Where do I begin? We first pulled in to the parking lot and thought the place had been vacated because the parking lot was full of weeds and cracks...but there were flowers in front so I went in. I have to say the front desk lady was nice the whole time, but could not help the ways of the hotel. The key we were given did not work-she told us to pull around back to have the easiest access to our room,(which was thoughtful)but after getting everything I needed out of the car, went up the stairs, and the key didn't work. Put all the stuff back in the car, drove around to the front and went to our room-which was clean, except for the wet washcloth left in our shower-gross. The phone did not have a working front desk button so I had to call the front desk like I was making a local call. The pool was nice, but we had to prop it open with a chair because we couldn't get out of the pool area because the door was jammed shut and because it was stifling in there. Also, the hot tub had tape across it saying it needed repairs. There were no ice makers that worked in the whole building which made for really gross milk in the morning that we had bought before getting there..... We paid around 95$ for that room and when I mentioned even receiving a discount because of all the problems..she said,"don't bet on it-not from our manager". I did forget deoderant and a toothbrush-both of which she pleasantly provided for me. Our bed was very comfortable, but we needed more pillows. I have never experienced anything like this...so many things going wrong in one night. They had one computer you could have access to, but as far as using your cell phone-which you might need in case the phone doesn't work in your room-you probably won't be able to get a signal. so good luck to you if you stay there!

We traveled to my Finacee's hometown for a family member's funeral. While they did have a "Grief" rate, what they didn't have was a customer freindly attitude.
#1 - bathroom light flickering.... somplaint answered with someone bringing us the WRONG type of bulb. We went back to the desk on our way to the funeral home and it was replaced upon out return.
#2 - Bathroom shower would NOT allow full flow of water through the shower head. Half a stream of water from the shower and a bathtub full at your feet. I mentioned it but they didn't offer to move us or attempt to fix it as far as I could tell.
#3 - the 1st day we forgot our Do Not Disturb sign...so I had to go get new towels and such at the desk, but the 2nd day they didn't even make the bed.
#4 - while getting ready for the Church service the Iron leaked water all over my fiancee's silk shirt. Then the 2nd Iron from the front desk had some sort of stach build up and left spots on his other dress shirt.
We wanted to switch rooms, but every night we got back and were just too tired to deal with it.
** Wifi worked great - AT&T and Verizon cell service worked in the room. Breakfast in the morning was decent. The King sized bed was comfy.

Stayed here for ten nights during Dec of 09 while installing a printing press at a local factory. Great rate (@$40/night) due to the length of the stay, and the number of people on the crew. With that in mind always call for reservations at this hotel. They will negotiate if you speak to them in person, whereas the best rate I saw on the net was $68. My room (103) was very roomy with a comfortable bed (bed more comfortable than the Holiday Inn Express in downtown), and microwave/fridge in the room. The age of the hotel was apparent in the bathroom, but nothing gross. Definitely nicer inside than outside. Staff was courteous, helpful, and they obviously need/want business. One of their wireless routers was on the fritz during my stay, so that had to be dealt with, but otherwise it was alright. My iphone got virtually NO reception in or out of the building. Several restaurants within walking distance including the best one in town, The Okoboji Grill. Also Culver's, Perkins, Senor Tequila, KFC/Taco Bell, Subway & Pizza Ranch.

Well when the first bug crawled across the floor I took care of it but didn't worry too much about it. Then when the kids saw a big black bug crawling around in the bath tub I started taking a closer look. Turned on the lamp and in the corner was a group of 7 spider egg sacks and a pile of insect bodies underneath.

Well my friend went to the front desk while I and our kids got ready for the pool. We had stayed here so we could swim and relax after a long day at Adventureland. Well instead of enjoying ourselves we were back and forth to the front desk while they called in a cleaning crew. When we should have been swiming we were repacking and lugging our stuff up to the second floor.

Good news is that the new room appears to be bug free. However the shower soap dish is missing leaving an ugly hole in the tile and there is black stuff in what is left of the caulk around the tub.

They are repainting the outside so hopefully they are going to be heading into the interior next. The pool area was missing lights and was dark. The breakfast area looks nice but after experiencing the lack of cleaning I hesitate to eat here.

What really bothers us is that we paid full price for this room and nothing except for a 'sorry' for our ruined evening. Things happen but I then expect some kind of compensation for inconvience and disgust. I will not return to give them a second chance because they don't seem to care that I do. I would suggest for the price to head farther down the road.
