Good hotel

I had booked the room because I thought I might over indulge at the Cedar Rapids Kernels and didn't want to drive home. The hotel sent me an email so I could pre check in which I'm guessing sped up the process. The hotels.com advertised an iron/ironing board available in each room but mine for whatever reason did not have an ironing board. Not a huge issue for me as I just used a towel on a table if no ironing board available. I was actually happy that my ps5 connected to the hotel wifi as they can be difficult to connect to WiFi in most hotels. My main complaint was I did not see an elevator to access the 2nd floor(my room was on 1st floor) so if you have issues going up/down steps you may want to seek a different hotel. The breakfast options offered were fairly straightforward nothing special. Overall it's a decent hotel for the price I would stay here again.

Nice place. Pretty well maintained. Hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. The only negative, breakfast was a bit sparse. Not much to choose from and some of what was to be there was empty and it appeared as though it was not going to be replaced anytime soon.

We checked in an immediately left… the room was smelly/dirty and the locks didn’t work.. we were literally the only people in the hotel and it made my teenage daughter and I very uncomfortable. We ended up staying at the Holiday inn across the street instead
