The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The shower didn't work when we checked in but was fixed within 20 minutes of notifying the staff. The pool area was huge and the whirlpool was very relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is to figure out how the crickets are making their way into the pool area. The lobby area/breakfast area was a great place to relax without having to sit in your room. If I'm ever in the area again I will be staying here!

This hotel is only about 4 months old so it is bound to be in great shape, but the staff was extremely friendly.
Especially a young woman who worked Sunday morning at the breakfast buffet. She greeted everyone like
she had known them for years! She was so natural and happy. That is not something you can teach. Great hire!

The room was well appointed and very clean when my wife and I arrived. Lucy, who worked in the breakfast room was so friendly and helpful. I booked this hotel twice on our trip to Wisconsin; one night on the way up and one night on the way back. The person working the front desk was courteous and helpful both stays also.

Excellent place to stay! Good location near ISU and los of amenities. Stayed in the 2Q suite. Large enough to have dining table. High ceilings. Larger bathroom. Super comfy single armchair. Quiet at night even on weekend. Very accommodating with our two dogs. The staff was fantastic! Helpful, kind and went the extra mile every time. Laundry facility and jacuzzi were awesome. Breakfast area is large with plenty of seating (unless it’s ISU move in week!). Decent hot breakfast. Good coffee. Will...

Our room was fantastic, in suite bathroom. Family room & breakfast area was nicely set up, plenty of space. We had taken the time to walk the property, very relaxing, peaceful & tranquil. On our way out on Sunday we were able to purchase some vegetables and farm fresh eggs. I wish I new about this B&B years ago when my daughter was a freshman at ISU, we would have stayed her every time. The family, Peter & Denise were wonderful to speak with. This is our new "go to" place, we will comeback...

Our first time to travel with a pet and pulling a long trailer. They helped find a place to park and our room was very near the exit which worked well having a puppy. Breakfast was good and was served early so we could get on our way.

We have been staying for three weeks for a job in the area. After a long days work, it's nice to have no issues when you go back to the motel. Everything is just as it should be.
