Went to Des Moines from Minneapolis on a whim due to our daughter having a few days off from school. We stayed three nights. Overall this was a good stay. The rooms look to be recently renovated. There was plenty of storage in our two queen bed room and a nice place to keep luggage off the ground. I enjoyed the separate coffee bar that also had a fridge and microwave. The bathroom was clean. Breakfast is fairly good. They do offer some hot items, mainly eggs and sausage. They have more items on the weekends. There is a pancake maker, cereal, bread, bagels, muffins, oatmeal and warm cinnamon rolls. The fitness center is well equipped. My daughter enjoyed the pool immensely. It is not huge, but did the job and the pool towels were mostly well stocked. Hot tub is kind of small. Had some interesting experiences with one of the elevators when it became off balance due to kids jumping in it. The doors would only open on the ground floor. Thankfully the issue appears to be fixed. There are several restaurants within walking distance: Ruby Tuesday, Arby’s, Pizza Ranch, Culver’s, the Beerhouse. Overall, this was a nice, affordable stay in the Des Moines area.
