          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...

          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 !

          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 .
