This hotel offers great value in my opinion. The rooms are clean and spacious. The continental breakfast which features a Belgian Waffle station and a copy of USA Today is also a nice compliment to the stay.

I stayed here for 1 night, but I would definitely stay longer if I needed to. The room was really nice, and you could tell that they had all been recently updated. The bathroom was really nice, especially the shower. I wish I had that shower at my own place! It's right off the interstate, and the restaurant right next door is really good. The continental breakfast was pretty big, bigger than a lot of other hotels I've stayed at. It had pretty standard offerings, but there was a lot of choices. I'd stay here again.

top-of the line room for the bottom-edge of the top-shelf pricing

The building is a bit odd; the bathroom, for example, is small and the shower is a round bulge that extends into the hotel room. The heat/air conditioning system was hard to understand. The thermostat on the wall controls the unit on the window, but I could only get the fan to run a few minutes at a time. The staff is very friendly. They'll help you with anything. They layout of the building is nice, since open stairways are as easy to get to as elevators (which are slow, as hotel elevators always are, especially in the morning). The grounds are pretty, don't miss a short walk to the PERFECT evergreens and fragrant flowerbeds. The location is great if you want to see the model farm near it, but if you just need a place to stay, it's just another hotel. For the location, though, it's far enough from highway 6 that it's not loud or distracting with traffic noise. The breakfast was very good. Check-in and check-out were easy. I wouldn't recommend it for my purpose, which was a convenient location for a business meeting, but it would be fantastic for someone making a getaway to the farm or the nearby shopping.

Considering the fact that they were doing renovation work, the hotel was pretty reasonable for the price. We had problems with the key-card not working. In our room the shower door didn't close & the shower had low water pressure. We had to request blankets a couple of times although they were nice enough to bring us a refrigerator quickly. The breakfast buffet was quite good, even got some help making waffles. The traffic noise was noticeable when the windows were open but what could you expect? If you were going to Living History Farms or on the Racoon River Bike Trail this would be an excellent location.

After arriving at the hotel, my husband asked to see what suites the hotel had available to upgrade to for the evening. The staff showed us three rooms and allowed us to easily up-grade to a king suite; no questions asked. Everyone was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Also, the rec room was a ton of fun for our family. They don't say anything about having a game room on this web site, but they have a few video games, a pool table, foosball table and dart boards; along with a big screen TV in the rec room.

Clean & Quiet in good area.

The room was fine for the price. Really the only "bad" thing is their were some pretty bad cigarette burns in one area of the carpet. Otherwise the bed was comfortable, the shower was a walkin and of larger size. It was nice and cozy.

1st room the door handle was broken we could not access room. 2nd room toliet was running when we got into room found out handle on toliet was broken and would not flush. Finally on the third try we got a room that was ok. Overall the rooms showed some signs of wear. In defense of the hotel though it did look like they were going to be starting to remodel the rooms as displays of the new room colors were in the lobby.

For the Price, the room and stay was great. Will book a room again when in area. Thanks

I had a room with a whirlpool and it was bigger than expected. Really nice room. Well worth the money spent. I would stay again.

The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do this weekend. Very nicely priced for so close to a metro. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotle was located in a good location for what we need it for. For the price of the hotel per night I have stayed in nicer. It wasn't that it was unclean. It just wasn't as nice as I expected it to be for the location.

We were plesantly surprised at the spaciousness of the room and the accomodations! We had a king-size bed, fold-out sofa, a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and a small sink in the room. The bathroom was roomy and fixtures were very nice. We enjoyed a variety of food choices for our continental breakfast, before departure the following morning. There was also a great restaurant located in the same area. We plan to stay at the Sleep Inn again the next time we are in town.
