"As the name suggests, the name of the hotel means that their waiters are all college students. The front desk MM is really beautiful! The hotel's good value for money is much cheaper than a hotel next to it. In fact, the room is very good, the decoration style is typical American style, the big bed is very comfortable to sleep, but the room is a bit alien, but it does not affect anything, the hot water in the bathroom is very good. Can be solved! The hotel is not far from the city center, the old-fashioned style, but it is raining, it is impossible to play ~ Idaho State University is nearby, the scale is not small, it is also very good. It is a tornado when the check-in, so play in this area It is necessary to pay attention to the weather forecast. The most accurate is the forecast of the National Weather Service (NWS), avoiding extreme weather damage such as tornadoes!"

"Hotel location is not bad, it is more convenient to go to downtown and school. The room was spacious and clean, but the air conditioning sound was a bit loud. There are not many varieties of breakfast. The front desk and the waiter are friendly, and the cleaning is done the next day, not every day."

"Check in in Iowa City, not in the city center, but east of the city. As long as there is a car, there is no problem and parking is convenient. The rooms are large, with good sanitation and complete facilities. The surroundings are quiet and conducive to sleep. Breakfast is not rich, egg bread jam juice milk coffee, no problem with fullness."
