We were there just to sleep, and we did not eat on the premises. Bed was very comfortable (most important thing). Bathroom had a pedestal sink, which meant very little space for toiletries. No free breakfast either. Other than those two things, it was superb.
The guy who was working for us checked in quickly and was friendly. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfy. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
The bathroom was very small. The lack of a vanity made it difficult to get ready in the evening and morning. One had to go back and forth to get what was needed so it won’t fall into the sink or floor. Otherwise the room was fine and comfortable.
The other complaint was the food on the breakfast buffet was not warm. The scrambled eggs and the meats were not hot or even warm. Is that safe? The coffee was barely room temperature. On the positive side, the choices were good. The fruit bowl was chilled and had a nice variety.
The host who checked us in and out was very professional, helpful and friendly.
Check in went smoothly. Got to room, which looked clean. Sat on bed to relax after the drive. After about an hour, decided to turn on tv. It wouldn’t come on. Asked a housekeeping gal if she could get it on. She came in & said she couldn’t. And the AC wasn’t working either. Called to desk & the moved me from 1st floor to 4th. Was gone until later. Came home & went to bed. Realized about midnight that every time the AC kicked on, it made a horrible annoying sound for about 90 seconds. Woke me up all night when it kicked on. Bathroom lighting was a small vanity mirror circled by light. No light over shower so it was pretty dark. All in all, I’d give it a 2.5 out of 5. Did feel pretty safe walking in at dark, which was a bonus. Would not recommend.

We stopped at this hotel on our way to Des Moines Iowa. It's convenient to the highway, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the temperature was good. We checked in late (10 pm) and left early (5 pm) so we didn't get to use a lot of amenities. We were told that the pool wasn't warm -- heater want working (no worries for us) and given keys to the room and instructions on how to find it. Checkout was straightforward. Turned in our keys and we were off. We liked that we didn't have to pay for a breakfast we weren't going to be able to eat because we left so early.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The bathroom toilet leaked, the room smelled of the pool chlorine ( we were on the 5th floor, facing the pool) and no staff greeted to us. Would not stay there again.
