I didn’t feel welcomed. When I checked in all I was asked was for a deposit then handed my room key whereas the couple who checked in after me received a map along with recs and itinerary. Second I didn’t receive housekeeping during my stay. Although I booked for 2 days I still should have received housekeeping. And lastly the person who was on duty for breakfast for 7/4 followed my daughter and I around the kitchen the entire time we made our plates making us both feel so uncomfortable. Yes I am a woman of color as well as my daughter and to say the least we felt discriminated against. Will not be booking here ever again

Always a good place to stay for us when visiting family. Close to groceries, restaurants, and of course, family. Layout makes check-in easy, and the staff have always been courteous. The rooms are all well equipped.

Our room was dirty. The main light in one room didn't work so it was dark and hard to see. Our sinks were chunky in the drain holes and and the faucet. Broken glass in the dishwasher. I came with children who can get glasses, etc and toys wasn't safe. The bedding for the hideabed in the couch wasn't in the rooms. I had to call down, get clothes back on and make the bed late at night. Do better. You're a newer hotel and aren't cheap.

Very friendly staff. Great breakfast. Pictures showed a hot tub, but there was not a hot tub. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel, so was very disappointed.

Stayed at this hotel for 5 days and enjoyed every minute of it. My son had a swim meet in Downtown Des Moines but we opted to stay a little bit further away. Hotel has been in operation since 2018 but we thought it was new— well-maintained and really clean, staff very polite and helpful. Breakfast had a full assortment of hot and cold items. Could have included bacon on one of the days, but totally not an issue. Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in town.

We got this hotel on hotels.com but when we arrived she informed us they didn't have rooms for us and were overbooked. The gal at the hotel was extremely nice about it and did what she could ( contacting hotels.com to cancel our reservation.). My fingers are crossed we get our money back from Hotels.com as we weren't the one to cancel PLUS had to go out and find another hotel room for the night.

After a cancelled flight and a long drive, this hotel was exactly what my wife and I needed. It was clean. It was quiet. The bedding was perfect. 10/10 would recommend.
