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 The hotel felt outdated in places.

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.

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.
