We love staying here when visiting our daughter at ISU. Its proximity to campus is well worth the little bit extra you might pay. And the bar/restaurant is so nice to have. We always cap off our night with a drink. Nothing like being able to wear my slippers to the bar. Always feel safe and the staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Free breakfast is delicious!
