Find Hotels with Waterslides in Central Iowa, IA

"We booked to stay during the state fair with our 3 year old. The hotel is older, for sure. Certainly not a luxury establishment. That said, though, our rooms were clean. The AC worked very well in our room, almost freezing us out the first night until we adjusted it. Our room opened to the waterpark so we felt the humidity and smelled the chlorine when we opened that door, but we didn’t have a dampness or humidity issue in our room at all. Door C was broken so you didn’t need a keycard to get in, the guest laundry on the second floor was out of order, and the hallway carpets were kind of ripped up in a few spots. But the kid pool was warm and the pirate ship was so fun for my kid. I think understanding up front that you’re not staying at Great Wolf lodge helps manage expectations, and as long as you do that the stay was fine. We did have dinner through the on-site restaurant and the wings were very good. For it being 98 deg out this week and the state fair in town, it wasn’t too busy and served us just fine. Well stay again I’m sure. Staff were very helpful and friendly, so that was a plus! "
