Americas Best Value Inn & Suites

The pool had spiders in it. The pool room was dark, dreary. The whirlpool was out of order and the hot tub was MAYBE 80-​sum°, it should have been WAY hotter. I stuck a foot in and didn’t bother. I was so disappointed. I brought my son here to have some us time and swim, recharge.

ALSO known in Iowa as the Blue Wolf Lodge. Clearly they were closed for a while and reopened. The owners have planted a vegetable garden so they can continue to eat even if business tapers off. It was very nice hotel with a hot tub and indoor pool in it’s day. If your looking for multiple rooms at a good price, this place will do fine. Its really off the beaten path. We staggered out of a wedding reception after 3 Keg-​beers and were considering a night cap or two. Seeing the Motels «Happy Hour Bar» empty at 10 o’clock except for the bartender checking for text messages killed any buzz for the evening. We skipped the hot tub and just went to bed. Very clean rooms and a fantastic shower. The shower room seals like a fridge door. And the exhaust fan has a switch. So what? Well, you step out of an old fashioned shower that offers way more than the standard pint-​per-​hour mist and the shower room is warm! Awesome. The room coffee-​maker is tiny and the room iron is full size. We skipped the Continental breakfast and headed to the Comfort Inn morning banquet to join the rest of the peeps. I offered to pay for breakfast at the desk but she waved me off and said «no problem». But then my family paid $ 40 more per night than we did. The bed was fine, so I’ve no regrets. All our Best to the Happy Bride and Groom!
