    parking situation

    Parking situation could get pretty tight, especially if you’re rolling in late. The elevator requires room keys for access, which becomes a hassle when leaving family behind for breakfast. The bathroom faucet installation seemed off, delivering water too close to the edge, creating a mess every time you turned it on. Also, a lack of ventilation in the bathroom leads to a humid atmosphere that could use improvement.

    unpleasant odors
    hygiene issues

    the lobby smelled horrible and I found hairs on my sheets, how delightful. The bathroom faucet must've been installed by a toddler, and where was my complimentary snack? Not to mention, I expected a greeting of some sort instead of just the same old treatment everyone else receives. I almost gave a good review but just couldn’t.

    spacious suite
    great breakfast
    tight parking

    Just stayed four nights at Home2 Suites, and we loved the spacious suite! The kitchen was perfect for snacks, and breakfast had plenty of options to choose from. Parking was a tight squeeze, especially on busy nights, but it was easy to walk to nearby dining spots.

    security measures
    tight parking
    poor bathroom design

    The security measures for accessing the elevator were commendable.

    The parking situation was absolutely abhorrent. Finding a spot felt like a game of musical chairs, and maneuvering the tight spaces was frustrating, especially at peak hours. Moreover, the bathroom faucet was quite a disaster—installed incorrectly, leading to a watery mess every time I tried to wash my hands. This was compounded by the absence of proper ventilation in the bathroom, leaving it uncomfortably humid after showers. I couldn't believe the lack of attention to these details.

    helpful staff

    Perfect for family visits

    The front desk staff were helpful when we arrived. Michael and Carolynn really went above and beyond Plus, the breakfast was solid, especially the waffles!

    It wasn’t exactly cheap, but given the experience, I'd say it was still worth it.

    cozy kitchenettes
    beautiful campus
    hectic parking

    Enjoyed visiting the beautiful campus, especially while checking out the Master's programs in Organizational Leadership and Counseling. The hotel was cozy, and we appreciated the well-equipped kitchenettes for late-night snacks. Don’t miss out on the nearby parks and dining options—they’re awesome!

    Only downside was the parking situation. it got hectic at times, especially on game days. Just be prepared to plan ahead if you're driving.

    I loved my stay because the room was super spacious and all the essentials were covered. It’s just a short 15-minute stroll to the beautiful Pappajohn Sculpture Park, making it perfect for enjoying the art and fresh air while exploring the city.
