Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Katie, Cedar Rapids Tue, 21 August 2012

During fair time (Iowa State Fair), I expected there to be small issues. They were not a problem. I was irked that they stopped stocking breakfast items at 8:30 when breakfast isn't officially over until 9. They were overwhelmed with so many fair customers but should have been better prepared from experience to handle a larger than normal breakfast crowd for the entire time.

Liked: Clean rooms and comfortable beds.
Disliked: Poorly stocked continental breakfast.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Brian Sun, 5 January 2025

Disappointed

Liked: Location is very convenient, room was clean
Disliked: Breakfast was dreadful, they had two shows across the street at the fairgrounds that opened at 7 am for vendors who were staying there with 15 people in the lobby waiting on breakfast to open and they refused to open it till 7. Hot water lasted a whopping 4 minutes before it got ice cold. Website shows hot tub but hot tub has been permanently closed. Room was pretty nice overall, pretty modern
