Best hotel. The property is very clean and nice, like a newly completed building. Their pool and hot tub were great to relax and enjoy. Their breakfast was wondeful with variety additions like strawberry pancakes, everything bagel etc. There are different restaurants and other amenities nearby. Will definitely stay there again when visiting Des Moines.

The room was larger than expected with refrigerator and microwave. Nice pool and hot tub area. I never had the breakfast but it did smell delicious each morning. Everything was as described plus extras. Go to Zekes for dinner and then play some games at Pin and Pixel or relax with some wine at Cork. Lovely area. Ice skating in winter. Splash Park in Summer.
