We called ahead to reserve the few items we were needing and they made it easy and chuckled bit when they realized all we needed were a few tables chairs and ice chest. What we felt was a large event wasn't a drop in the bucket to what Aero can support with their supplies! They even gave us a discount. We would definitely use Aero for the next shindig we host.

This roadside motel is a lovey throwback to old Americana roadside motels that was a little slice of heaven. Foor $60, we reserved a king size room, which had a microwave, a mini fridge, great wifi and cable TV (important as I don't typically sleep well and use the TV to fall asleep). They also had a continental breakfast room with OJ, coffee, fruit, yogurt and honey buns. As a person with insomnia, I have to tell you, I had the best night's sleep that I'd had in ages! The mattress was comfortable, and the bedding was so soft and smelled fantastic (I'm aware that sounds weird, but I have sensory issues...so much so that I spoke to the owner in the morning when we checked out about where she purchased the bedding and the type of laundry detergent they use.) When we checked in, they recommended a local restaurant for dinner, the Sundown Bar & Grill, and I am so glad we went to dinner there! I cannot recommend this motel more! From their friendly staff, and comfortable rooms, to their fun decor and beautiful grounds (picnic tables & Adirondack chairs), I will definitely stay here again when we travel through this area. Every roadside Motel should try to be as awesome as this place.

Two weeks ago, a major disaster for our family. Our son's…read morewedding and reception were at this hotel. Checking day......Guaranteed check at 3pm. We arrived at 2pm. At 3pm, still no room.......we had four rooms, but the party had pretty much the entire hotel. At 4pm, still no room....but someone walked in the door at 4:05 and they received a room. At 4:15 again, I went to the front desk. Up to this point "Dave" was helping us. He was busy and an older taller lady with long dark & gray hair "helped" us. This is where it got ugly. The lady was the rudest hotel person I have ever met. I asked for answers to why and when. All she did was give me a nasty smirk and I actually told her to remove that smirk. I asked for the Manager, she said the Manager could not do anything about it. I asked again, within 15 minutes we had the Manager. We explain the guarantee we received when booking the Wedding and that we had a pre-wedding party to get to an an hour. She said they were having staffing issues and our four rooms have not been released yet. I informed her, I went to our rooms and the doors were open. The rooms were clean. She explained they have been inspected as complete yet. I explained to her that people have walked in and received rooms. I explained to her she needs to swap out rooms for people standing in the lobby vs. people who have not arrived. 15 minutes later we had three rooms. While standing with the manager as she clicked on her computer, I heard another guest ask the tall long haired lady, "What is going on?, Why aren't rooms ready" The same rude lady behind the counter which smirked at me...........Told the other guest, "It's none of your business." Wow. I thought her husband was going to jump over the counter at Ms. Tall & Rude. The next day I caught a room cleaner in the hallway and said they did not have to do a complete clean on our room. Just give us towels and coffee. We received NOTHING. Hotel Millwright way over promised and way under delivered. I'm shocked at the lady behind the counter. Dave (behind the counter) was nice.. The Manager did not have her arms around the operation. She made people stand in the lobby for an hour and a half while rooms were available, just not reassigned. Regarding the reception.......the facility was nice. However, certain food items ran out before all guests were fed. The bar was understaffed and the lines were long. Hope this review finds many people and saves you from the Millwright.

Fantastic meats! They have a Sampler (ribs, brisket, chicken, sides) which is a must-try, along with meals consisting of a sandwich of any of their meats along with sides, or tacos with any of their meats. Their cornbread is just right, not too dry or too oily, and the mac & cheese and smoked gouda potatoes are tasty as well. Keep an eye on their social media since they have specials from time to time posted there (hello, pulled pork nachos) as well as their location if they are using the food truck. I was worried after the loss of another bbq place recently in North Liberty and am so happy to have found T.C. Bonez this summer!

Customer service was great, the lobby and restaurant looked beautiful. Swimming pool looked clean and the fortress room was fully stocked. A Starbucks by the restaurant and they did a great job making drinks. The only down side to this location is no free breakfast. Which is fine, there plenty of places to eat within walking distance. Parking was less than $10 a night - which is a steal. And to top it all off, the room was amazing. We got a suite (that was not much more) and got a couch bed and a king size, and the view of the river was a sight to see. We have to come back often to see family, and will likely be staying here.

The restaurant server remembered what I ordered from a visit a few weeks earlier to the detail. The rooms are clean modern. I have stayed in their suites and their standard rooms and they are all nice with desk, a couch, and a table for eating that slides over your couch or chair. The bathrooms are nice with the rainforest combo and they are currently building a recency club. The only thing that I think they could do better every time I visit is to polish the water marks off the stainless faucet and handles If you book third party it is on you. Book direct and you are set.

Yes, Jackson Pollock's 'Mural,' a work from 1943, checks that box in a big way. It's been included in Pollock retrospectives in other art museums. Okay, but do they have anything else? Yes. Whoever is on the team that put together this collection deserves kudos because it's especially strong in mid-20th century and African art. Do they have any Grant Wood paintings? Grant Wood is Iowa so, yes, of course, they have a few of his works, too. What about the building itself? Well, it's shiny and new and a true pleasure to walk through. Sound expensive. What's the admission fee? It's free! Bonus: the scholarship here is great and it's directly reflected in the well-written wall labels. This is hands down one of best two art museums in the State.
