Clean, close to restaurants, comfortable beds, good staff.
Clean and comfortable, fresh coffee and hot tea available 24/7. Heated pool. Breakfast available until 10 on weekends, 9 weekdays: waffle maker, bagels, muffins, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, sausage and biscuits, orange and apple juice, whole apples.
We stopped on our way to somewhere else. It was fine for that purpose. It was pretty basic, but very clean.
The location would have been great if we were staying during the Iowa State Fair. Unfortunately, we were there for an event held downtown Des Moines. The room was very plain, but clean. The most notable signs of age/wear were the torn shower curtain and screw holes in the top of the chest of drawers where a previous TV had been fastened. Room temperature was easily regulated. The breakfast was good, though there were not enough tables for the size of the facility.
We stayed two nights. We walked into the lobby and there was dog poop all over the lobby floor. There was no one at the desk. We had to wait for someone to show up. The room was okay but the hallways were very cold. The first night we got little sleep because there was someone running around and jumping in the room over us until 2:30AM. There was also someone who played their TV very loudy all night long. I called the front desk to report both of these but nothing was done about it. The second night there were a bunch of drunk guys yelling in the hallway at 4 AM. I called and they did come up and ask them to quite down. They didn't until about 5AM. Not much help. Good luck with your night's sleep if you go to this hotel.
the bed sqeeked so loud you cant sleep on them the light bulbs were burnt out in our room as well as the pool area
