GGuest UserPoor lighting, couldn’t figure out how to just turn on 1 light. Bathroom lights to bright to keep light on all night. You should install small night light in bathroom.
Refrigerator too small and u need coffee maker in room
Beds comfortable, bedding cozy, and quiet room.
Thanks for great weekend in Des Moines.

TTravelMommyWe came up to watch a football game at Drake with little kids and had a great stay! The ice cream shop around the corner is NOT to miss! Huge breakfast in the morning. Highly recommend.

GGuest UserNewer facilities, front desk staff service, general restaurant, breakfast, dinner, can go to a restaurant outside to eat, no other choice, good choice for early flight, drop-off service can be less than seven or eight minutes to the airport

GGuest UserThe hotel is convenient, located close to the airport, there is a free transfer to the airport, but it was impossible to sleep in the room because of the neighbors, very poor soundproofing, you could hear literally every rustle, the breakfast is very poor, but for its price it is very good, suitable for spending one night

SSophiaSunNZBooked an early flight and stayed at the hotel the first day. The freshman went home during the winter vacation and just turned 18. The other hotel did not allow check-in. I temporarily changed to this hotel. I called the front desk in advance and confirmed that I could stay at the age of 18. The hotel's pick-up and drop-off service is great, there are a lot of delicious food around the hotel, and you can also order takeaway to the room. The free breakfast was actually served at 3 am, the room was very clean, very close to the airport. This experience was great and will come to live next time.

SSergeyThey couldn’t accept my card and asked take 100$ cash from them ATM WITH 3.5$ charge! I was there only for one night!
