Great Stay

Great stay: quick & easy check-in, bar and free breakfast, clean room and bathroom, easy checkout and a clean/big/well-lit grassy area for the dog. Also, close to gas stations, multiple restaurants and grocery/liquor store. Only downsides were small pillows (square shaped) and air conditioner was loud when it was running. Either than that, I would highly recommend and stay again for the price.

Do not recommend

Pros: Location (close to restaurants, right off interstate, and Walmart close by), laminate floors, budget friendly ($59 + tax; did have to pay $50 pet deposit at check-in that I was not expecting). Cons: Noisy; woke up at midnight and 5:15am from the people above me walking around; air conditioner was loud. Pet area was a small area out back that consisted of weeds, dirt and thistles; my dog stepped on a thistle/bur and was limping the rest of the night. Toiletries (asked Front Desk for shampoo/conditioner and they said No), TV remote (only worked half the time and was unable to get CC on). Overall: good if looking for budget friendly option, but overall I do not recommend.

Great Rest

It is by the interstate but I couldn't hear it. The grassy area for pets was well-lit and maintained. There is an IHOP and Popeyes within easy walking distance.

Great Food & Service

This place has a really great patio that my 2 dogs and I were able to eat at. The food and beer was amazing! And they were very kind to my dogs, asking if they would like a water bowl. I would highly recommend this place (dogs or no dogs).

NOT dog friendly

Called to verify they had outside seating, and the lady said they only have 1 table outside and that it might be best I don't bring my dog. Be warned - NOT dog friendly!

Just ok

Ice cream was just ok. They don't accept credit or debit cards so I had to write a check. Ordered a "pup cone" for my dog, and it came out after the people behind me's ice cream. Won't go back.

Convenient (but sometimes unclean)

I live across the river in Iowa and I like to bring my dog here to run off some energy (she is a border collie). Great location, three different areas to let your dog run in, and very well shaded. Downfall would be that some pet parents don't clean up after their pets so you have to watch where you walk, and some pet parents don't watch their dogs (so tiffs and fights happen). Also, it can get really muddy - without any grass cover on some areas.
