Breakfast was good - always a good variety, would be nice if they could share a menu online so we can plan ahead based on whats available. Pool was clean and my kids enjoyed it - had depths of 3', 4, and 5' in its deepest section with lots of towels available nearby. Room was comfy and had fridge/microwave/iron. I liked that they had actual bottles of shampoo/soap/conditioner instead of the wasteful plastic mini bottles. Plenty of towels and pillows to make the room comfy.

The beds were really high. Like my 5' mom had to have assistance to get into and out of bed with a step stool. May need to check and ask for an accessible room for anyone who is shorter or has knee/leg issues. No housekeeping services during our stay, so we just had to call the desk for anything we needed, but I don't know why they couldn't at least come to pickup trash?

I felt very safe, it was very clean. The people were very nice.

I went during college move-in, so the price was doubled. That’s the one thing I didn’t like.

The breakfast was awesome! Especially the biscuits and gravy:). The location was great! The only thing missing was a hot tub/sauna.

There was no hot/sauna. Besides breakfast that’s a good perk for the price.

I enjoyed the breakfast. The most notable part of my visit was there was nothing particularly notable... in a negative way. Nothing went wrong. Nothing was missing. Nothing stood out and made any kind of a bad impression.

The hotel overall was great! Courteous staff and the room exceeded our expectations! Clean room and comfy bed! This will be our new 'go to' hotel when we visit our daughter at ISU!

While it was not terrible, the sound from the hallway into the room was strangely loud. We figured it was because of the large gap beneath our door that caused this. Otherwise, no complaints!
