Pool closed
The only downside was that the pool/hot tub was closed for renovation and there was not mention of this prior to booking and it was one of the reasons i chose this one

The room was perfectly comfortable and the hotel was well located for our event at Iowa State. There were a lot of families there that had kids running all over and trying to get in peoples doors while I was there though.
