Noelle at the front desk was the absolute best at check in! She provided excellent tips about our room and parking- all much appreciated after a long day visiting the hospital.

Clean and comfortable room, great location, and kind staff.
Really nice room, lots of space and a beautiful view! Everyone was super helpful. Short little walk to downtown and UI campus. Would definitely stay here again!
The room was spotless & had a great view. The staff was very friendly & courteous. The breakfast buffet was very filling, prepared & served as expected.
