My friend and I were in town for a concert and the hotel was not too far from where the concert was being held. The room was very spacious and we didn’t have any issues checking in. Would definitely stay here again.

A great experience. Gina was wonderful! Our room had a leak in the ceiling, and they upgraded us at no cost. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking is a bit tight, but it works. The small fitness facility looked nice and the pool as well. Onsite laundry was a big help. Short drive to shopping and restaurants. I could do without the kids and teens, but it is across from the college but I'm not a kid person. all in all, great experience and highly recommended.

The only complaint we have is the set up for the light switches. Why not just use normal light switches… Would make it much simpler and easier.

Room was spacious and clean. Pool was quite green and cloudy so we did not use it. Would have loved to have had a space to put toiletries in the shower as well as a place to rest my foot for shaving. There were 3 plates sitting on a table outside the elevator that were there when we checked in and still there when we check out 2 days later.

I changed my stay and came to the hotel on Thursday, May 30 to cancel and I was informed an email would come to me. I was informed of the stay next door. Yet, I was charged. one night, which they said I should have canceled with you, but I was having app issues the whole time in Des Moines due to the Network outage. All I could do was call or come to the facility.

Very large room
We were visiting Drake Law School and wanted a close place. The outside of the building was non assuming and a bit confusing as it didn’t look like a typical hotel. The room was huge and it was a pleasant surprise for sure !
