Everything was great but the true value of this property is the staff! Bill and Marcus were amazing. Everyone at the front desk was super friendly. Location is ideal and the hotel looks and feels brand new. Breakfast was very complete with a lot of variety.

The exterior of the building appears to be in disrepair with exposed installation. My daughters wanted to swim in the pool and it was disgusting. You couldn't see past the second stair going down. She took a step in and had a black mark around her leg where she stepped in. Other than that the room was clean, breakfast was good, and staff were helpful.

Just like many hotels, there were a few items that needed some minor maintenance...nothing serious. A loose door card reader and shower faucet. Everything was clean and in good working order. The staff very extremely helpful and professional. The breakfast had a lot of options.

There was a lot of boys in the pool under age that was not supervised. They were running and slipping all over the place we thought maybe they would get hurt.

Eris at the front desk was so helpful! However the property itself seems rundown. The wallpaper seems to be peeling and furniture appeared dirty. Our bed was nicely made and fresh but I had to clean the light switch as it was visibly dirty. The hotel could use a refresh.

The service and amenities here are 200% awesome. The only reason for a less than 5 star review is the bathroom needs some maintenance. Otherwise this hotel is perfect.

We definitely will stay here again! The hotel is in a nice location downtown. The room was clean and well lit. The bedding was comfortable and the breakfast was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only negative was that the room was a little humid. We couldn't seem to get the humidity out of the air. It wasn't uncomfortable enough to complain, but we would probably ask about it next time.

The hotel was everything a person could ask for: very helpful staff and a clean environment. The only thing I can say, which the hotel cannot help, is that the walls are so thin. You can hear other doors opening and closing across the hallway. The people above us were very loud on our first night, but the second night was nice and quiet. I would stay at a Holiday Inn in the future.

The Holiday Inn served breakfast and had a small pool. The rooms were okay. The heating and cooling was not working. You couldn’t get even a fan setting to work. Temperature in the room made it difficult to sleep.

Nice clean room however the pool was closed for maintenance and the power went off to the hotel for two hours meaning that there was no breakfast when we got up and no real alternatives. I think for $160 a night pre tax in Des Moines with no hint at comping anything , loke even a free beverage that Holiday inn express could do better

Gym Room and Training Areas: was reasonable. It could have been excellent with additional equipment available such as Pulley system or Rack Mounted Pulley system.

Breakfast: breakfast hours of services were flexible for not early risers. Future improvement could include more menue with lots of fruits. Instant cofee makers were top of notch. I hope to see this again.

This was our last stop on the way from Denver to Chicago. The room was generously sized, and very clean. Parking was convenient and seemed secure. There was an internet issue while we were there, so it was unreliable, but at least signs were posted everywhere to let us know when we checked in. Pool was also out of commission, but again, lots of signage let us know. Breakfast was good.

I was disappointed that the pool and hot tub were closed. We were not informed of this until we checked in. It would have been nice to offer a discount/partial refund. The reason I booked this hotel was too keep two kids in my family occupied with the pool while another kid in my family was at the skate park all day for a competition. I definitely would not have paid this much for a hotel without a pool/hot tub. I was pretty sore after driving all day to get here from another state, which was another reason for me booking a hotel with a hot tub. My hotel reservation through expedia was fully paid for and non-refundable, so I was stuck with it. Overall, we were disappointed. This was the first time in a couple of years that I've stayed at a Holiday Inn and I will probably avoid them going forward and stick to Marriott.

Overall the hotel wasn't bad. Our room definitely needing some uplift. The ceiling was discolored in places along with the walls. Shower faucet was about broken away from the wall and needed more caulking. The hand soap was also empty in the room, and other amenities in the shower were almost empty. If you just need an overnight stay it's not too bad.
