No hot water in room and Michael was an extremely rude staff member, it was unbelievable how rude and inconsiderate he was! He ruined our entire experience and I will never return because of him.

    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..

    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!

    I booked and paid for the hotel room, but could not find an Uber, taxi, shuttle or bus to pick me up from fairground campsite of RAGBRAI and transport me to hotel the night of my reservation. It was VERY frustrating. The hotel itself had no shuttle, so I could not get to hotel for the night. I then tried to cancel reservation and get a refund, but the cancellation policy says I must cancel more than 24 hours of paying. I did not discover the lack of transport until i arrived by bike late in the afternoon of the day I booked hotel room.

    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.

    The location is prime for an early flight out of Des Moines airport. The woman at the front desk was very helpful, especially with a good nearby restaurant recommendation. Parking is ample and they do offer an early morning breakfast. (I was walking out at 4:45 a.m. and they already had it set up.) We will stay here again in the future when flying out of Des Moines.

    We loved the location as it was within walking distance to the Iowa Cubs game we were attending, as well as the river walk and bars/restaurants. The fireworks both nights, provided by the Iowa Cubs, were fantastic and we had the perfect view from our balcony. We also loved the view of the river from our balcony.

    It was a quirky house. The owner was a nice person who had worked hard to try to make people feel wellcome. He offered a taxi service to and from the airport. Recommend you do that if you don't hire a car. Rooms were large, clean, comfortable. If you needed breakfast let the host know. Reasonable price.
