9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
The first night I was there, somehow they double booked my room and I had somebody walk into my room around midnight. They had been given a key and it overrode the safety lock and they were able to walk right in. Then I got a phone call from the front desk basically asking me when I checked in, who checked me in etc. I knew what time I checked in but how in the world would I remember who checked me in? It was very unsettling and I ended up putting the chair under the door the rest of the nights that I was there. Likely, I will stay somewhere else my next trip to Ankeny.

7.6/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
Good hotel for a good price for a night on the road stay. Bed was comfortable and room was very quiet. I'd stay here again. Would've been nice to have some 110v outlets in parking lot for a slow EV charge.

Clark Tower
#adventure Built in 1883 by Harvey P. Jones and George K. Foster, Roseman is 107 feet in length and sits in its original location. It was renovated in 1992 at a cost of $152,515. In Robert James Waller’s novel, The Bridges of Madison County, and the movie of the same name, Roseman is the bridge Robert Kincaid seeks when he stops at Francesca Johnson’s home for directions. It is also where Francesca leaves her note inviting him to dinner. Also known as the “haunted” bridge, Roseman is where two sheriff’s posses trapped a county jail escapee in 1892. It is said the man rose up straight through the roof of the bridge, uttering a wild cry, and disappeared. He was never found, and it was decided that anyone capable of such a feat must be innocent.
