This hotel needs refurbishing. Smelly and when we opened our window, we had to "sleep" (didn't sleep) with loud freeway noise. If you want a basic bed, this is fine but it isn't cheap. The price for what you get is appalling. I wouldn't have stayed here by choice. WiFi didn't work, too weak.

Staff was very friendly, room was clean, quiet and very comfortable. Loved all the extra outlets available. Loved breakfast subsidized with Ankeny Diner. Suggestion maybe should offer a straight dollar amount off. The choices are limiting..just a recommendation. Note, indoor pool very strong chlorine odor, but not a show stopper. Just make you let them know you would not like... More

First of all there is no elevator and the hotel has two floors. This is a two star (or less) hotel but having said this - my room was clean, although very basic. The hotel could use a real sprucing up.

Our recent stay was a good one. We really liked the pool, salt water pool, nice and warm. Any chlorine smell comes from the adjacent 6 person spa. The room was decent. Don't expect 5 star rooms for 2 star prices. Breakfast is not included, there is an attached restaurant. We had solid wifi in our room, we had our... More

I'm on a seven month tour of the United States and I've learned something: I tend to IGNORE some of the more negative reviews about restaurants and hotels and after I research a place decide to try it myself. I don't understand what the fuss on some reviews about this place is all about. The room was great. Internet was... More

The hotel was OK. Don't expect anything great. My room was ok and we had a regular window air conditioner that worked well. The bed was comfortable and the room was pretty clean. But the bathroom fan was loud and ran all night. I couldn't shut it off! We traveled with friends who stayed in a room right next door... More

I strongly recommend you DO NOT stay at this hotel. It is very dirty, the rooms are very dated and their were ANTS in the room. The hotel staff wasn't very friendly either and they could care less of my concerns.

Strong smell of chlorine at front desk. Walls/doors in need of paint. Carpet in room looked old. TV small. Bed on the soft side - same for the pillows. Wall air conditioner was extremely loud each time it came on during the night. It had a nice shower and a large pool. It did not have a nice feel. I... More
