Top Cherry Glen Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I came to ride my bicycle on the high Tresstle trail to the Raccoon river trail. The hotel was a good location and I happened to be there at a time when there was not a lot of guests. The room was nice and comfortable and it was very quiet. The staff was nice and helpful. I didn't check out any of the other amenities so I can't review them. Overall I had a pleasant experience."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk."
