8/10 Very good

It’s a good hotel located near the Iowa Events Center. I like that it’s easy to get to and within walking distance of the venue and several places to eat. As most places it could probably do with some updates here and there. Like the shower valve squeaked when it was turned on but overall it’s a really clean hotel. Love that they have fridges and microwaves in room which is not so common in a lot of hotels anymore. Makes those late nights or early mornings a little easier if you can make something in your room.
