The hotel is located close to the Iowa Cubs Ball Stadium. (That is a plus for us) The hotel is pretty average. The WIFI could be better. I lost signal several times. (But in my opinion-was better than previous stays) The telephone line had a very loud hum, which made it difficult to make future Choice reservations. I had to... More

We recently stayed here for the PBR at the Wells Fargo Arena which was less than a 5 minute walk away. I will say it was totally worth not fighting traffic as we were back at our room having cocktails watching people wait to get out of the parking lots across the street. As far as the hotel and the...

This is a large, downtown hotel. It has all the usual amenities and includes a pub and a large indoor swimming pool. The room was clean, neat, and well appointed. It was pretty pricey, but any hotel this close to the sports arena is bound to be. There were all sorts of events going on in town the night we... More

This was my second stay in four months. Check-in staff recognized me and welcomed me back! That felt good! Again I got a room on the seventh floor facing the state capitol building. The view was amazing. Room was clean when I got in, and so was the bathroom. There was a new flatscreen HDTV (in my previous stay the... More

Great proximity for walking to Iowa Events Center and/or Wells Fargo Arena. Hotel wifi was sorely lacking, however, and front desk was no help when I called asking that they try resetting the router. A hot tub would be a nice addition to the indoor pool area. Complimentary breakfast was adequate, although the actual hours differ from what the hotel... More

After a 5 night stay on business, I found the hotel to be reasonably clean and comfortable, but nothing special. Next time, I'll try other hotels in the area. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and helpful. Free parking and WiFi are also provided. Breakfast is included in the room rate, but it is rather plain and ordinary.... More

Check-in was quick and staff made me feel welcome. Room was spacious (one king bed) and clean. Bathroom was ok; unfortunately there was hair in the bath tub, but running the shower took care of that. Breakfast was alright, with the regular fare. The indoor pool was big and maintained well. No problems at check-out; staff promptly removed the safe... More

First off, the front desk staff were not very friendly, and were not professional in appearance. Once I got into my room, I realized that this is like many other Choice hotels I've stayed in recently...it is a nice place with lots of potential, but is very poorly managed. The elevators are tiny and dirty as are the hallway carpets.... More

The Quality Inn was handy to the interstate and to The Royal Mile. Our room had a nice view of the capitol. Included breakfast featured genuine scrambled eggs, not the frozen and reheated ones offered by Comfort Inn. Our carpet was a bit stained and with only two elevators you can have a long wait. They get extra points from... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here while attending a wedding last weekend, and we were really happy with our choice. The price was great for the location. It was super convenient (we were close enough to walk to wedding events downtown), and parking was free. The bed was cozy, and the room was clean (with the exception of a gross-looking... More
