We stayed for an Iowa State football game and liked that we had an easy walk to the stadium so didn't have to worry about the stress of parking. The breakfast was great, the staff were friendly, and the rooms and public spaces were well kept.

We stopped here last minute on a road trip and it was the nicest hotel of our 6 days!! Pool, Hot Tub, clean room, clean bathroom, all the amenities we needed. We were so impressed and it was affordable too. Would definitely stay there again and will be looking for Best Western Plus on more trips.
