Tons of stuff up there, and probably the fastest growing area in the Quads.
Not much in the way of breweries up there, but you could always Uber to them and back.

It feels like a 14 minute drive to the Hampton next to the Cinemark in Davenport is better than the 10 minute drive to Element downtown Moline to have access to a few more restaurants (Barrel House, Pints, R Bar, Granit City, Ridge, BW3, Bad Boys, golf simulators).
I assume downtown Moline would be a bit better on weekends, but it felt a bit depressing and I could see Tuesday or Wednesday nights being better off across the river.

I took a new job that will have me staying 1-2 nights a week in town starting January.
Work location will be close to (but not at) John Deere. Initial thoughts would be to stay at the newer Hyatt properties by Bend, but looking for recommendations. Want to be reasonably cost conscious, so maybe will negotiate with the Element if decidedly better.
