The hotel staff were amazing. Everything was perfect. I was visiting Des Moines to watch my grandson in the NJHRF, but I was in a virtual class throughout the day. I felt safe, the breakfast was amazing, and the WiFi fit my needs. I highly recommend Staybridge Suites Downtown Des Moines. I can’t recall the name of the lady at the front desk most of the week, but she was fantastic!
