I will not tell you how much a spent on a room for one night, but for the price it was absolutely not worth it. The ONE reason I booked was for the dual bedrooms and hot tub. The hot tub didn’t work. Front desk said maintenance wasn’t on site and they’d have to leave them a note. Unacceptable for what we paid.

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Good! The place was clean! There were a few noticeable repairs needed but nothing that prevented us from doing anything. Pool was HELLA cold. But it was December, so that could’ve been a product of cold coming through big glass windows.

I absolutely loved that the hotel was within walking distance to allot of things to do and places to eat! I enjoy watching trains pass and my room had a front row seat to all of the passing trains! Everything was great……. The only complaint I have is having to wait at least 15 minutes to check out due to the lady not being at the desk and not having a box to drop my room keys. I was worried that I would be late to catch my flight.
