Although they were booked, I didn’t hear anyone else in the hotel. Our room was spacious and we had booked for 6 but only ended up bringing 5. Most hotels don’t have that option and you have to purchase 2 rooms. We usually stay at Airb&b’s but we weren’t going to do anything but sleep because our day was busy. We checked in at 11pm. Fast check in and had breakfast in the morning around 9.

I really enjoyed the clean modern look and feel of the room. I felt safe and comfortable. Breakfast options were great. The hallways had an unpleasant smell both days and the elliptical machine was super squeaky.

Great hotel

We stay in Des Moines often for doctor visits, this may be our favorite! The breakfast was very good with a nice variety. The pool is clean and spacious. My son loves the hot tub. Great location, not too busy, near food and shopping.

The bed wasn't comfortable and the pillows inside the pillow cases were obviously old (yellowed). Room was a bit noisy and a strange configuration. Just wasn't quite as good overall as I expected.
