The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though comfortable, had a musty smell that bothered my allergies, but the housekeeping staff was friendly. The service was a bit different, with a noisy environment at night and some unprofessional behavior from the manager. The location was convenient, perfect for a short stay, and close to the conference I attended at ISU. In terms of facilities, it met basic needs but had room for improvement in service quality.

The hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had hot water in the sink and shower, providing a good night's sleep, but initial bad smell and smoke lingered. The service was a bit chaotic with late-night noise issues but staff helped promptly. The location was convenient on a one-way street close to the interstate and local restaurants. The dining experience lacked details, and the facilities were basic yet functional.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was nice, but the rooms felt a bit outdated and stuffy. The lack of amenities like shampoo or conditioner was inconvenient, with only a bar of soap provided.

The hotel provided a quiet environment, however, the room had a lingering smell of stale smoke and mustiness, even though it was supposed to be nonsmoking. The service was friendly, but there seemed to be a lack of interest from the new management, and bookings at lower rates were scarce. The location was decent for a short stay, situated on a one-way street and close to the university and local restaurants. Overall, an average experience with some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had a strong smell of stale smoke and the toilet took a long time to flush, but the location was convenient for my short stay. The service was lackluster with uninterested staff, but they did manage to move me to a new room. Overall, it was a basic motel with clean and quiet surroundings.
