Best Western Plus Longbranch Hotel & Convention Center

Recently our family had a tragic loss and on short notice needed a place for a celebration of life. To my surprise, I had no idea how amazing the Long Branch would be, from the initial consult, planning of food and the room, to the staff that worked the event. Tami was the most professional coordinator I have worked with and really cared about us and making the event planning simple. She even brought in a sign to use when plans for another option fell through. All just out of kindness. Dan was an awesome manager that helped make everything during the event flawless. The food was great and the ball room was perfect. Absolutely no worries which is not always the case when planning any event. I recommend the Long Branch for all your needs. Thanks so much for making this a wonderful experience for me and my daughter despite the circumstance. less

I needed a place to stay while in town for a birthday party nearby. The location was good, not only for the event, but also for the proximity to various shopping venues in the Lindale Mall area. A Starbucks is nearby, as well as the mall itself, along with various smaller, strip-type malls very close by. The property is large, with a restaurant and bar towards the front, as well as a small bar in the general area around the pool, towards the back of the property. Several buildings are included in the complex, and are connected by a skywalk, which is nice in colder weather. There is a gym on the premises, which I believe to be quite sizeable, as it appears to have memberships as well as serve the property. The enclosed pool area is very nice, with a dining and drinking area as well. My room was near the pool, and noisy in the early evening hours, as there were a lot of kids enjoying these amenities. The area closes early enough, though, that it quiets down nicely about 10:00 pm. This building is the furthest from the street, and there are also many rooms in another building between the lobby and pool area. The pool area is where an extensive breakfast is served, both hot and cold items, as part of the room rate. less

Whenever we stay at the Longbranch Best Western in Cedar Rapids, it feels like we are going home. Matter of fact, my wife refers to it that way. The personnel there treat us like family. They make us feel like we are home. less
