Inside reflects the outside: rustic inspired & clean. Everything is in good repair (no areas needing repair that we saw) & pristinely clean. We didn't see a speck of dust anywhere! Though there is no elevator (only 2 floors), it was easy to call the front desk after booking to request a 1st floor room. When we checked in a few days later, Dan at the front desk was so pleasant, friendly, helpful, & accommodating. He confirmed that we were assigned a 1st floor room (close to the lobby even, which I prefer) & double checked that it was ready since we arrived a bit before regular check-in time. We were prepared to wait in the lobby till check-in, but only had to wait maybe 5 min. The hotel was comfortable & our room was actually chilly - a bonus in this Iowa summer heat & humidity (91-felt like 109 said the news). We could have easily changed the temp, but it was perfect for sleeping & cuddling up watching TV. The bathroom was spacious without being impractical & the water pressure was ridiculous (aka terrific) with plenty of hot water for us! The bed was crisply made & comfortable. We both had an amazing night's sleep. There was a good sized desk with comfortable rolly chair, a comfortable oversized armchair, pot-less coffee maker, fridge, microwave, dresser & armoire as well as a nice sized TV. The thing that struck us the most about the room was how quiet it was! Though it was busy, had families with kids, & we were only 1 room from the lobby, when the room door shut, we heard NOTHING outside the room, not even the semi traffic on either of the 4 lane roads going by the hotel! We never did make it to swim in the pool, but did see some families enjoying it & they said the water was refreshingly cool. The 24/7 coffee bar also had hot water & 6 tea bag options. Breakfast was well stocked & had plentiful options: waffles, yogurt, pre-peeled hard boiled eggs, apples, mini donuts, muffins, oatmeal packets, cold cereal, milk, juice, sausage patties, egg disks (like what you find on breakfast sandwiches), bagels, cream cheese, PB, & assorted jellies. Most offerings had a choice or 2 (powdered sugar or chocolate donuts; 3 bagel flavors). This was competitively priced, a block off of I29, & with the hotel as the center of a 3 block radius, there is (in no particular order) a 24 hr McDonalds, Popeye's chicken, KFC chicken, Fazoli's, Culver's, Taco Bell, Taco Johns, a steakhouse, a nice Indian sit-down restaurant, a casual Mexican restaurant, 2 small ***** malls, a Dollar Tree, Walmart w/ gas station, Sam's club w/ member's only gas station, & a Pilot truck stop. According to my gas app, those 3 are consistently in the top 5 lowest priced stations in the entire Sioux City area as well! The only things I can come up with to complain about? I wish bananas were a breakfast option, & it would be nice if both nightstands had a lamp & available outlets instead of just the 1 side. Luckily we travel with power banks & extra charging cords just in
