Excellent place to stay! Good location near ISU and los of amenities. Stayed in the 2Q suite. Large enough to have dining table. High ceilings. Larger bathroom. Super comfy single armchair. Quiet at night even on weekend. Very accommodating with our two dogs. The staff was fantastic! Helpful, kind and went the extra mile every time. Laundry facility and jacuzzi were awesome. Breakfast area is large with plenty of seating (unless it’s ISU move in week!). Decent hot breakfast. Good coffee. Will...

Our room was fantastic, in suite bathroom. Family room & breakfast area was nicely set up, plenty of space. We had taken the time to walk the property, very relaxing, peaceful & tranquil. On our way out on Sunday we were able to purchase some vegetables and farm fresh eggs. I wish I new about this B&B years ago when my daughter was a freshman at ISU, we would have stayed her every time. The family, Peter & Denise were wonderful to speak with. This is our new "go to" place, we will comeback...

The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The shower didn't work when we checked in but was fixed within 20 minutes of notifying the staff. The pool area was huge and the whirlpool was very relaxing. The only suggestion I would make is to figure out how the crickets are making their way into the pool area. The lobby area/breakfast area was a great place to relax without having to sit in your room. If I'm ever in the area again I will be staying here!
