Room and bed were great. Pool and hot tub great. Good breakfast. Saturday we did not receive any room cleaning was out of towels and toilet paper. Was told no one working on weekend and had to come get them myself. There is a $20 per day parking fee which was not clear upon booking. There is supposed to be a "happy hour" like other Staybridge motels but was told that is only Monday - Wednesday which was not clear upon booking. I really like Staybridge Suites but I'd probably skip this one next time too many cut corners and hidden fees.

The staff was very courteous and we loved the pool and breakfast. Our room was just okay. It had everything you'd need, but certainly wasn't anything special!

"Dog-friendly", but using sodium chloride salt on the sidewalk, which was getting tracked all over the lobby. Our dog got pretty severely burned by the salt and had to be carried in and out of the hotel. Dog-safe sidewalk salt is widely available and now the standard for businesses. Particularly when you're putting it on a public sidewalk. Internet was also useless in our room. We were at the end of the hallway, and could only get 1 bar of Wifi. Couldn't get any work done. The hotel is fine. Mostly clean, fair price. Bed was comfy. But I do not recommend bringing a dog here. $75 fee is high for the market, $50 is more common - and until they change their salting practices not safe for your pup in teh winter.

Room looked as if all that was done was the beds. Shower was dirty with hair. Pretty sure there was human feces on the bathroom wall, looked totally unvacumed. Other than the uncleanliness, the hotel would have been nice...

The greeter at the front desk was pleasant and knowledgeable. We were attending a concert at Woolys. Easily walkable to the venue and we had dinner beforehand at the Iowa Taproom. Also easily walkable. Clean hotel and room. Coffee was delicious the next morning. Breakfast looked and smelled great but we chose to eat at the breakfast club a couple blocks away.
