Pros:

There is no pool so that should be advertised. Also thought it odd they wanted to charge extra per person for the room. The room slept 4 and there were 3 of us. I’ve never had a hotel do that. Maybe just me.

Nice for an overnight stay

We made an error when making our reservations. We arrived after midnight to check in. The gentleman working quickly assisted us in correcting our error, so we could check into our room.

Good hotel
Pros:

I had booked the room because I thought I might over indulge at the Cedar Rapids Kernels and didn't want to drive home. The hotel sent me an email so I could pre check in which I'm guessing sped up the process. The hotels.com advertised an iron/ironing board available in each room but mine for whatever reason did not have an ironing board. Not a huge issue for me as I just used a towel on a table if no ironing board available. I was actually happy that my ps5 connected to the hotel wifi as they can be difficult to connect to WiFi in most hotels. My main complaint was I did not see an elevator to access the 2nd floor(my room was on 1st floor) so if you have issues going up/down steps you may want to seek a different hotel. The breakfast options offered were fairly straightforward nothing special. Overall it's a decent hotel for the price I would stay here again.
