Top Heart of Iowa Nature Trail Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"I was an ok hotel to stay in. I honestly didn't use the gym (which was smaller than i thought) nor the pool area. The place gave an old style sort of vibe which is wasn't up to my cup of tea. The rooms were clean and organized. Breakfast was ok, one night they potatoes were pretty burnt and the next night they weren't. Eggs were in a circular shape one night and the next in a taco shape with bell peppers and onions. The biscuits were always cold and dry. I think if you are looking for just a basic place to stay, not a lot of people then this is a good option."
