Great
The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The beds were extremely comfortable with fresh sheets and a nice selection of pillows. I would definitely book a room there again when traveling to Des Moines.

CAUTION!!! Absolutely terrible stay. I brought my family there after a long day at the ball field to find out this hotel was having a car show in the parking lot and around the entire facility. There were people outside of the hotel sitting in lawn chairs thru the entire back and front of the facility. There were half naked girls dancing in the parking lot and an OnlyFans flag waving behind them. There was no place to park, and we had to drive thru all the people sitting alongside the hotel in lawn chairs. Very uncomfortable situation for myself and my family. Would NOT recommend staying at this hotel!!

I STAYED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND THE SERVICE WAS BAD, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY THIS PLACE AGAIN, 2nd CHANCE. AND THEY ARE VERY ORGANIZED AND FRIENDLY. ROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN AND THE BREAKFAST WAS GOOD. THE EGGS DID RUN OUT AND WE WANTED MORE EGGS, BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. I LIKE STAYING NEAR THE AIR PORT, AS MY SON LIVES NEAR BY, SO I GOOD AREA TO STAY.

Room was fine for what we needed. The place smells funny but once we were in our room it was fine. The guy working desk was very helpful when we were having issues with our tv.
