Exceeded expectations

We stopped here last minute on a road trip and it was the nicest hotel of our 6 days!! Pool, Hot Tub, clean room, clean bathroom, all the amenities we needed. We were so impressed and it was affordable too. Would definitely stay there again and will be looking for Best Western Plus on more trips.

Care less about you

Everyone was very friendly and the room was clean.
Carolyn, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place to stay, very quiet, and excellent part of town right by Iowa State. The only downside is it’s a really big place, so you may have to walk far to get from your room to breakfast or the pool. It could use another elevator in the farther hall. But the pool and hot tub were nice, breakfast was okay, and I would stay here again.
Elaine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stay at this hotel one time a month on business. The breakfast is always well done. Love the coffee maker machine. Prices for this hotel are also reasonable.
