The fellow at the front desk (I'm terrible with names) was absolutely considerate, friendly and accommodating. Exceptional service, very much appreciated.

Disappointed
Very upsetting because it took an hour and a half to get us in our room. The clerk had has try several different cards (12+ cards) with 4 different rooms!!! Then he continued to not check up on us sitting in the hallway with our children. We had to always approach the front desk & say it's still not working after he had told my husband and I that he would come back! I have 2 young children that were ready to relax, go swimming, and eat that had to wait a long time! We finally had them go swimming without our room. We finally got a room but on the 2nd floor which I had requested 1st floor. I would like some sort of discount rate due to our circumstances. Thank you.

Our room was clean and comfortable. However, Breakfast was very disappointing. Biscuits were cold, hard and dry;sausage and gravy were also cold. Single coffee dispenser was empty, no backup fresh pot. The convenience of a hot breakfast on site was a principal reason for booking at this price, not pleased with this poor service

Love this hotel!
What a fantastic place to stay! The front desk employees in the am and pm were so nice and accommodating. Breakfast was fantastic, there was cereal, biscuits & gravy, sausage, cheese omelets, yogurt, breads & bagels. Very clean, quiet & comfortable place to stay with a heated pool and a jacuzzi!

Unfriendly staff
Understandably a busy weekend, it being Family weekend at ISU but the front desk staff was very unfriendly and made it seem that our check-in and check-out was a bother to them. The room was very comfortable but the shower curtain and tub had mold spots. Not sure I would stay here again.

I had booked a queen room and ended up with a double beds. I asked for 2 nd floor. The 1st room we were taken had a musty smell. I asked for a different room. That was a little better but had mold by the heating cooling unit. I called the front desk and I showed her the mold and I informed her my husband had mold allergies. She asked me if I wanted a different room😢. Of course I said yes. She then took me to a double bed room which was a little better and I just said okay but now I will ask to be charged for double beds not queen bed. However, the front desk lady was polite about it. For $150 and change per night, they can do better than that.

Room was clean but had a strange odor. Bathroom could have been cleaned better. Dove toiletries were empty. Hot tub was cooler temperature than pool. Pool room needed much attention, so much dirt and hair all around the area on the floor. The staff at check in and when we asked for a bar of soap (none in room) were very nice. Most efficient check-in I have ever had a hotel!

Horrible
Expected a room with a two person jetted tub. And got a room with a regular tub. Room had holes in the door and pant peeling off of the wall by shower. No towels by the pool.

Just ok. Good for one night, but not much else. No complaints but when you pay attention to the details you notice that the paint is chipping, the AC has aluminum tape holding it together, the breakfast was half empty, and there is dog hair in the rug. These details are not deal breakers, but they also make sense with the price, so once again, good for one night.

This was a mediocre stay, the hotel had a funny smell, our refrigerator didnt work and the bathroom door wasnt able to shut all the way because it wasnt the correct door. Hotel need some work and the parking lot sucks. 2.5 star hotel max. Overpriced rooms

Tub basin had rust stains, sink was missing the stopper and hair all in the drain area. Hallways had some stains. Room otherwise clean and breakfast was good. Just not what i was expecting based in other reviews. Hotel needs a little more attention to cleanliness and furniture updates.

It wasn’t horrible. Overall the beds just aren’t like any other holiday inn express that I have stayed at in the past Holiday Inn express is the only place I stay so I was surprised at the beds in this facility.

Not such a Holiday Inn
Average cleanliness. Some updates, but looked like they did a quick makeover in bathroom. Hairdryer went out 3 minutes after turning on. When I reported my room number to front desk and hairdryer was out, the desk clerk didn’t seemed surprised at all. Hot tub out, definitely not the best experience.

Very good place to stay
Breakfasts were terrific. Loved the low cholesterol options. Room was very comfortable. Toilet was a little sluggish but nothing that could not be managed. One of the emergency doors did not properly close and probably should be repaired for the safety of occupants. I was at a dog show with my dog and there is plenty of space to walk dogs around the hotel. Staff were lovely. Less than a mile from the fairground—you could walk if you want to walk. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was very good except the toilet. From the 1st time, it never really worked. Otherwise, the hotel was as we expected or even better.

Horrible property. Extremely run down and smells smoky,musty, and moldy. Pool was broken, received 2 towels for 2 people for a 2 night stay. All towels and sheets were frayed. Our team’s coach stayed in a room with two mice. Was moved to another room that was infested with ants and had to be moved a third time. There’s a menu of every item in the room and what the price is if you steal it which is horribly tacky. No smoking signs and fees posted everywhere but that didn’t stop their staff from smoking in the property. I would NEVER go back.

Dead fly in my bed that I removed. Shower was dirty/shower curtain moldy. Room was not cleaned during stay. It was a busy weekend for the area but I feel that the price was absurd for an unsanitary room.
