The hotel is older and the pool is pretty gross. We had cold showers the first night so they moved our room and the water in the next room was just lukewarm. On the positive side the staff are very nice and friendly and the beds were comfortable.

John

I made the reservation for two nights, but when plans changed, I called several days ahead and tried to cancel the reservation. The worker who answered the phone directed me to Expedia where I was told the amount I had paid was nonrefundable. I had been led to believe that I didn't have to pay for the room until I was at Story City and had no notice the thing was nonrefundable. I hung up. This was a very unfortunate experience, but I can promise you I will never bother Expedia with any further business and am telling all my friends to avoid Expedia and the Comfort Inn in Story City, Iowa. I regret this development as we have stayed at the Comfort Inn several times a year for the past five years or so and have generally been pleased with the hotel.
