"The room was clean and odor-free, but the area by the entry elevator smelled really bad. We didn't get a receipt under the door as the hotel clerk said we would; he wasn't friendly at checkout and didn't offer an apology.2017-10-26"
"The hotel had a comfortable atmosphere. The room was clean, but the sink in my accessible room had an awkward sink that made it easy to get water on myself and the floor. The staff was friendly.2019-11-12"
"Good location. The room was comfortable, and everything worked. We had a fridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The carpet felt clean on my bare feet. The fridge worked too well and froze our drinks. No daily housekeeping; you'll have to ask for extra towels and such. No washcloths. Easy check-in and checkout. The hotel staff was friendly. Breakfast was limited but sufficient, and there was a toaster in the lobby.2021-07-23"

"I loved this hotel. It was clean and contemporary, and the staff was welcoming. The room was quiet, and the beds were comfortable. Great breakfast. I highly recommend staying here.2022-11-02"
"The hotel was easy to find off the interstate, but it was fairly pricey. Housekeeping still hadn't cleaned our room at 5 PM; I had to contact the front desk to get it cleaned. My studio king suite was smaller than I expected. Breakfast wasn't great.2019-04-15"
"The beds were really uncomfortable, and there was no coffee pot in the room. The pool wasn't open. No elevator, and it was hard for my disabled husband to go up and down the stairs. The grab-and-go breakfast didn't have much to grab.2021-06-15"
"I was disappointed. The bedside table wasn't within reach of the bed. We asked for a roll-in shower, and our room only had a bathtub; I wasn't able to shower. The hotel clerk said there was nothing he could do. A group was mistakenly given a key to my room and tried to enter. Breakfast was meager. Don't stay here.2022-08-07"
"I was given a handicap room I didn't need, and it was right by the front door and elevator, so there was a lot of noise. The toilet ran every 20 minutes. Not a good value.2021-10-25"
"Close to ISU. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Housekeepers left in the early afternoon, so rooms weren't cleaned unless guests vacated the rooms by noon.2016-05-31"

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.
