I came to this hotel with no expectations. I was in Des Moines for a friends wedding and I just needed a room to crash in. The room was descent, clean, nice with a reclining chair. In the morning I was impressed with the continental breakfast. They had a waffle maker, cereal, fresh bagels, one day they had bisquits and... more

After calling Holiday Inns and other usually good hotels, we settled for this one due to arriving after a long day of travel. It is old, dark and has a "dank" smell. I had not checked Trip Advisor!! I think the only way they stay in business is due to the huge gambling casino and horse racing up the street!... more

I had two criteria, a hot tub and a pool. They assured me over the phone that they had both. I specifically asked if the hot tub worked. I was told yes. We check in and are informed that the hot tub is out of order. OK .I can deal with that. We get to our rooms. My sister's is... more

Stayed in Mountain retreat the last time, dirty, dirty, dirty. so this time we got the suite called the Meadows, beautiful room and could be a great room if it were clean.... the room hadn't been vacuumed, dusty everywhere, don't look behind the bed! Bathroom waste basket... more

We stayed in an extended stay room at this motel while visiting family in Des Moines. The weather was frightful with strong winds blowing the snow, creating white-out conditions. Our room was quiet and warm and included a recliner and couch. We did not try the pool. The breakfast was good. Prairie Meadows casino is across the street. more

We had a very nice stay at the Settle Inn. My husband and I stayed there for New Year's Eve. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and spa very much. We will return again and hopefully stay in one of the theme rooms. Thank you Settle Inn for... more

Just needed a place to sleep/crash and was dissapointed. It was convenient & cheap but not clean or sanitary! ($70 - Expedia) Stained lamp shades, dirty, dusty carpet, decaying bathtub/shower, dirty wallpaper, just gross!!! Couldn't sleep because the parking lot lights were so bright it seemed as if the sun was rising all night. My kids wouldn't believe it was... more

The staff really went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The beds are great. The hotel is quiet. The whirlpool is hot and relaxing. The breakfast is yummy. This is an economical place for a family to stay and enjoy. more

Stayed here January 2006. We had a regular double room where we stayed with 2 adults and 2 children. The hotel is designed to resemble a castle and has a knight outside and a few medieval relic items in the lobby. We were disappointed that the regular rooms didn't have any castle-flair. Even the art work was a the same... more
