    The inviting decor in the common areas was lovely, making me feel right at home. Everything was accessible and easy to navigate, which is essential for a seamless stay for us seasoned travelers.

    Better cleaning standards needed for guest rooms.

    high heat
    chilly atmosphere

    The friendly staff made me feel right at home, and the pet-friendly vibe was a total win for my furry buddy. Plus, the location was a stone's throw from some killer local eats that I couldn't resist exploring!

    early breakfast
    maintenance issues
    cleanliness concerns

    Equal parts impressive and disappointing

    Friendly staff made check-in a breeze. Breakfast starts early at 6am. Room quality was decent, providing comfort for our stay.

    The bathroom needed maintenance, with mold issues and unattended cleanliness concerns. The hotel felt outdated in places.

    great location
    musty odor

    The business center was great for our planning sessions, and the location let us easily visit Jack Trice Stadium and explore local restaurants. Staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay enjoyable.

    The only downside was the musty odor in our room. it could definitely use better ventilation.

    decent breakfast

    It was a cheap hotel but the room was very clean and spacious which I really appreciated. Breakfast had quite a few offerings like waffles, biscuits and gravy, definitely made mornings better for me.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but still acceptable for what I got.
