Decent free breakfast, hot tub wasn't too hot the pool could've been warmer but it was ok over all, i forgot swim diapers but was able to buy some from the front desk. free cookies were good but no chocolate chip which was a tad disappointing because I love the chocolate chip ones, weelchair accessable room was smaller than the king room . Over all I enjoyed my stay very much
Front desk staff pleasant at check-in. Housekeeping very nice. Room and hotel very clean. Breakfast plentiful and wide selection with waffles, eggs, bacon, cereal, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, pastries and bread along with coffee, milk and juice. I was wary since it was by the airport, but it was very quiet at night when I was there. I found an excellent price on Priceline ($40/night). I'd definitely stay here again when I'm in town.
Bang for the Buck, clean rooms, great desk clerks and a fun atmosphere made our stay pleasant. Parking was a little too tight, but everything else was fantastic.
Front desk staff were not friendly and seemed to hate their jobs. That was after waiting about 10 minutes to even get to talk to one of them. Our room was terrible: window covers wouldn't fully close to block the outside light from coming in, our pillows were completely flat, there was an intense blinking smoke detector directly above our bed that we couldn't seem to block from our vision, walls were paper thin and we could hear every guest walk by, slam their door, or turn their showers on. When some of the doors would slam, it would actually rumble our room walls.
We hoped to use the airport shuttle and leave our car there while on vacation, however they had a strict policy that that had to be taken care of prior to checking in (which we were not aware of).
I am glad we were there for only one short night and we will not be staying here again in the future. AmericInn is just down the street stay there instead!
It's not the Waldorf, but you don't pay stupid high prices either. Room was clean and we'll appointed. Surprised by a night light, and a comforter. Staff was friendly and efficient. I would recommend it for a good night's stay.
We needed to be in Iowa City for the night, and this hotel was only a 20 minute drive away and it was a cheap option. The room was big and had everything a standard hotel room would have, including a refrigerator and a microwave. Breakfast was also included. The staff was also friendly and helpful.
The location was great just off the interstate and close the the airport. Rooms were pretty basic. Beds were comfortable but nothing fancy. The floor was a little dirty in the elevator and in the hallway.
I highly recommend this place. The staff was nice and greatly helpful. The room was clean and has great free WI-FI. There is a free breakfast with a good selection. The pool and hot tub were perfect size and temperature. Great place to go if you're in the area.
Very nice hotel. Lots of plugs near the bed, hotel staff was very nice and accommodating and the breakfast was what was expected. Definitely staying here again if in Cedar Rapids.
The room was clean and the service was mostly decent. We were checking out just as breakfast was ending and decided to grab a quick bite before heading home. The employee cleaning up the breakfast area snapped at us about breakfast being over. She made us feel very unwelcome.
The room is designed much better than most comparable motel rooms. Plus it has great "extras," like hiding the mini fridge and microwave in a huge cabinet, and having a phone charger, on the table between the beds -- I didn't have to unplug the clock. I'd truly recommend this place!
Nice clean motel. Good breakfast. Handy to the airport and interstate. Pleasant helpful staff.
As of March 2017, they are in the midst of a remodel and I was in one of the older rooms. The older rooms show signs of the old Carlson attention to detail. The new fixtures look to be a much more maintenance friendly setup from what I saw staged up in the halls that were being remodeled.
The breakfast area shows where they're going. Clean and comfortable. It is a solid competition for Hampton Inn. I would stay here again.
The rooms are comfortable, and the staff is friendly. Hot breakfast doesn't have lots of options, but good for a traveler on the go.
Overall good hotel. Wifi left something to be desired - slow, so if you have to rely on it for work or entertainment you might be dissapointed. Would have been 4 stars if internet was up to par.
Everyone who gave this hotel a good review needs a reality check stat. I knew from the second I walked in the door I made a mistake booking a room here. The stale, musty odor hit me like a brick wall. Dampness and warmth only made the smell worse! I almost walked out the door when I got into the elevator, the whole inside was smeared with filthy hand prints and god knows what else. The room was outdated, popcorn ceiling falling in. There were hairs on the bathroom floor, and it was just as musty as the rest of the hotel. Nothing is 100% clean, just enough to get by. Things are cracked and scratched, dusty, old. You can hear everything, everyone stomping and slamming doors. Never ever again, we were completely deceived and disappointed.
Bed was very comfortable and the shower always had good pressure and plenty of hot water. Staff said the room had just had the carpet cleaned but it wasn't dry so the room smelled like a musty locker room the entire weekend. When it actually worked, the wifi sucked. Breakfast was awesome. Staff not rude but not very friendly, either; I never heard a "thanks," "have a nice day," or "come back to see us," or anything that you come to expect from folks in the hospitality industry. Oh yeah, don't get a room first floor; on the second floor, they have elephants stomping around and slamming doors all night long.
I juat checked in last night for a work related trip, and the front desk was fantastic. My room was very clean and comfortably made, and breakfast was delicious. Will stay here again.
