We did a one night stay here as part of our drive back home from a week long trip. It was a good spot to stop, easy to park, check in and out was a breeze and we were in our room within 10 minutes. The 2 bedroom worked great for the family overnight. Additionally, the attached Smokehouse restaurant was super convenient, we were able to order and take to-go food up to the room to eat!

I have been staying at this hotel for the last 4 times I’ve visited Iowa and this time was by far the worst. The AC in my room was not working and when I notified the staff all I was told was “well do the best we can to fix it” it was never fixed and I was never offered a new room. I want to continue staying at this hotel because I have had no issues prior to this time but if I can’t get some kind of reimbursement for my money then I will no longer be staying. Thanks for the concern!
