It was a nice hotel and the staff was great. Did not realize there was a parking fee, but that was my fault in missing it. All Around good stay but I have had better for a lot less in the price. Would recommend if you are wanting to be downtown it was a great location for that.

I was disappointed when we had to leave earlier due to my grandson not advancing in Iowa State Wrestling and we had my husband’s sister’s funeral to attend earlier this morning to drive back to Sioux City for and not being refunded one night stay for last night.

We were unaware of the $20 parking fee added on to an already expensive room it would have been helpful to have been posted before reservation. The breakfast was honestly awful mini portions,soggy and cold food especially compared to previous stay at separate hotel with multiple fresh options, it was a let down to anxiously wake up to, after a long day and night downtown the day before. It unfortunately just was not worth the cost of the room. We also were unable to use the hot tub, again after a long day due to not wanting to crash the party going on it was not respectful of others. We do want to add the guest services were helpful and pleasant.
