Was an all around great travel experience. The location is quiet yet very close to many food, drink, and shopping areas. Felt safe as a single woman traveling. Room was very clean and we maintained. Would recommend and stay again.
The young man who checked us in was very accommodating as we had to change rooms. He said he was new and was very patient. He’s doing a great job! Great bed, very roomy. We were on the second floor king room. Tv easy to use. Clean. Great water pressure. Did I mention how clean everything was!
Room was very nice and staff was incredibly helpful and friendly . Breakfast was delicious and always ready early. Would and will stay again next time I’m in Des Moines.
A great place to stay. The location was convenient to the highway, and room was comfortable. My only complaint is that the hotel was apparently understaffed in thhe food service area. One lady was attempting to keep the breakfast area stocked. There were long waits for basics like milk, and many items were out for long periods of time. Otherwise, our stay was perfect.
