This hotel exceeded our expectations! We pulled up and couldn’t believe how nice it was - way better than the pictures. The rooms were huge and clean and the bed was comfy! Room came complimentary with two free drinks a piece and free snacks in the evening. The lobby and bar / breakfast area was beautiful. Definitely will stay there again if we go back to Des Moines
