Very comfortable

9.0

The staff was wonderful. Very kind people

I wish the rooms would have had complimentary water bottles since Des Moines has such a high amount of nitrates. Also- no little packages of Q-tips. The one time I don’t pack them.

It was good stay overall

9.0

Location is excellent, great view and access to the river. The facility is clean and comfortable with perks of food on the weekends.

I wish I knew the valet parking charge before the booking

Close to fair grounds

Very leaky roof, ac didn’t work properly in room, car came back from valet wet, and carpet in room was coming apart.
