Renovation underway
The hotels is undergoing intensive renovations. We were woken up on Saturday to jackhammering and drilling. On top of that we were charged twice after already purchasing our room in full via Hotels.com. The hotel told me that I’ll be refunded but it may take 7-10 days.

The staff was great
Remodeling was going on during our stay. Our room was newly remodeled but the shower head would not turn on and there was a strip at the bottom of the entry door into the room that was coming off the door. We stayed in room 803.

Mediocre
Guest services were bland. Not welcoming.
People out by every door smoking.
Not sure if they offered any type of dining or breakfast.

Stayed December 13 - 15. Pros: Close to ISU where our daughter was graduating; Quiet room. Cons: Not a Christmas decoration in sight. Hot chocolate bar with no cups and no hot water. Dirty hallways. Coffee and toilet paper weren’t refilled on our second day. 4 lumpy pillows that fell flat when you laid on them.
No blanket on bed or in closet, only a sheet and bed cover. No hairdryer, no makeup mirror. Will choose a different hotel next time.

Construction Woes
Under renovations / construction, which is expexted and understandable. But the work started at 7 am and was noisy. Water did not work in the shower.
