Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

10/10 Excellent
"Very very courteous staff, both on phone and in person. Nice clean accommodations with good instructions on how to use things like the shower( both over head or wand water use). Also allow dog/pet stay though charge for a whole week at a time so I used local rover.com for just one night.(would be good for those bringing an animal for university extended vet care). Lovely restaurant, again with nice folks both waitstaff and cooks. Well appointed place with lovely views, even in elevators as windowed, and decent safe parking. Mini refrig, two clothes hanging areas, I had double queen, best sleep I've had while on the road from out of state. Looks like a nice pool and workout area though I didnt ho see or try as didnt bring vlothes for these. Would come here again in a heartbeat. Just lovely."
