This place was great! Perfect location for walking to all the things! The staff were amazing, the lady at the front desk was so welcoming and kind. Breakfast was very good! Room was clean, spacious and bed was comfy!
The three female staff I encountered were very nice and friendly. Everything was smooth and the room was great! It was super close to the farmers market! I would stay here again!
We stayed just one night. Chose entirely because it was close proximity to the Iowa Cubs stadium. The room was spacious, clean and welcoming. Breakfast was exceptional many options including several healthy options - truly one of the best ‘free’ hotel breakfasts I’ve had - and I’ve traveled a lot. Staff was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again!

Had to move rooms because of the train but that was my fault for not doing better research on the property. Stayed in a room facing the garden side and it was fine as far as train noise. Rooms were nice and clean and beds comfy. We had some issues with the air and shower in room 218. Hopefully they get it fixed for the next people. Breakfast was ok. More options for breakfast would be nice. Great location and close to bars and restaurants.
The staff that checked us in was rude. But over all the room was great, Location was great, breakfast staff was great, the gentleman that checked us out was great. I would stay again.
Everything was clean, comfortable, and staff were excellent.

What I liked: Early check in option, close to downtown but not in the center of it all, full kitchen, bathtub, nice breakfast, staff friendly and helpful.
What I didn't like: Did not respond quickly to text communication, had to ask for supplies more than once, pillows were super flat and hotel only has one kind of pillow, the walls are thin and you heard people banging around and walking around upstairs, ice only on 2nd floor but water filter for water bottles only in gym on 1st floor, train 2 feet outside your window that ran frequently and early in the morning. Cost $20/day to park.
