“Great choice for a week-long stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Knowing that I'd have to be in town for an extended length of time, I sought out a hotel that offered a suite and kitchen. Even though this location was a bit further from my office than others, I was very happy with my choice. The room was very spacious, with a large kitchen, and separate sitting area/bed area. Bathroom was nice and clean.

Check-in was fast, although our attempt to check-in early was denied because the hotel was fully booked. Which was fine, it was worth a try. As a loyalty program member I received a package of Oreos upon check-in ... aren't I special?

The main lobby area was quite large with a fireplace, sofas and various tables/chairs. I was happy to find that in addition to a complimentary breakfast, the hotel also served a complimentary light dinner along with complimentary beer and wine. The dinner menu was on the fridge in the room, so I was able to see ahead of time what was being served. The first night they served a very tasty BBQ chicken pizza. Had I not had plans with colleagues for dinners, I would have utilized the dinner each night of my stay.

Breakfast was also quite good, although it seemed slow to come out at times. The morning we left, although it WAS early, it was still within the breakfast hours and there was very little breakfast available. They could stand to purchase a new toaster, as the one they had took forever.

My co-worker used the pool area and had no complaints.

The location was close to the highway, and not far from a newer mall/shopping area.

Will definitely consider this hotel when returning to Des Moines.

We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay- hopefully next time you'll be able to enjoy the BBQ Chicken Pizza! I am working with my breakfast staff to ensure all breakfast items are stocked at all times during breakfast hours so as not to have any issues that you experienced. We do look forward to seeing you next time you're in the area.

“Terrific place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We were very satisfied with our choice. From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted and told all that was available at the hotel. We were told about the social hour from 5:30 until 7. We enjoyed food and drinks free. There was a delicious hot breakfast for guests! We could not get the printer to work in the lobby and the front desk was more than happy to print it for us. Thanks you for a great night's stay!

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012

We stayed one night. Check in was quick, and I was recognized as a Priority Club member with a snack size bag of Cheeze Its. Everything appeared brand new, common areas, fitness room, dining area, and room furnishings and fixtures were all clean looking and clean smelling. The employee hosting the Social Hour was friendly and informative, the tacos, southwest chicken salad fixings, wine, beer and soft drinks were all a pleasant surprise. The bed was so comfortable, we almost missed the free breakfast. The hotel is challenging to find without a map of the area or a Garmin, it's in an office park, but convenient to shopping, restaurants and a main highway.

“Thanks for such a nice stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

Two of us came to Des Moines for the Iowa State Fair and were able to get a room here with 2 queen beds. Such luxurious mattress to sleep on and if there was any noise, it was muffled by the quiet air conditioning. Nice mirror/sink outside of the toilet/tub area and we appreciated the microwave/refrigerator. We did not use the internet access. Our only request would be to re-surface the tub...had rust markings from old mats...and to put in the rounded shower curtains. We have gotten spoiled by those in other hotels and at home.
The staff was most friendly and helpful amidst a multitude of phone calls from others trying to find a room as they come to the state fair.
The pool and surrounding area was clean and didn't smell of excessive chlorine as so many of them do. Temperature of the water was great for a morning exercise/swim time.
Our favorite area was the wide array of breakfast items and how neatly, professionally it was displayed. The breakfast area as sparkling in metal features and cleanliness. Thank you!
We will be glad to stay there again and to share with others re: our good experience there.

“Good not Great”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012

Stayed one night, in only room available, sadly a smoking room.

Very large room, clean but smelled badly of smoke, nothing to be done about that.
Bed linens didn't smell of smoke so that means they were cleaned regularly.
Turned on the bathroom vent fan and left it on, the smell ok after that.

Only thing out of place, there was some paint peeling in the shower,
but everything else was clean and functional.
