Best Hotels near ALDI, Cedar Rapids

a little old but easy to go

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. When we asked for an extra pillow, they brought it up to our room in just a few minutes! The room was clean and well appointed. The A/C was nice and cool (which we really appreciated, as the place we stayed at the previous couple nights did not have working A/C). The breakfast in the restaurant upstairs restaurant was delicious and very filling.

Great services, conveniently located. Shuttle bus was so convenient use. Rooms were very clean. 👍

The hotel itself, and the staff onsite were excellent. The reservation process was cumbersome, though. It appears the call rolled over to a corporate answering service with a guy who was difficult to work with, and ended on a timeshare sales pitch. I had to hang up on him, but called the hotel back, spoke with someone onsite who was able to accommodate my needs, and everything after that was perfect!

The room is spacious, quiet and clean. Staff is helpful. There are a few restaurants nearby.

As a long time Marriott Platinum Elite member and have stayed in Marriott properties all over, and this motel is not up to Marriott standards. We have stayed at this location 3-4 times a year since it was opened. In the beginning it was top notch and a very nice motel. Over the last couple years it has gone downhill. We stayed there last fall and it wasn't a good stay. The first room they gave us, the door looked like it had been broken into and wouldn't lock. They put is in another room. The breakfast was just Jimmy Dean sandwiches, no breakfast buffet. We booked another stay last weekend and thought we would give another chance. We called a couple days before if they accepted Emotional Support dogs and if there was a charge. We were told no. Upon check in we tried to show the paper for the dog and they said ”thats ok, we don't need to see them”. We were later told that Manager need to see them and was going to charge 100. The room was a mess. There were crumbs all over the counters and on the floor. We had to go to the front desk for cooking supplies, the oven/stove took about 30 min to heat up. There was coffee in the room but no coffee maker, we were told they didn't have coffee makers in the room any more. We had grandchildren with us and asked for some microwave popcorn. They said they didn't offer that anymore. Like the stove, it took 15-20 minutes to get hot water in the shower. Water pressure was very low. There was only a 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper and we had to ask for more. Breakfast was a joke. Still no hot breakfast, just a some more of the Jimmy Dean sandwiches and a breakfast burrito. The rest was just cereal and oatmeal. We asked the manager when they were going to bring back the hot breakfast and we were told never, that this was the new Marriott policy. We told her that ALL the other Residence Inn's we had stayed in had the full breakfast and she just walked off. We noticed that all the other motels in the area their parking lots were full. This location only had maybe 20-25 cars on a Saturday night. What we experienced was a pretty good indication of why it wasn't full too. The grounds were a mess and the grass areas were **** covered. There was a fence thats around the retention pond and it was falling down. What was once a beautiful motel looked like a run down property. Management is horrible and running it into the ground. They don't understand that cutting services that make it a Marriott is running off customers. We tried to address all this with the manager but nothing was resolved. We will give out business to the other Marriott properties from now on.

We ate a late night dinner at the Perkins Restaurant right across the parking lot and they gave us a 10%discount because we were staying here. Room was clean and bathroom was clean and bright. Front desk person was very nice. Breakfast was good!

My husband made our reservation over the phone, and Alyssa was very helpful, she was also really good to us when we checked out Sunday morning. We checked in Saturday night and Ryan at the front desk was an absolute sweetheart, he was so so nice. Our room was on the second floor, all of the finishes and furniture look updated and very clean. Our room was great! Mini fridge, microwave and Keurig with coffee pods was a nice touch. Nice comfy king sized bed with good pillows and linens. Large bathroom had a tub/shower, plenty of linens and even a hair dryer. The room was fresh and clean, not stale, and not overly smelly from cleaners/air freshener type smells. Breakfast the next morning was a super surprise. Katrina was the one who prepared breakfast and it was amazing! Biscuits and gravy, bacon and cheese omelets and they were really good. There was a ton of other food also, cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, a pancake machine and cereal plus more. We didn’t dig into the other amenities that it had to offer there, but the basics that we used were perfect. We will definitely be back when we are in town again.
