    This hotel is unfortunately one I would never use again.... My friends and I had planned a trip to see basketball we live in the UK. I made a mistake and put in the wrong Arena on Booking.com and this hotel came up. I booked two rooms and when we put in the zip code it was 1,000 miles away!!! I contacted booking.com literally 3 minutes after booking who contacted the hotel on my behalf and they refused to answer me or booking.com. I lost £270.00. Moral of the story they were in their rights to take the money but the fact they ignored both me and booking.com says a lot about the company greed. Enjoy spending my money..

    I lived in Des Moines for 32 years and always enjoy our summer returns for the season of the Des Moines Metro Opera. Farmers Market, Court Avenue, the East Village, the Art Center, the Botanical Garden, all are worth a visit.

    Des Moines is a very nice city, downtown is nice especially the skywalks. Our visit to the capitol grounds for the Des Moines symphony Yankee Doodle Pops event was awesome. We lived there a little over 30 years ago and still have friends that we visit from time to time. We always enjoy our visits.

    Hotel was an easy walk to Civic Center and restaurants.

    Hotel was an easy walk to Civic Center and restaurants. Lots of restaurants nearby to choose from. Went to Court Street Brew Pub - casual and great for a variety of beers. Splash is a nice seafood restaurant - quiet and low key. Parking is pricey whether in the ramp or on the street. Cute shops downtown - nice change from mall shopping. Locally owned! Cooking store, spices, oil and vinegar shop, gift shops. Hotel is historic and recently renovated - nicely done. Room was comfortable and quiet. Staff was pleasant and friendly.

    Des Moines is a thriving metropolitan city with plenty of events and entertainment value. From exciting sporting events to an entertaining amusement park with a fabulous waterpark (better than Oceans of Fun in Kansas City). Exciting nightlife with alot of clubs with live entertainment. Golf Courses, Extreme skating park and many nice parks. If your a bicycler, their trail system is 2nd to none for riding enjoyment. Clean and friendly people. A nice place to visit. If you're lucky enough to be there during the Iowa State Fair, one of the best fairs in the USA!

    Clean, comfortable, modern, quiet. Laundry in the unit was great. Full kitchen. Nice amenities in the apartment complex (fitness room, party-type gathering room, nice lobby, lobby coffee). Free parking behind the building. Walking distance to several nice restaurants, the sculpture garden and the Des Moines library. We had some questions about things and received prompt text replies. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

    It was nice and clean. room was spacious. Beds were comfy. I liked that they had a well-stocked mini store that had snacks and other necessities for travel. The prices were not jacked up either. I bought a burrito, bottle of soda and an ice cream bar for a late dinner because I was too tired to go out and find a restaurant and didn't want to wait to get delivery. It cost me only $5.45 for the snacks.

    We very much enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. Very clean and quiet room. We wish we could have tried the restaurant but our friends were joining us at their hotel and we had breakfast there instead. If we are in Des Moines in the future we would definitely stay at this Hotel again. Yes, it was pricey but worth it. Thank you to the excellent staff.

    In a quiet part of West Des Moines. Even with it so close to the airport, I never once heard an airplane. There is a nice golf course right across the street. My double queen room was spacious, clean and pleasant. The breakfast offered a wide selection of food. I am returning in a week for another week’s stay.
