The hotel was well kept, bed was comfortable, and a great continental breakfast before we headed out. We would stay here again if our travels took us this way.

What a great find. It is a well appointed hotel with a super friendly and helpful staff. It was a really nice room and very clean. This will be the only place I stay when in the Des Moines area. A nice bonus is that you have four restaurants that you can walk to. A++

The bed was comfortable. It was VERY humid outside, but the AC didn't really eliminate the humidity in the room. It felt cool AND humid inside, which wasn't very comfortable.

The whole place was soooo nice! The staff was beyond wonderful. Loved that the last 30 min of the pool being open was 18+ as there was a ton of kiddos there. Absolutely 0 complaints!
