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

Staff was very attentive to all of our needs and even went out of their way for some extras. Amenities were excellent, free breakfast and complimentary drinks! No doors on shower makes for a watery mess.
3-night trip

4/10

The room was in disrepair. Mold on the ceilings, paint peeling and cobwebs in multiple places. The milk was spoiled on the breakfast buffet, the food was flavorless and the guy at the omelette station was rude. The bartender on Friday night swelled like he hadn’t showered in a week, there were no snacks left at 6:30 for the cocktail hour - just an overall bad experience!
