"We stayed 10/2/26, Our room was nice & our fridge had a mini freezer. They didn't have the fireplace going which would've been awesome in the main room downstairs by the bar area. When we came back from the concert after 10, the pool was very full with kids in the hot tub (which should be adults only until 11 according to their sign) The next morning I saw a sign about church service which was in the far end of the building, so that was unexpected to find in a hotel, but it was a nice area for it. We ate scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, biscuits & gravy & used the slow pancake machine that gave us 2 tiny pancakes ( I'd rather have a waffle machine) Then went to use the pool & it wasn't busy but the hot tub was closed for maintenance, not sure why, but repair guy wasn't to come till noon of course, since we're checking out by 11. I did love the heated pool & being able to swim in the outside area in October too was amazing, not sure if the "waterfall" above was broke too or the plastic curtain thing was it. There was a lot of outside seating I thought around a fire pit, but no, it would be a great addition for Iowa cool nights. I'm also used to having hot chocolate at hotels & there was none, the hot water for Tea was a small container that was empty quick, but plenty of coffee choices which I don't drink. It was a bigger hotel so I understand things happen but that's the 2 things I love most so I deducted 1 star."
