We went to the alliant center for the garden show. We were shuttled back and forth for the two day event and bonus we were shuttled to a restaurant for dinner as long as it was within 3 miles. Absolutely wonderful

The room was super spacious and clean! The front desk staff was fantastic and the location was great. The fitness center had a peloton amongst other equipment, which was a nice surprise! The kids loved the pool and they reported that the continental breakfast was excellent :)

It was an excellent place to stay. Only complaint was they had sausage gravy but no biscuits to put it on. But we were 15 minutes early for breakfast and most of it was ready so it’s all good.
