Room was clean and spacious. The breakfast options on Saturday was a little disappointing, but Sunday was very good. The parking was not so good. Lot was full most of the evenings. Need more parking room.

Mixed feelings about this hotel. Room was spacious, clean, and beds comfortable. Room had a full size refrigerator with a cook top, pots and pans, dishes, & utensils. We had room service daily during our 2wk stay. Mon-Wed, they offer an appetizer and wine/beer. The downside was breakfast. The juice was watered down, regular coffee extremely strong. Food was minimal.

This is our second time staying at this hotel in Ankeny, Iowa. The first time there were few people staying at the hotel. This time there were many more people, but the hotel room was still quiet and very nice. The hotel room is very roomy compared to many other hotels. The bed is comfortable. Very comfortable.

Evidently this was the first weekend this hotel was open for business. We were not told that until check out day. We were told at check in breakfast was served at 6:00AM. The next morning when it wasn’t ready we were told breakfast was at 7:30am. Nobody knew when breakfast was. We needed more washcloths and the gentleman working couldn’t find them. Laundry was not in order as they hadn’t finished it yet. My husband and I had to take all the sheets off and replace the mattress pad correctly along with the fitted sheet because whom ever made the bed did not know what they were doing.
