It would be nice if the parking was not an extra charge

This hotel is kind of a hidden gem. It has its own parking which is great for downtown Des Moines. Staff was courteous and helpful. Room was nice. complimentary breakfast was good. It's an older facility, but well maintained. I especially liked the rate which was $20 less per night than the Marriott's "convention rate" 1 block away! Only drawback was the sidewalk reconstruction in that area of town, but that won't last forever. I'd definitely recommend as an alternative to the Marriott!

It seemed dreary in design and colors. I was totally surprised that that don't make clear you park in a garage across the street at $18.00 a day, I found it later buried on the hotel information. The hotel front desk was the best in customer interactions!

staff was friendly and helpful

Staff was very friendly and attentive. Room was large and clean. Had a great stay!

It was close to everything I needed to do It was in the heart of downtown

The room was spacious elegant clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet which was greatly appreciated!

Good location, friendly staff. Good view from top floor.

No bar or restaurant. Nice rooms and good location, but when I travel by myself I usually prefer a restaurant/bar at the hotel.

Lots of space in the room. Breakfast was out early for kids going to sporting events. Pool was supper small but it was clean and did the trick for our son. Nice hotel. We would stay there again.

Has a indoor pool, pets allowed and nicely located in the heart of downtown Des Moines. Best to pay for valet as it's daily rate is only $2 more than garage self parking. My one complaint is that the shower was not great, it was barely adequate in water pressure, the shower head was old and regulating the temperature of the shower was more intricate than needed early in the morning. It was a like a slight turn here, a little bit more, keep turning...nope, now too hot or too cold. That could have just been the room I was in which is room 416, otherwise is was a nice hotel that allowed pets, even though I didn't see any.

Spacious room, excellent bed, very clean. Wished they provided lotion as it was quite dry.
