    The location was magnificent and great, in the middle of jackson, it's a plus. Also, Iowa State Center was 2 miles away from the property. The room was incredibly comfortable and offered a shower, hairdryers and bath sheets, so that guests had essentials...

    multiple pillow options
    loud bathroom door

    Comfortable beds for a short stay

    Woke up in a beautifully decorated room with multiple pillow options. The outdoor swimming pool looked inviting, even if we didn't dive in. The staff greeted us warmly.

    The bathroom door in the hallway slammed loudly all night, difficult to catch some Z's. I'd recommend checking into soundproofing !

    Our Executive Suite with 2 Queens was fantastic! The beds were super comfy, like sleeping on clouds. The room felt spacious and modern. I loved that there were multiple pillow options too. Plus, the big shower was awesome for cleaning up after a long day. It.

    soundproofing issues

    The location is excellent, and the friendly staff added a cute touch to our visit. The room itself was nicely decorated. The bathroom door in the hallway created some noise disruptions throughout the night, and the pool could use a little warmth for a better swimming experience. Soundproofing could be improved to enhance overall comfort .
