Best part of this hotel was that they are dog friendly and don’t charge you through the wall to have them there. Was a perfect spot just outside of Des Moines so we didn’t have to pay city prices. Left too early to try out the breakfast but overall it was great. Some construction/painting projects were happening so the cleanliness score was low, but nothing too inconvenient

It was a decent hotel; but our room was very humid/damp which gave it an odor and was uncomfortable to sleep. The overall property was okay, places to sit outside and had restaurants and gas station near by which was nice.
