We stayed one night while traveling through Des Moines. The staff was friendly and very responsive to our questions. The room and bed were very comfortable. The pool looks great, although we didn’t use it. We did use the small fitness center. It has one treadmill, a stationary bike, and some free weights. Great value for price. We will stay here again on our return trip.

The staff was very helpful. We stayed here two different times and had minor issues each stay. The staff responded and fixed the issue very quickly. This is an older property, however it is clean and comfortable. We didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment about that. There is a small fitness room with a treadmill and exercise bike. The pool looked really nice. We would stay here again if in the area.

Overall, the room and amenities were great. My only complaint is the scattered pile of fingernail clippings on the floor between the two beds. Pretty gross. It obviously was not vacuumed.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not clean, it was very neglected. There was a chicken wing under the bed, hair in the shower, cheerios under the bed, the pool had all sorts of floaties on top of the water, it appeared a food salad was dropped in the walking area of the pool and left for someone to clean. Very shady people walking in the hallways. I do not recommend anyone to stay here.

This hotel is right next to the interstate, so was very noisy. The breakfast options were very limited and coffee looked more like water than coffee - I ended up just taking an apple and going to a restaurant. But there was plenty of parking and the heater worked fine. It could’ve been worse, but I wouldn’t choose to stay there again.
