Beverly United States of America

Breakfast was delicious. Loved the skywalks. Friendly helpful staff and very clean room

Travis United States of America

what breakfast? valet people very prompt and very polite;

Kenneth United States of America

I loved the size of the room and cleanliness of the whole establishment. I loved the skywalk, we had tournaments at the Hyvee Hall and the skywalk was a great way to access other buildings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gentleman in valet were also great. I seen them working very well under pressure.

Keisha United States of America

The views were amazing. I loved that we could unlock the doors with our phones so we didn’t have to worry about carrying a key around. The hotel was spotless! The beds were comfortable, the shower head was amazing! I also liked that you needed a key to get to the floors on the elevator that had people staying on them. You can’t get any further if you are not a guest which is a nice security feature! It was so quiet!

Kelsey United States of America

We had a great stay. We loved using the pool! The beds were very comfy, and the room was very clean.

Anna United States of America

The staff were very positive and happy to see others. The property is well placed, and having a room on a higher floor provides a great view.

Gary United States of America

We were in town for our Great niece’s graduation 👩‍🎓 from Iowa State! We had a wonderful time!

Laurette United States of America

The bar was great and I had room meal service on one night, it was very quick and the order was right. Loved the view from 25 stories up
