"Enjoyed our stay."

We came to this hotel for the Iowa State Fair. From the start the people at the front desk were very welcoming and willing to help out with any questions we had. Kudos to the cleaning staff as our room was in TIP TOP SHAPE with very comfortable beds. We didn't need a thing. I so was glad to have the fresh daily lemon water provided in the lobby. We would definitely stay here again.
