Hotels in Cedar RapidsA full-service mid-range hotel off I-380
7.1/10
Updated rooms and helpful staff make it workable, but renovations still bring uneven standards.
This full-service mid-range hotel off I-380 is a reasonable pick for business trips or family visits, provided you confirm a renovated room. The former Marriott now operates as a Radisson under Choice Hotels. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, and newer rooms earn positive reports for comfort and updated bathrooms. Free breakfast and parking, plus an indoor pool and gym, add practical value.
The catch is a prolonged renovation: summer 2026 reviews still describe ongoing work, dusty common areas and occasional unfinished rooms or maintenance problems. Room cleanliness gets plenty of praise, but housekeeping is not consistently reliable, and breakfast divides opinion. We'd skip it if you need a reliably polished, construction-free stay or a downtown base. Confirm the work affecting your dates; the official site also lists a destination marketing fee.
