Friendly helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, nice breakfast choices and all for a low rate. We travel to Des Moines several times a year and usually stay downtown but I think this will be our new go to place it saves us $100 a night plus its only a 15 minute drive to the downtown area.

We enjoyed our stay, we were there for three nights. It was conveniently located for our needs. The rooms and property were very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with a nice bathroom. We enjoyed the commons area. It was bright with plenty of seating. We used this area to play cards at night and for the complementary breakfast. The breakfast was adequate. Two complaints. First, the air conditioning was loud and not effective. Our room was freezing but very humid. It had a clammy feeling and our towels didn’t completely dry. The WiFi was rarely working, therefore we could not use Netflix.
