Stranded but good place to stay

We were stranded in Iowa due to car trouble, but luckily were near this hotel. There’s a good Cajun restaurant nearby. Coffee at this hotel breakfast is good Community Coffee, multiple varieties. Clean and quiet.

Quick Stay

The room was exceptionally clean and newly renovated. However, we encountered a minor inconvenience: breakfast ended at 9 am, which was too late for us after a long night of driving. I had hoped to get my toddler some apple juice and dry cereal for the road.

Disliked: Amenities
The property was very clean, staff was friendly and beds were comfortable! The only thing that was crazy was the food monitoring! They have a little window where you have to ask for some food and they only give you what they “feel” like a serving is. I have never been to a hotel breakfast where the food was rationed! As much as we paid to stay there for 4 days, that was ridiculous if I am being honest! You need to change that! One of the other guests came down 45 minutes before breakfast was ending and they told her they only had grits left and they were not going to cook more eggs and pancakes. That is so crazy! If breakfast is from a certain hour to a certain hour, you make sure there is plenty of food for those food times specified! Do t upset your guests, let them eat freely just like we paid freely!
