    Great place. Everyone was so nice and friendly. We interacted with a few ladies at the front desk and they were all great. The cleaning crew and breakfast folks were all so nice and friendly. Kyle and Jeremy picked us up and dropped us off in the shuttle (great service offered by Holiday Inn, by the way) and were fantastic to chat with. Rooms were clean and the hot tub and pool were great to visit after a long day. The Iowa Riverfront Trail is across the parking lot so if you want to go for a walk or bike ride, it's a conveniently located trail. We recommend this place to everyone.

    For some reason. The lady at the front desk thought it was OK to make fun of my last name at check in. There are no restaurants within 5 miles and you can hear the other guests through the walls even when they aren't being loud.

    The room was nice, realy good view of the river. The only problem was the king size bed had a dip in one side. Made sleeping a little difficult. The hot tub was great but the room key didn't work for the changing room. The room had plenty of usb ports and outlets. The shower was nice and the room was clean. Breakfast was the traditional eggs, sausage and other normal breakfast food. Staff was super helpful.

    We stayed for a night on a busier night. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast area and common space is really cool here. Pool is decent and the hot tub is nice too. The hotel is connected to the casino and next hotel over so that could be nice if you were staying for that. In the room, my TV remote didn't work except for a couple buttons. I asked the front desk for help and they gave me some ideas but the ideas didn't help. I didn't try anything else because I didn't think it was worth the hassle. The bathrooms don't have fans which does leave the room feeling a bit damp. Overall, not a bad place to stay but it definitely didn't blow me away. It's location is really easy to get to and from the interstate which was good and parking despite having a pretty busy area was not a problem.
