This hotel is rundown and needs a lot of work. Our shower did work very well because only about half the water was transferred to the showerhead when we pulled the water outlet switch. The room was also not as clean as we would expect and we found a couple of dead bugs in the bathroom and sink.

We were unable to stay at this hotel. Upon check-in we were asked if we wanted hot water. Never have I ever been asked this question when staying ant an hotel. Apparently their hot water broke that day. We were not willing to stay in a room, at an inflated price due to parents weekend at ISU, without hot water. The desk attendant was very nice and said we could cancel our reservation but we’d need to also cancel it through Expedia. When I called Expedia (which was a whole fiasco) I was told that I would have to pay the penalty, which was the cost of the room, and not get a reimbursement because I was outside of the cancellation window. Once again I explained that the property didn’t have hot water and given a phone number to call, only to find when I called it was the same number I had already called. I was appalled that Expedia’s response to the hotel’s issue and was not accommodating. So if the property burned down and I didn’t cancel beforehand I would be subject to paying the price of my room? I DID find a much more understandable Expedia representative through the virtual chat. They apologized for the conditions at the hotel and worked with me to get a refund. It should take 24-48 hours so it’s not guaranteed yet. I will NEVER use Expedia again after this incident. We ended up driving back home late at night as we didn’t have a place to stay and hotels were booked because of parents weekend.

Great location for easy on/off. Lots of restaurants nearby. I stop for a good rest and hot shower, which I did not get…the mattress is extremely uncomfortable and I tossed and turned all night. They have good water pressure but when you turn on the shower all you get is a trickle. The room was clean with new furniture, but the bathroom was subpar. I wouldn’t go back-definitely not worth the money spent
