Fabulous Non-Chain Lodge. Highly Recommend!
Absolutely wonderful!! Tucked away in a nice area, Clive, Iowa, but conveniently right off the expressway. You walk in and it's like your stepping in a lodge. The theme is lodging and camping. There are comfy couches and board games for families to play. There is a beautiful fireplace on one end and the breakfast eating area with a coffee bar(!) at the other. The check-in desk is to your left. Once you check in, you walk to the elevators on your right. After stepping off the elevator you walk a cute cat-walk overlooking the lobby. Here there are tables and chairs you can sit. The rooms are nice, the bed is comfy, the lodging theme continues. I really appreciate microwave and refrigerator! The pool and hot are also very nice. We tried both😀. There were off to the side and quiet. There was a fire pit outside that we weren't able to be there for but it has 10 nice Adirondack chairs placed around it. The daily hot breakfast was wonderful. Such a selection for everyone. Did I mention the coffee bar?😀. I'm a coffee lover. Also, it is open all day. I really appreciate that. I could not find one area of this lodge that needed any touching up or wasn't clean. Whoever is the owner does a fantastic job!👏👏👏 Also, if you are visiting and need a dinner suggestion they are affiliated somehow was Machine Shed Restaurant. Fabulous customer service, fabulous quantities and reasonably priced.

A good place to stay
This hotel is easy to get to and decorated very nicely with the Northwoods theme. It is clean and the people are very friendly. Our only slight complaint was that we didn’t care for the breakfast offerings. Otherwise, a great stay.

Worth the money
Staff was very helpful at check-in. There was ice water available at the front desk for filling water bottles. Restaurants and convenience stores were close by, very walkable. The fitness room was small but very well equipped. My only complaint was that the fitness room did not open until 7 am, and the key had to be requested from the front desk, instead of being accessible with the guest room key.

This is a basic economy hotel. The price seemed high for the level of hotel. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. There was a softball tournament group staying at the hotel so the common areas were very loud. Loved the location (away from the freeway and nice sidewalks to walk my dog).
