Great Stay for Great Location and Great People!

My brother and I came down for a concert at Wells Fargo Arena, and we knew the hotel would be close, but we underestimated just how close it was! It was awesome! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, gave us a great recommendation for food and drinks (Buzzard Billys, try EVERYTHING) and made sure we had everything to be comfortable. If I ever find myself in Des Moines needing a hotel that is friendly on the wallet and close to the action, I wont look anywhere else!
