeling place. Toilet barely flushed, water came right to top of bowl with every flush. Toilet looked to have urine in it when we first got there. Bathroom sink very slow to drain. Bed was comfy. Free breakfast was BAD! Cold cereal (cereal dispensers were filthy), a few bagels and slices of bread available, but had to hold button down on toaster the whole time. Only butter, no jelly. Did have a waffle maker but we did not try that. Hard boiled eggs, juice and coffee were only other items available.

Toilet was not clean and there was mildew on the shower curtain. There was a stain on the blanket, and the pillows were dirty and flat.

The beds and bedding need updated. The pillows were horrible. 3 pillows to equal almost 1 normal pillow. Breakfast was not good as there were zero protein options available. The cleaning lady knocked on my door multiple times - I even said through the door I was staying til checkout. But she kept coming back. There were no Do Not Distrub signs to put on the door. It was one quick night - so I know, you get what you pay for. If you need multiple nights go somewhere else. If its 1 night and you just need a spot to sleep - its a good value. Jusy expect to go next door to Perkins for breakfast.
