Cedar Rapids Best Western Plus Longbranch Hotel & Convention Center

All I can say about this hotel, is that when I pulled back the sheet there was a big brown stain on the fitted sheet. I was shocked. Don't book this place.

This used to be among the best, but they are definitely due for some updates. Staff was super. Pool area was horrible. Holes in the skylights, film floating on top of the water, water stains on the ceiling from leaks... I was looking forward to a good swim, but never unpacked my suit, couldn't overcome the nasty feeling just looking at the pool area.

Nicely renovated. Great staff. Enjoyed time away yet close to home.

We loved this hotel! The rooms was nice, spacious, and clean. Although you have to walk down a chilly hallway to get to it, there's also a nice pool and hot tub (kept at a perfect temperature). We *loved* the breakfast, both the space and the food options. There's a hot bar, but also fruit (and not just the dreaded melon salad) and decent coffee. We had a ton of fun at a bar that's attached to the hotel. On Friday nights, they have a jazz band and the locals come to dance. On Saturday, there's karaoke and dancing. The bar staff is awesome! You could also watch games in the bar; there are a few TVs.

Hotel advertises that they have HBO and ended up not having nor did anyone know why they didn't. Sounds petty, but we specifically picked the hotel for this reason as we were hosting a party. Not only did the employees not know, they offered no kind of appeasement solution.
