The shower had horrible water pressure with an awful whining sound. The toilet was leaking out the bottom meaning actual waste water was leaking in the bathroom. The TV wouldn’t receive any kid of signal. The lighting quality was god awful for doing make up. When I brought this information to the front desk. The gal working didn’t really care, didn’t offer to pay for the parking or anything. Do NOT stay here!!

I come to Des Moines twice a month for 3 days each of those times. I always make my hotel reservations at least a week ahead of time through hotels.com I'm not sure exactly what had happened but it looks like I accidentally made my reservation for July 3rd through the 5th instead of June 19th through the 21st. When I got to the hotel and he had told me about my mistake I went ahead and booked the room anyways for the 19th to the , I ended up having to pay full price for both the days with no discount applied. I was staying at this more expensive hotel downtown because with hotels.com I had received a free night stay so it was worth staying at a more expensive hotel. I had spoke to front desk clerk about canceling and getting refunded for the July 3rd through the 5th I had told him I booked it through hotels.com he said that shouldn't be an issue on ten home that week and called hotels.com they tried for two days to try to get a hold of the motel to see about canceling my reservation once they did get through to the hotel the hotel refused to cancel my reservation hotels.com was nice enough togive me another free night. ivwill never stay there again, the room was disgusting the floorwas so dirty I had to take a wet towel and actually mop, if you shut off the lights at night you shut off the TV the shower head in the shower would not stay clipped so you had to hold the handle the whole time there was toothpaste on the wall in the bathroom.

Ok

Overnight for a wedding party room was nice everything on the property is pretty much new the parking garage was small and tight and extra $30 a day not impressed with that check in went well but you must have a room key to access parking garage and limited parking to do so was a pain. You must have a room key to get the elevator to move probably good for security but a bit of a pain otherwise room was nice comfortable bed good tv nice bathroom and shower there is a nice bar / restaurant on the property and the surrounding area is interesting
