Pet-friendly Hotels in Iowa from $86

"There are nice updated rooms and it is quiet when I have been there. I don't go during football or basketball season. The restaurant had a buffet breakfast on Saturday morning. There is only one free breakfast per room, and we paid for a second one. Not really impressed with breakfast."

"Summary: Won’t be back and I highly recommend you give it a miss on a $5 day (if the waterpark is open- make sure to check their calendar on their website). Good: Our room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was great. Bad: The waterpark itself is in dire need of updating (their social media says this will happen in fall 2026). It also seems that like the amenities are severely undersized- there were 50+ people waiting in line at breakfast, nowhere to sit, the lobby was packed as soon as we walked in. When we went to the waterpark, there were far too many people. The hot tubs were packed and often times had nowhere to sit, kids were waiting in line for a raft to go down the slide to then go wait in a line with 25 kids to go down the slide for 10 seconds. The lazy river was packed with tubes and kids walking. The line to go down the slide where the bucket is took 10 minutes to get through. We went to the waterpark for an hour, debated leaving the hotel, and left in the morning. "

"Spa was closed early on Saturday."

"Everything was amazing. The check-in was the most friendly experience I’ve ever had checking into a motel. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working when we were there. It had just happened and they hadn’t gotten a chance to fix it. Completely understandable that these things happen but it was disappointing not to be able to use it after a long day in the car."
