we liked the convenience of being right across from the iowa state fair my only complaint was the room needed a dehumidifier in it because our clothes that were left out overnight were damp

Eco scammed
Stay was way overpriced. Hotel was dirty. Hallways were stained. Furniture was stained towels were stained. Blankets were stained. Furniture was old and used. Hot tub was broken and boarded up with a plywood pool was dirty. I would never stay there again.

Tired hotel inside, pretty sure someones given up on landscaping outside. Rates jacked WAY up because of high demand for a NASCAR race. Mold on bathroom ceiling, tv remote didnt work, weird smell in hallway. Assigned room torn up w a contractor working in it so was put in a different room. Smoking station is 3' from the front door.

Walking into the room it smelled very bad, mixture of cigarette smell and other smells. And clean the filters in the air conditioning unit and smell eventually went away. AC unit must not have been draining properly room got extremely humid during the night. Made for an uncomfortable sleep. Other than those two things nice place to stay would probably stay again.

I paid extra for a suite with Two beds and a couch and they out me in just a regular room . The door bell they have for after hours doesn’t work and when you call the hotel no one answers . This hotel used to be a great value and a decent pace to stay but I think it has changed hands and they just don’t care anymore .
