Friendly helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, nice breakfast choices and all for a low rate. We travel to Des Moines several times a year and usually stay downtown but I think this will be our new go to place it saves us $100 a night plus its only a 15 minute drive to the downtown area.

Easy check-in, friendly staff, great breakfast options. One of the two treadmills in the fitness center was broken. Loved the size of the room.
