If you have to travel to Des Moines, this is the best place to stay. I have stayed in a number of different places in Des Moines, but, since I first stayed here two years ago, this is the only place I want to stay. The rooms are nice -- standard Residence Inn rooms -- and the staff, from housekeeping... more

A nice hotel in the center of the action. The building is surrounded by water, resturants and shopping. It is easy for teenagers to walk to their destinations i.e. movies, shopping. For parents, Costco, Best Buy and Walmart are just around the corner. The resturants are Applebees, Cheesecake Factory, Flemings, Joes Crab Shack, On the Border, PF Changs, Panera Bread,... more

This property is quite new and it shows. Everything is quite clean and in tip top condition. I stayed here two nights for business and was impressed by the mix of long term residents and short term guests like myself. Breakfast: Adequate, nothing special but it's included in the price. Evening reception: A bit of a joke. Food offerings are... more

I believe this is the one on Jordan Creek Parkway - that's where we stayed. The retail development around this area has been explosive.

The situation we are in has felt like a nightmare, but our stay so far (16 nights) at the Residence Inn has... more

I have stayed at this hotel 4 times in the last two months and they have consistently provided great service at a reasonable price. The rooms are always nice and clean and the staff are always polite and helpful. The nightly (Mon - Thur) evening social is a great plus (free beer and lite dinner often catered by local restaurants).... more

This is our second stay at this hotel. We were attending the ISU UNI football game that Saturday in Ames and stayed in Des Moines following the football activities. Great location for our group and I love Residence Inn's in general because of the hot breakfast and the spacious rooms for a group to share. This hotel, in particular, is... more

We stay here every August to visit the in-laws. This time, there seemed to be a lapse in quality control. On Monday, housekeeping missed our room. Despite several phone calls and messages to the front desk to correct the oversight, they again skipped our room on Tuesday. When we called down to the front desk to bring fresh towels and... more
