The park-like area outdoors includes sculptures and displays relevant to the theme, and indoors there are custom handmade tiles on floors and walls immersing you further in the theme. I'm sure most folks just rush in to use the toilets and don't notice. There is also free WiFi so you can use your phone or laptop, altho there is a time limit.

This is one of the cleanest rest stops I've ever been to!

There's also a bunch of places to hangout outside under large trees if you want the shade. From covered picnic tables to places specially for your pets, this rest stop has a little bit of everything for everyone. There was someone even in a hammock just chillin' between two trees, perfectly unbothered. There was plenty of parking both for cars and trucks. There were also a ton of maps both state and local as well as various guides for food, attractions, and entertainment. We'll definitely be keeping this location in mind the next time we're heading to Iowa or on the same route.

The location was great, allowing for easy walks to local restaurants and grocery, and parking was simple. As with any refurbished, older brick building, the sound proofing is not great.

TERRIBLE sound proofing so you hear every door beep/door close up & down the hall day & nite. 4. $100 charge if you dont return their high end door keys. 5. Housekeeping only every 2nd day, & no mention of that on the LENGTHY detailed list you are provided at check-in. 6. You are charged 100% of your room stay when u make your reservation, & they have a mile-long convoluted cancellation policy. 7. 5-10 min. to get hot water in the shower or sink! (They disclose that on the 'lengthy list.' at check-in. 8. They are owned by an out-of-state 'comglomerate' & clearly trying to be something they are not (even the bed/bedding doesn't come close to what they promote.) 9. Sparsely staffed. 10. Over-priced for sure based on the spartan room.

It was very clean, offered several snack options in the onsite vending machines, and the outside grounds were lovely. The poetry and prose inspired theme was apparent throughout the grounds from the picnic areas to the facilities building. There are several quotes from famous writers enshrined at the site and a variety of plaques with historic lessons--a little learning opportunity off the well-beaten I-80 path. Save yourself a visit to a filthy gas station bathroom and check out this inspired alternative instead. It's definitely worth it.

Never seen something like this at an airport. Not many food options but the door has a restaurant, the Java House coffee shop (which has THE BEST CHAI) and a little snack shop. You can usually get through TSA within 8 minutes or less, I have TSA precheck and get through within 3 minutes!

Compared to flying in and out of DSM, I found the amount of required driving to be pretty even. CID is an impressive small-medium airport, with modern features and nice natural light. I counted 13-14 gates, which seemed more than enough to handle existing air traffic and future expansion. I didn't notice any Southwest movement, but I did see American, Delta, United, Allegient, and Frontier business. Who's left? JetBlue? Sun Country? Alaska? I also appreciated the easy walking distance and navigation between Check-In, Security, Gates, Baggage Claim, and the Rental Car Parking Lot. This is the Airport that DSM is probably modelling as they work through their own expansion and modernization plans. TIP: Check out the gift shop for the Iowa Hawkeye Tchotchkes, with a few Caitlin Clark items thrown in. CID is definitely Back in Black.

We brought three grandsons here to experience the farm that grandpa grew up on. They are big city kids and thoroughly enjoyed running free over the empty cornfields and lovely walking trails. The Lavender suite itself is lovely! High-end appliances fireplace, and fire pit However we came in March and it was pretty cold. I have some mobility problems. I don't use a wheelchair, but I have to have pretty easy access to shower and such. This place was perfect. They also have some tree houses that would be fun, but that would be difficult for me and this place. There's plenty large enough to sleep five or six. The grandkids said they wanna live here. That made me very happy because I was worried that they might be bored. There are no theme parks here. they loved exploring the woods and the frozen creeks along the walking trail. The hosts could not be more perfect. We were responsive. But left us to our family time!
