Quiet, easy to get a room and wasn't bothered. In a small town in rural Iowa, it's what you'd expect. Friendly but not many amenities.

Had to cancel reservation. Called Forest City Inn to cancel. Was informed that since reservation was made thru Expedia, I had to cancel thru them. Expedia representative told me I had to cancel thru Forest City. Again, I called Forest City and was told to cancel with Expedia and again Expedia told me to cancel with Forest City Inn. At that point I just said forget it!
