Just OK.....
I am a frequent business traveler, and mostly stay in Holiday Inn Express Properties: They have never let me down yet. This one is adequate, but just barely. Adjacent to Drake University, it’s not a super great neighborhood, and there wasn’t any semblance of security in the parking lot, which is shared with a popular restaurant. The staff was quite helpful, and made changes to my reservation with no trouble at all. The rooms were the standard HIX issue, but the bathroom was definitely in need of a better cleaning-not horrible, but not sparkly, either. There is no elevator, so had I been traveling with samples I had to get upstairs, I would have been annoyed. The HIX breakfast was not up to the usual standards-very cramped alley in lobby and kind of dingy. The Drake Diner next door is hopping most of the time. Good solid diner food, but fresh-was fine. Perfectly adequate for a cheapy-sleepy, but I would have been displeased to camp out here for a week. OK, but not spectacular.
Traveler's tip on getting the most out of your stay
fine for basic overnight- not for an extended stay

Simply ok
In need of routine maintenance and a some sprucing up and general updating. Staff appeared to mainly be mildly interested college students.
