"If you have a pet, this is the place to stay. The room was clean and smelled nice, and I didn't hear any dogs barking. Our room was conveniently on the 1st floor. But the check-in clerk was more interested in answering the phone than helping me, and the other clerk was crabby when we asked for more towels. Nice pool area; the water was warm but salty. Nice, clean whirlpool, but it wasn't warm enough. Great breakfast, and the attendant kept it stocked with fresh food. I recommend this motel for a short stay.2016-01-20"

"We were impressed with the hotel room, which was spacious and had 2 double beds and a small seating area. The shuttle dropped us off right in front of the Iowa Events Center for our concert, and it picked us up, too. There was a large selection of food at the continental breakfast, and the dining area was clean. We'd definitely stay here again.2022-02-16"

"Inexpensive hotel. I had a non-smoking room, but it smelled a bit like smoke. I liked the room layout, but not the long mirror for a headboard. The bed was comfortable, though. The bathroom door had been spattered with something and it hadn't been cleaned. Not a vacation destination, but it met my needs.2015-08-14"
"The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. The fire alarm went off shortly after our arrival, and the front desk clerk said it wouldn't be turned off until the fire department arrived. Other than that, our stay was enjoyable. I'd recommend booking here.2015-06-08"

"This hotel was really bare-bones. Had to pay for a 2nd roll of toilet paper, and there was a $25 fee if guests don't take out their own trash. The bed was more like a cot. No cooking utensils, hand towels, or tissue provided. The employees were friendly and helpful.2016-05-12"
I loved that HotelGuides helped me find a hotel. You can try to search for one yourself, but this service was so helpful. Just click on the section of the Interstate you are driving on and you see a list of hotels that actually have rooms available.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
