Picked hotel for closeness to Well Fargo Center. Property is just in need of major updating. Dirty looking walls. Old towels. Tiny elevators. Staff was friendly.

Good place for a short trip, by the way, it would be better if the tub had something to prevent one from slipping since I experienced a fall and I just see how dangerous those types of tubs are.

overall it was okay and the room was clean, but looking in the room there was some obviously missed cleaning spots as well as torn up parts from other patrons. I was overall fine with it, but the one thing that frustrated me the most is being denied a late checkout. I was in town running Dam to DSM and I just wanted an extra hour on my checkout so I could enjoy post race festivities and not rush back, but they refused even an hour extra for checkout.
