“Nice Holiday Inn for this area”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

Late night visit in the area. Room was large and comfortable because they gave me the handicapped room. Otherwise all was good. Good bedding and the breakfast area was clean and well stocked. Staff was friendly during our short visit.

“Get the King Suite”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

Had a nice time at this Holiday Inn Express. We booked a King Suite for the night. Large, clean and comfortable. Had a large selection of channels on the TV. Was easy to get off and on to I-80. The included breakfast was delicious.

“Clean and accessible”

Reviewed 1 April 2013

We stayed a night while traveling through IA. Room was super clean and comfy. The bed linens were soft. The pool and breakfast area were spotless as well. A lot of choices for the free breakfast, however, there wasn't any bacon or sausage. Easy access, right off the interstate. My only complaint is that it was little pricey for the... More

“Great place to stay”

Reviewed 7 November 2012

Hotel was very easy to find. Check-in was fast and efficient. Since I am a priority club member, the clerk offered two bottles of water (not every Holiday Inn does this). Room was neat and clean and very comfortable. Breakfast bar in the morning provided everything we could have asked for.

Thank you for your wonderful compliments on our hotel! I am glad you enjoyed the extra perk of receiving water for being one of our dedicated Priority Club Rewards members. We hope to see you again! More

“Quit, enjoyable stay!”

Reviewed 4 September 2012

Everything rated a 5, except, the wireless would not work, and they will not give Government rates. The front desk referred us to the Ehost support number, and Ehost never followed up, even after two phone calls. All they could advise was there was a "hardware" issue, and that it WAS with their equpment.

“Relatively New Hotel”

Reviewed 25 July 2012

Nice pool and hot tub, and a clean comfortable room. Looks like it gets a lot of families due to it's proximity to Adventureland. Complementary breakfast is fine. It's about a mile or two east of all of the park and all of the restaurants; nothing immediately adjacent.

Thank you for your great review on our hotel! You are correct, we do get quite a bit of business from Adventureland Amusement Park during the peak season. I hope that you will stay with us again when you are in this area on business or pleasure. Have a Great Day! More
