We enjoyed our stay here. We were in town for a baseball game so we didn’t use the room for more than sleeping, but it was very nice and quiet. I would definitely recommend 10/10!

Our room was so noisy it was as if we were sleeping on the highway. When we stay in Des Moines we will stay elsewhere next time.

This property needs a total renovation. The room and furniture were nice enough, but the bathroom is outdated. The toilet would run on and off during the night. The AC unit was VERY loud. The parking deck was CLOSED, and the temporary/alternate parking was further from the building. This was very inconvenient. The overall experience felt like a rip off for the price paid.

Stay was great minus the fack that their primary parking spots were not open.
Had to use the back lot for parking. Then, we walked through the empty blocked off primary lot to get to the door.
The staff were kind and the pool area was clean.
