We were in town for a dance competition and this location was great for access to Wells, IA events center, HyVee Hall, etc. Apartments was clean and spacious. Great views. (May want to bring ear plugs with helicopter/life lights landing close by).

The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Location was great, but noise was pretty bad. Checking in was much too complicated.
Great space with wondeful view and convenient to get to east or west sides of Des Moines! See the state capitol building and the art museum while there. Another beside lamp, a bath mat, another pair of salad/sandwich sized plates would be good additions. Had no idea this was a college campus building before getting there; that was mildly confusing for me, lol

Would Stay Again!
Great space with wondeful view and convenient to get to east or west sides of Des Moines! See the state capitol building and the art museum while there. Another regular lamp and a small desk lamp, a bath mat, another pair of salad/sandwich sized plates needed. Had no idea this was a college campus building before getting there, and that was mildly confusing- would have been good to know ahead of time.
