This was the worst motel I have ever stayed in!!! Went on a long motorcycle ride, and just wanted to find a place to lay my head. That's about all it was good for. The first room they gave us was dirty... bed unmade, trash everywhere, etc. We went to the front desk and the lady working was very sorry and very nice, but didn't seem to know where to put us. We are smokers and wanted a smoking room. They didn't have any smoking rooms left, but the owner handed us an ashtray and said ""it's a smoking room now"". I wouldn't mind smoking outside if they didn't have any smoking rooms left, but when I got to the room, I understood why he didn't mind giving us the ashtray. The carpet was atrocious and when I went to take a shower, the handle to turn the water on came off in my hand. The tiles were missing all over the bathroom, the toilet looked like it hadn't been cleaned in years. They advertise coffee makers and alarm clocks. Not only did we not have either, there was no remote to the TV either. The smell in the room made me think they had just removed a corpse or something as equally bad. They make you pay in advance and there is no refund, now I know why. They advertise that they have the largest indoor pool in Iowa, however it has been closed for years for ""improvements"". I would NEVER stay there again, or recommend it to ANYONE!
