"Outstanding hotel near Alliant Center"

Stayed for two nights during Midwest Horse Fair. From checkin to checkout the service was seamless. The front desk staff kept us up to date with severe weather warnings and we were informed where to take shelter if needed. Text messages throughout our stay asked if anything was needed to enhance our stay. The rooms were spotless and pool area inviting. Would highly recommend a stay.
