The staff is very nice. Breakfast was good. This hotel is very dated and is worn. My room has a few area with peeling wallpaper. They have the worst shower head I have ever seen, it's like 1 gallon per HOUR, yet the toilet seems like it's 5 gallons per flush, go figure... The internet is only good for browsing, you cannot watch Netflix, hulu or anything and all there is. There's an HBO guide on the nightstand, but of course there's no HBO that comes in.

There's stains on the carpet in the room, in the hallways, on the love seat in my room. It's pretty gross. I'm here on business and I doubt i'll ever be in Newton, Iowa again in the future so it's a warm room and i'll move onto the next hotel next week.

We stayed here as a part of a family group. This is an older hotel which has been renovated. The hallways and rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The front desk supplied me with a local map and gave good directions. Good variety at breakfast. The only change i would make would be more fruit.

While completing a 17 day road trip, this was the worst of the Holiday Inn Express hotels, in fact worse than the Super 8 I stayed at in San Antonio, TX. When I checked in, the housekeeping staff and all their kids had taken over the lobby, had to watch where I was going to not have one of the toddlers run into me. The hotel was very dated, elevator very slow, rooms were dated, need to be renovated. Location is right next to Newton's downtown square. Tried the Maid Rite sandwiches right down the way, good. Breakfast area is small, dated. A poor value, but from what the rest of the group had to say about the other hotels around town, good luck finding a decent room.

I've stayed here often on business and even once bought the family with me from UK to stay for a few days. The hotel has a decent pool, plenty of parking and is set in a quiet corner just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. Staff have always been very frienly and helpful. Rooms are typical Holiday Inn Express rooms, clean and well maintained. Included breakfast is O.K. WiFi has been a bit variable for me but otherwise would certainly stay here again.
