Their breakfast is soooo good! I was really impressed. I thought there might be fruit and bagels, but they had sausage gravy and biscuits, a waffle maker, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, juices, milk, coffee! It was fantastic! Plus the price was great. Total BARGAIN and easy to get everywhere in DesMoines.

Dirty and cheap. You will hear everything through the walls and gap in the door. No hot tub. Food left in refrigerator from who knows when. Floors were dirty. Only reason I didn’t give one star was because the shower was good for washing the grimy feeling off.

We liked the area as its nearby my Uncles house. We have stayed here a few times in the past. It does the job and the places we like to visit are nearby as well. Saves on gas especially if you have a rental car.

The building is dilapidated. The pool has a sign closed for maintenance. The jacuzzi is permanently closed, the room for the pool was very cold. We got a room with a pull out couch. It was broken and un able to be pulled out. The heater/ac unit was very loud. The soundproofing beetween rooms was poor and the upstairs elephants were on parade most of the night. Our key cards were deactivated at 9am and staff were unable to issue us working cards for the remainder of our time. The kids were dissaponted and the adults did not sleep. Overall will not return.
