"Clean accommodations, conveniently close to Iowa State University and stadium. Seems well maintained, though one of the elevators is out and the other is slow. Breakfast was great and wait staff in restaurant super friendly."

"I was unimpressed with the staff. At check-in, the employee was rude. She kept going outside and leaving guests standing at the front desk. The next morning, there was 2 front desk staff, they both would go outside and smoke at the same time. Again, leaving guests looking around for help."
