This is the place to stay when in town for a concert. We always come back and are always greeted with top notch service. I cannot say enough good things! LaSalle and the general manager ( sorry I don’t see the name on the name tag). You both deserve a bonus for the wonderful welcoming service you provide! We will be back for the next concert! Until then ROCK ON!

Great location, very clean, friendly staff.

Great hotel and suites just outside of Des Moines proper. Hotel was very clean, easy to get into. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is directly next to a new Hyvee gas station that has a great coffee shop attached to it. Highly recommend.

We have stayed here before because this hotel is right across the street from the concert venue we frequent. As always, the staff was AMAZING and accommodating. It was chaotic busy in Des Moines with the state fair travelers but it was calm and relaxing inside the hotel! We will definitely keep this hotel as our go to place any time we stay in Des Moines.

Perfect property for a stop on a roadtrip. We aren’t looking for anything upscale, but this is always takes care of us very well. Clean, big rooms, new finishes and sheets. All that we could ask for on our way west.
