1st and Tenders Urbandale is a hotel with an indoor water park that provides a fun getaway for families. The staff, including Vanessa at the front desk, are friendly and helpful, ensuring guests have a pleasant stay. The water park is a hit with kids, with attentive lifeguards to ensure safety. However, there were some cleanliness issues in the rooms, such as missed objects under the bed and crumbs in the leather chair. Some amenities, like the fireplace in the suite, did not function properly. Despite some hiccups, guests appreciated the early check-in granted after initially being told it was not possible. The Tiki Bar and water slides are popular attractions, although guests were disappointed when the large slides were not operational during their stay. Overall, guests found the hotel to be a convenient option for a family weekend getaway, especially for those living nearby in Iowa.
