Our room overlooked the river. It was fun to watch the eagles fly over & dive into the little open water there was available on the river. We were a little disappointed the pool & hot tub were not available during our stay.

As you scale the hotel food chain, you generally lose amenities as the price and star rating goes up. This is the best of both worlds. An affordable nightly rate in a hotel that feels luxurious, plus all the amenities you could want. Pool, hot tub, and a complementary breakfast. Not much more to ask for.

Card keys kept messing up but staff was very friendly and on the ball to fix the issue - just minor issues in the daily situation - staff was always there to resolve the issue and didnt have any issues with them during it.

One of our favorite Des Moines stays. We’ve done plenty of hotels in the area, and this one was the best. Great river view, comfortable bed, clean shower and decent sized restroom. Having a fridge and microwave a plus, and the swingable TV.
