Set within Des Moines’ Central Business District!
Guests rated the hotel’s actual location excellently! It is in the business district with a wide selection of fast food restaurants, shopping areas, and major highways. Grocery stores and bars also surround the property- all can be reached within a short walking distance away.

First-class room accommodations
Most guests speak well of the luxurious yet comfortable rooms! Rooms were very clean, spacious, and smelled and looked nice and new. The couches or sofa beds provided plus the microwave, mini-fridge, coffee makers, and toiletries were sufficient and were considered above average by guests.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited parking spaces
Guests had issues with the insufficient size or limited parking area on-site. It was quite hard for guests to park within a long walking distance from the lobby. Furthermore, some guests even had to walk a few blocks from a different parking area due to the lack of enough parking spaces on-site.
negative:
Crowded swimming pool facility
Due to the small size of the pool, guests had difficulty enjoying it! Large number of people was occupying the pool area at most times especially the kids. Moreover, adults had a hard time soaking in because of limited pool hours.
negative:
Noise from the pool is very annoying!
Guests who were staying next to the pool area had a hard time getting some rest due to the loud noise from the people running around. Thus, the use of earplugs is highly recommended.
