Iowa State Parents, it gets hard sometimes. Tuition, etc, etc, always the etc. But stay here. You can walk to the stadium, the breakfast will last you to early dinner. Generous fridge and microwave in room. And you won't wake up to your partner Googling an etymology site on the bug across the room when you stay at other area hotels. True story.
