Sonesta Essential Des Moines

Sonesta Essential Des Moines

10/10 Excellent
"The check in was so easy and quick. I'm a female solo traveler and the place felt very safe. The parking is a little bit far from the door, but still plenty of space. The rooms were very neat, the shower was great and the breakfast looked good. I love that they left me a water bottle in the room because most places don't do that and it was very helpful for me when I checked in late at night. Overall a great experience."
