Hard to beat this hotel for the location and cost. We've stayed here multiple times, and it's within walking distance to most of the nightlife. Clean, plenty of parking, and the rooms are big.

We came for the bike riding and were pleasantly surprised that they’re developing the trails all the way throughout Des Moines. We did three days of bike rides and we think about coming again every year. Those bike trails are the kind of things that would make us wanna live here

Perfect for walking everywhere

Perfect location to walk anywhere you needed. Front staff was extremely helpful. He let us check in early, even when we didn't ask to. We were just asking about how parking worked until we could check in. We loved the large patio area. And everything felt very safe. We will definitely stay here again for an Iowa Cubs game.

Nice front desk staff. Large room. King-size bed was comfortable. Water pressure in the shower was good, although I had to run the water quite a while before it became hot. Having a kitchen was very helpful. I appreciated the full-size refrigerator and the dishes in the cupboards. The TV in the living area would not connect to the Internet so I could not watch Netflix there, but the TV in the bedroom was fine. The breakfast had some really nice choices, more than typical. There were some signs of wear in the hotel room, but nothing that would keep me from staying there again. Great location for walking to downtown events, restaurants, and bars.

Shower has minimal water pressure, faucet was dirty. Bed comfortable, studio room was excellent and great lay-out. Parking cost $20 extra which should be included and was an extra not reported add on. Check in front staff had her face completely white with make-up which I gound odd. When checking out, the staff wanted to swipe my credit card again for " incidental charges" , which I didn't have. I refused and told them I paid in advance for the room, alreay had my card swiped during check in for extra suprise parking fees. Not a good experience this hotel.
