6/10 Okay
"You get what you pay for. Staff argued about our reservation. Homeless guy came up to us as we were unloading the car. Hotel is old. Damp smell, door hinges and chair in our room were rusty. Hope you like cornflakes or fruitloops for breakfast, because that’s all they had with a few pieces of fruit. Recommend paying a few extra dollars more to stay at new hotels on next exit in Urbandale."
