We stay here whenever we are in Des Moines, which is once or twice a year. The rooms are basic: Older decor, "window box" AC, nothing fancy, well used. But they are clean, quiet (in terms of outside noise), and the beds are comfy. And they have free wireless internet. There is also Truck/RV parking (with hookups) in the back, and a coin laundry.
The staff is friendly and helpful, never rude. The location is just north-central of Des Moines, just off the Fwy and easy to get to food, shopping, and downtown. There is a great gas/convienence store just across the street, and a great restaurant just behind that. Behind the hotel is a nice walking/riding path that is great for exercise.
We always get a "king suite" which has a sliding door to close off the bed (good for nap time) and a pull-out couch (ok for the kids, but not very comfy).
They have a basic breakfast (cereal, toast, eggos, coffee, OJ)
The indoor pool and hot-tub are large and well-kept, also good for the kids. -

Incredibly friendly staff!!! Customer Service is impeccable. We stay here everytime we are coming through the Des Moines area (2 - 3 times when making the trip back to Kansas City). It is located right off the interstate with plenty of restaurants, shops, and parks very close or within walking distance. The indoor pool is very big and includes a large outdoor patio area - we've had family and friends from the Des Moines area bring their grills over while the kids are playing in the pool.
There is a beautiful walk/bike path that runs behind the hotel and you'll often see police patrol the premise and drive a lap around the parking lot (as they do with all hotels in the area) - and it shows! The hotel is located in a very nice suburb of Des Moines, and I've never had any issues with theft, car damage, or any other illegal mischief.
The breakfast is like any other continental breakfast but maybe a little better than most - they offer a variety of krispy kreme doughnuts, cereal, coffee 24 hours, bagels, french toast, waffles, and an assortment of other things - I wish the only addition I would request is fresh fruit. It is a very well maintained premise at a great price! And free wireless internet is an enormous plus! -

I didn't thoroughly examine the room,however I was most comfortable here that I came back to stay a second time .And would stay in the future.As a person who doesn't use plastic to shop with this was the only hotel accomodating enough,restaurants,coffee shops(starbucks),mall,all within walking distance.Beautiful landscape in back makes you feel like your in your own backyard,the staff were all too friendly.I love this place!
