Friendly staff, clean pool and spa facilities.
Crumbs on top of room fridge, no shampoo, paper items on filled on check in.

“Excellent location for Adventure land. Glad that Prairie Meadows casino provided a shuttle 24 hours from the hotel. Friendly staff, good continental breakfast with warm items like biscuits and gravy, and waffles.”

Convenient location to Adventure land.
Hotel was filthy, wallpaper was peeling, and it smelled.

“I will never stay in this hotel again. It claimed it was 100 percent smoke free, but the first room we were given reeked of stale smoke. Then we heard the staff at the front desk making fun of us for asking for another room. All the travelers at the hotel who could not smoke inside congregated around the outside front door so you had to walk through a big smoke cloud to even get in the front door. The pool was too small and there were a bunch of people drunk/getting drunk poolside. Not a nice family environment if you ask me.”

Friendly staff, breakfast provided, location to Adventure land.
Not very clean, needs updated, pool and breakfast area too small, room smelled very smoky.

“The location worked out great to go to Adventure land but the hotel was not very clean, room smelled very smoky (even though supposedly "100% Smoke Free"). Breakfast room was too small but food was OK.”
