    Family vacation not quite right

    The beds were good and had those Dove products that were great, good quality. I liked how the front entry smelled clean and not stale, really stood out compared to other hotels.

    It wasn't cheap but still acceptable given the situation.

    Exceptional Stay with Delightful Dining Experience!

    We spent two nights in a cozy room with friendly service. Highlight was the convenience of the attached restaurant, serving delicious meals. the staff went above and beyond. Unfortunately, breakfast options were limited, only coffee and tea. Keep an eye out for meal specials at Bennigans!

    This was an optimal selection for a date night in Urbandale with the best value for money ratio. I left my shave gel at home, and they provided some for free. Try to ask for upgrades at check-in. they might surprise you.

    Comfortable Stay with Excellent Amenities

    We really enjoyed our stay. the room was clean and well-equipped, featuring nice toiletries and a comfy bed. The hotel offered great amenities like a clean swimming pool and fast Wi-Fi, which enhanced our experience. However, the dining options could be improved, as we felt that a continental breakfast would better suit families traveling with kids.

    comfy bed
    mysterious odor

    The hotel was well-kept and clean, with a lovely woman at check-in who was super helpful. The bed was comfy, perfect for a family like ours. The pool area was a good bonus for my kiddos!

    But I do wonder if the cleaning team thought 'spider web chic' would be a trend. And let's not even get started on the mysterious odor in the bathroom-was that an avant-garde air freshener?
