The woman working the front desk on 8/26 was absolutely wonderful! She was very nice and so friendly. She was very helpful with things to do in the area and gave recommendations on places to eat. Breakfast was great and the hotel was clean

We have stayed here before because this hotel is right across the street from the concert venue we frequent. As always, the staff was AMAZING and accommodating. It was chaotic busy in Des Moines with the state fair travelers but it was calm and relaxing inside the hotel! We will definitely keep this hotel as our go to place any time we stay in Des Moines.

Perfect property for a stop on a roadtrip. We aren’t looking for anything upscale, but this is always takes care of us very well. Clean, big rooms, new finishes and sheets. All that we could ask for on our way west.

Hidden gem

Very nice extended stay option in the West Des Moines area. Staff was fabulous. Breakfast was very good. Did not access the pool,. The gym was adequate. The room has a comfortable bed and couch, pull out table, great storage, dishwasher, stove top, microwave, and full refrigerator. I would definitely recommend staying there, and will book a return visit in the near future.

This is a newly developed area so not many options for stepping out or grabbing a bite without driving a few minutes…so far. Otherwise, excellent area and hotel was wonderful for what we needed.

Clean and updated. We had trouble getting our television to work in the evening. Front desk came up and we worked it out. The pool area is a lot smaller than it looks on the website - and VERY warm. If you like a hot tub, you'll love it! Breakfast was wonderful - many choices - all good! Overall, nice place to stay.
