Good hotel

I had booked the room because I thought I might over indulge at the Cedar Rapids Kernels and didn't want to drive home. The hotel sent me an email so I could pre check in which I'm guessing sped up the process. The hotels.com advertised an iron/ironing board available in each room but mine for whatever reason did not have an ironing board. Not a huge issue for me as I just used a towel on a table if no ironing board available. I was actually happy that my ps5 connected to the hotel wifi as they can be difficult to connect to WiFi in most hotels. My main complaint was I did not see an elevator to access the 2nd floor(my room was on 1st floor) so if you have issues going up/down steps you may want to seek a different hotel. The breakfast options offered were fairly straightforward nothing special. Overall it's a decent hotel for the price I would stay here again.
