We've been many times to visit our son at ISU and find the college town is fun and easy to get around. The restaurants are mediocre if you're used to good food but it's still a nice place.

"We drive to Minnesota once a year. We won’t stay anywhere else. The staff is friendly and helpful, the location is quiet and within walking distance of restaurants, and it’s an easy drive to get to and from I-35.
Highly recommended!"
"Staff was helpful and friendly. I was staying here for business but was also able to have family come and visit. Walking into the lobby, there is a terrific smell. I spent 4 nights and decided to get a larger room with a sofa and mini kitchen. We stay here usually 2 - 3 times a year. They also accept pets for a charge.
The only place I found to be somewhat dirty was the elevator carpet. Otherwise the hotel was great!"
