Stayed a couple nights for business. Great location and river views. Room was nice. Hotel seemed busy but was super quiet in room. Train goes between hotel and river but that was even surprisingly quiet. Gym was nice and big with plenty of cardio but could use some more benches. Plenty of space to add them. Pool is a nice indoor lap pool. Had problems with key cards whole stay both the traditional hard cards and mobile ones. Staff did their best to make up for it and was appreciated. Had breakfast in restaurant and it was good, price was reasonable. Entire hotel staff from front desk to restaurant to maintenance- absolutely everyone was so nice and welcoming.

When we first got there, Shae greeted us at the front desk. We have traveled a lot but we must say that Shae left an imprint! She is personable, kind and went out of her way to ensure that everything for us was cared for. She is a good soul and overall lovely person. We are glad to have met her and actually have thought about her goodness and kindness ever since leaving. We need more people like her in this hustle-bustle world.

Fantastic experience! Room was spacious, clean, well appointed, and comfortable with a bed that you can just sink into. Staff were professional, friendly, and accommodating. Mississippi Ballroom overlooks, surprisingly, the Mississippi River and has a balcony with tables and chairs for comfortable lounging and viewing. Power bowl from the restaurant was freshly prepared & tasty! It's hard to find a really healthy option, but the roasted broccoli, brown rice, grilled chicken, and sriracha sauce made a tasty combo. Great experience overall!

We came to town for a dinner with old friends and had a wonderful experience. The staff at every interaction we had was helpful and friendly. From Taylor at the front desk to the bartender, the waitresses at our private dinner upstairs , and Kandi, our waitress at breakfast. The food was great and my wife also loved her swim in the salt water pool . The Merrill is a wonderful place.

The Junior Suite view was so beautiful, open and the all around windows are a next level perk, I loved it, will definitely stay here over and over and over again I have never stayed in a hotel in IOWA before so I was not sure what to expect I was not only pleasantly surprised by the view, room and amenities, but Nick on the night crew helped me and was so kind and caring, Ms Kandi at breakfast was attentive, intentionally provided all my needs, so efficient, clean and helpful; and they BOTH treated me like Royalty...Truly a WONDERFUL, one of a kind experience, it was a blessing to stay at this hotel!
