The staff was great. It was a bummer the hot tub wasn’t working and the pool was way too cold to go in. However the staff was awesome and went out of their way to be helpful!

Quality Inn Cedar Rapids South
Bed was incredibly comfortable and soft. Pillows were excellent. The AC vent kept falling and facing the floor so I had to makeshift a stopper so it would cool the room. Shower was great, very hot water. East side and front door access. Checking was a breeze.
