We arrived around 730p and the property was dark. The outside lighting was terrible. Also, there were lady bugs, some sort of beetle and a spider in our room.

I stayed in the king suite. The room was extremely clean. The bed was comfortable. The whirlpool in the room was clean and conveniently faced the tv. Free water bottles and they offer to bring you comforts, such as different pillows if you need them. Great experience, overall.

Did not conform to ADA act. I am 86 and have back problems. Property does not have an elevator. I requested a first floor room but was given second floor room which required carrying my luggage up two flights of stairs and down.

Hotel was very nice and clean, bed was comfortable. Only draw back, no elevators! Carrying suitcases upstairs with disabilities is a big problem. Ask for a first floor if you are older.

It is what is advertised, and that deserves a good rating. The place is very clean and well maintained. I didn't come for frills or a pool, just a clean room for a night.

This was perhaps the cleanest, best maintained room we have ever stayed in. The bed was actually more comfortable than mine. Should we again travel through Iowa, we will most definitely go out of our way to stay again!

It was a little farther of I80 than expected. The carpets need cleaned along with the chair in our room had a big stain on it. My biggest complaint was the lighting. It was so dark, couldn’t even see to put make up on or my husband couldn’t see to shave. Breakfast was ok and the one staff person we didn’t see much of was nice.

Staff was very welcoming and friendly, super accommodating and even waived the deposit which was welcome. However my biggest complaint would be the state of the room, specifically the fact that it was infested with ants and spiders. My first 10 minutes of sitting down had me get bit by a little eight-legged cretan, followed by my feet being swarmed by a dozen ants and more once I was actually in bed. No bed bugs that I could see but the ants and spiders were pretty intolerable. Still picking off a few from my luggage on the road. Not sure if it's just the specific building that I was in or if both buildings will have this issue, or if it was even just the room itself but definitely consider it if you're going to stay here. Otherwise for the price and service if you just need somewhere for a quick stay then you can't really do much worse.

No many choices for hotels in Atlantic Iowa. This hotel is clean. The staff is nice. I only stayed one night. The room is very dimly lit. Since I was on the first floor facing the parking lot it was not always practical to open the drapes to get more light. They need a few more lightbulbs. Also, be sure to bring your own brick for charging as there are no USB ports in lamps or anywhere.

Overall the stay was good. Nice staff with the exception of one. We originally stopped by to get a room and the front desk attendant rudely told my husband there are no rooms available. We then got onto hotels.com and booked a room on there less then 10 minutes later. So not sure why she told us there weren’t any rooms. Other then that, it was a good stay and all other people were nice.

This hotel is very convenient for us as it is right down the road from our church, That is a huge plus. It was really clean but the chair in our room (I think 114) was very stained. The room was clean but I was hoping that chair was. The bed was wonderful. Bathroom very clean. Breakfast was just ok. Honestly we hated the "eggs". We wish there was fruit. This is kprobably the best place in town. Atlantic needs higher standards in hotels. However this was clean and quiet.

We stopped at this hotel on our way back to Chicago from Yellowstone. The suite was perfect for our family of five, and was spotless. The breakfast was robust and everyone was very friendly. There are plenty of choices nearby for food. If you need a place to stay when on an I-80 road trip, this is the place to go.

Very clean and comfortable room. Excellent shower pressure! The breakfast wasnt good. The eggs were really dry, the sausage was lukewarm and rubbery. Atrempted a biscuit and geavy but the biscuits were hard as a rock so i tossed it. Also, tongs would be nice for reaching in to get things like buscuits or bagels. Overall good stay. Came for wrestling, will likely be back if the team comes this way again.
