Pros:

Breakfast was fresh and good.

The shower curtain was to small therefore a LOT of water was on the floor. You can tell the rooms are definitely dated.

Overall I would stay here again. The staff was very helpful and helpful
The rooms big lock was broken but we just used a chair in front of the door, the room was clean. Walls are thin so if you have noisy people next door like we did could make for a long night.

Pros:

The check in was okay. The hallway and side entryway had an odd smell. The side entrance door was broken. The pool area could have been better kept. There were no towels in the pool area and there were several dead bugs on the bottom of the pool. The water was extremely cold. Breakfast was pretty good and nice assortment to choose from. Inside the room was okay. It was mostly clean. The bathtub looked like it had just been rinsed out and not actually cleaned for probably several weeks. There was built up dirt (not soap scum etc) on the bottom and around the sides of the tub. The rest of the room was clean. There was a large hole in the bathroom door that had been very poorly patched. There are very large spots of peeling enamel or paint peeling off the bathtub. The beds were nice but extremely tall. I know it sounds very odd but I am 5 ft 4 and my husband had to help me onto the bed. The matress came just below my belly button and i cant help but wonder how everyone else gets into bed. I am honestly not a hard person to please. Overall the stay was not horrible. It was tolerable. The only reason I book through expedia is because I earn points and travel more than the average person. If I had paid the normal rate of 135.00 for the room I would have asked for some type of compensation. I feel like at more than a hundred per night the hotel should be more than tolerable. We topically stay with family but wanted a place to swim so I am pretty disappointed.

Pros:

The 1st room we were put in the smoke alarm was beeping, right when we walked in the room so they switch our rooms to the one next to it because their maintenance person was not there to change the battery. The 2nd room, wasn’t the cleanest. It seemed like it could have been vacuumed more and some hair on the floor in the bathroom, but all in all it was fine. It is an older hotel that could use some work. Our bed was super comfy so that was a bonus! But our room was next to the entry doors and steps so all night long it sounded like what I thought was kids running around in the room above ours, but I think it was just people coming in and out of the building all night long? I don’t really know. Also since we were right next to the door, outside our window was a bright light, there were black out curtains, but the light was like a hallow around the outskirts of the curtain, so made it seem like it was light outside all night long, so that made it hard to sleep. Breakfast, yup nope not good. Not anything to write home about at all.
Our daughter starts college here in the fall for 4 years, so we will be staying in hotels in Storm Lake when we come visit.
Will we stay here again? We will check out other hotels in the area when we come the next times.

Everything was good, the only thing I wasn’t happy about was that the room smelled like cigarette smoke, the rest was just amazing, the breakfast bar was so nice, lots of food and the coffee was great.
