Hotels near Iowa Central Community College, Fort Dodge

Pros - Room was clean & decent. We did get a pizza made up by the night front desk clerk even though we arrived late. Didn't get to try out the breakfast since it was cleaned up before the 9:30 am deadline. The nice lady offered to fix us some extra but we decided to not be a burden & went ahead and checked out. Cons - Parking was a little hard due to some vehicles spacing out awkwardly. Night clerk said the parking lot fills up in the morning. So since we had a truck pulling a larger enclosed trailer, it was difficult to maneuver around some of the parking curbs. Therefore we had to park in the bowling alley next door to the parking lot. Also, the Days in parking lot is directly next to this hotel. So when customers park facing the hotel their headlights shine into the rooms facing that particular parking lot. Plug ins were kind of an issue as far as plugging in devices other than on the one bedside table or desk. I Had to sit a phone & battery charger on the floor next to bed, since there was no extra outlets near the TV stand to use. The bed stand/frame was somewhat broke down or loose so we had to carefully mount & dismount as to not have it fall off its pedestal. As for pillows, they were a bit small except for a decorative one. I Don't know why hotels have gone to pillows the size of a throw pillow but some have, unfortunately. I would recommend moving the breakfast deadline down to 10 or 10:30 for the late crowd.

Staff was not friendly. AC was off in room so it was extremely hot when I entered. Requested first floor due to an injury. Received 2nd floor with no elevator. Reserved a 2 bed room. Got a single king room. No prepayment required. However staff member informed me that they had tried to run my card already. I informed them that it would be a late check in when I booked so they should not have done so. Area was ok but not great. Very disappointing.
