Great
GGuest UserPoor lighting, couldn’t figure out how to just turn on 1 light. Bathroom lights to bright to keep light on all night. You should install small night light in bathroom.
Refrigerator too small and u need coffee maker in room
Beds comfortable, bedding cozy, and quiet room.
Thanks for great weekend in Des Moines.

HHansookWe stayed here for two nights to drop off my kid at college. The hotel was very close to the airport, yet surprisingly quiet! Also, i was able to deliver some packages to the hotel and pick them up on the way to the college - very very convenient. Their recreation room, the gym and the pool are better than most other hotels we tried. The staff are super friendly.

SSophiaSunNZBooked an early flight and checked into the hotel on the first day. I was a freshman who returned home during the winter vacation. I had just turned 18. Other hotels did not allow me to check in, so I temporarily changed my stay to this hotel. I called the front desk in advance to confirm that people over 18 could check in. The hotel's pick-up and drop-off service is great. There are a lot of delicious food around the hotel, and you can also order takeaway to your room. Free breakfast was actually served at 3 a.m., the room was very clean, and it was very close to the airport. This experience was great and I will stay here next time.
