We enjoyed our stay for my daughter’s birthday with friends. Yes, the property is outdated. But, it’s clean, service is great, and great amenities. Would come back.

Nice location, accommodations just ok
This hotel is in a great area of Des Moines with access to so many restaurants and bars just a quick walk away. We have stayed here several times and will probably continue to but it is desperately in need of an update. Also whoever cleans this place doesn’t do a good job at all. Every single corner of edge is dusty, dirty, full of crumbs. The walls are never wiped down at the edges, the corners of the bathroom floors and shower/tubs are not clean at all. We use the pull out bed and when we pulled cushions off the couch were pretty gross. I also hate that they only provide double beds. This is a personal preference but it really makes our nights less comfortable. Bar is decent for a quick drink in the evenings.Breakfast is the best hotel breakfast simply because of the made to order omelettes. Overall it’s an ok spot, I wouldn’t a premium for it though as it wouldn’t be worth it at all.

Property is very dated. Lots of sub par decorations, dirty tile, phones with no cords, old sagging beds, non-working water features. Staff was great. It was an ok experience, but, expected more from this brand.

2/10 Poor

Nightmare booking
Worst experience ever attempting to book a hotel. I put in an online booking through Hotels.com. I discovered I had entered some incorrect dates. I called Hotels.com and they told me I should contact the Hotel to fix it. I called the Hotel and the girl I spoke to said, "No problem, we'll take care of it". I thanked her profusely. The next day I received an email listing my stay incorrectly. I called the Hotel back and discovered only one room had been updated, the other had been canceled and I was charged for a no-show! A rude woman claiming to be working at the front desk (that I could barely understand) belittled me and argued with me. I was so frustrated with her, that I asked to speak to her manager and she left and then returned, pretending to be management. By then I was so upset, I raised my voice and she began yelling at me! I ended up canceling both bookings and I will never stay at this hotel again. Pleased I found a new place in time for my event.

The temperature of the room was a bit warm and we couldn't get it lower, so we didn't sleep well. Also we were disappointed to find that the shampoo and conditioner bottles in the shower were empty. Also the pool water didn't smell great and made our swimming suits stink which made the room stink.
