Though my first night was adjacent to the elevator and ice machine, which was a bit noisy, the staff was quickly to address it. Within an hour or two of me leaving feed back on how my check in went, they made arrangements for my room to be moved. All the front desk staff I encountered were more than friendly and hospitable. I’ve stayed in a lot of place yet non as accommodating as Wildwood Lodge (Clive, Iowa)!

Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Our refrigerator didn't work and they got us a working one right away. We had a accessible room, the shower was a roll in but the floor was very slippery. Loved the breakfast!!!
