Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Lots of options available for drinks in the morning with your free breakfast. My only wish would be that the breakfast time lasted later on the weekends. People tend to sleep in a little bit more on the weekend and I got up just as breakfast was ending. Not ideal.

We stayed for an Iowa State football game and liked that we had an easy walk to the stadium so didn't have to worry about the stress of parking. The breakfast was great, the staff were friendly, and the rooms and public spaces were well kept.
