This was our stop for a one night stay in DesMoines. The hotel and the furnishings are a little dated and show some wear, but everything was very clean and cared for. Upon check in you are given a ticket for a complimentary beer or glass of wine in the lobby for happy hour. Or you may use your ticket... More

The room was huge and clean and looked out to the gigantic pool. The bathroom had an extra large vanity for all your travel stuff. The beds were comfy. There was a fridge, but our room was missing the micro. We were passing through very late and they gave us an exceptional rate. Furnishings just a little outdated but still... More

Great bathroom setup! Long counter, good water pressure. Bed a little tired. Parking adequate. Staff great. Next to good restaurant, close to freeway. Not my first choice, but adequate in all ways. We were there because of an event that had made the reservations for us. This is not our first choice for Des Moines (we like being downtown), but... More

We received a coupon for a free drink. Was also free appetizers Mon-Thur. The one thing needed is Micro-Wave in room. This hotel has alot... More

My daughter used the fold out "chair" to sleep on and I kid you now, there was what liike like a basketball-sized blood stain on the underside of... More

We stayed here the night on our way to Minnesota. We stayed at the hotel next door once before because of the Living History Farm. I picked this one this time because of the restaurant next door we could just walk to. We could have walked from the other one also but since it was about 32 degrees outside this... More

I wanted to give this hotel a 5 rating, but a couple of issues kept me from doing that. First, upon walking into the poolside room (indoor pool), I noticed the room smelled just like the pool area. It's not a strong smell, but kind of men's locker room-ey. Also, it was very cold outside, and the temperature in the... More

We have stayed at this hotel a few times but simply out of convenience. The annual Living History Farms race each November makes this the obvious choice since you don't have to deal with traffic if you are participating in the day's events. Normally, we use points for the stay, but this time we needed to pay for our room.... More

We were visiting for a family baptism in Ankeny, Iowa. Hotel was above expectations considering the price. We will definitely look at staying there again. Breakfast in the morning was good and a real plus was room service from next door at the Machine Shed. I have spent more for a lot less. We were poolside and had no problems... More
