Besutiful and unexpected find in Des Moines

We stopped after a long day on the road. The hotel was recently beautifully refurbished, the bartender was friendly, and the beds were luxurious. Breakfast coffee and croissant the next morning was just the right touch. And parking was right out the front door. Definitely will make a point of stopping on our way through in the future.

The room was rather much smaller than expected for the price per night. The window cell was damaged prior. The elevator to the skywalk was out service and inconvenient.
