Good room, clean, a little worn but nice with fridge and microwave. Good AC and nice bathroom. The service is outstanding. Didn't know the area but once again I trusted Trip Advisor and it Didn't let me down. This is a very good place and not the most expensive either. Pool was a little crowed but there was some sort...

We stayed here over Iowa State's graduation weekend, so the hotel was at capacity. Service was friendly and prompt. Breakfast was better than expected, offering eggs, sausage, and waffles, not just cold cereal and yogurt. The room was good, except that we had a few problems regulating the temperature. Cleaning service was thorough but cups for hot beverages weren't replenished.... More

Staff were friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in to the hotel. Especially liked the fact that they provided bags for your sweet treats. Also, they did something different that I have never seen at any other Country Inn. They had a happy hour in the eating area. I received my choice of either 2 beers or 2... More

We have stayed here five times in the past year as we have a student at Iowa State University and have never been disappointed. Every aspect of this hotel is excellent. The staff is eager to please, attentive to needs and always courteous. The rooms are quiet, clean and the beds exceptionally comfortable. We have never had issues with heating/cooling... More

This was a golf weekend trip. We stayed at this hotel saturday night between Sat & Sun golfing. The hotel was as expected but the water pressure was very low and it never really heated up beyond luke warm. We were on the 3rd floor. I don't think I would stay here again because after a day of golfing I... More

We must have stayed here on an off night. The desk clerk when we arrived was not very friendly and it seemed painful for her to answer our questions so we quit asking.
