Wry nice facility with good breakfast and very friendly staff. Cleaning done every other day. Very clean room. Two small issues, very low flows shower head, and no ice machines on premises. Lots nearby in restaurants, convenience store, and shopping
CINDY
Great stay
Our room was on the 4th floor, towards the back, so it was quiet and restful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The front desk personnel, Spencer and Alba were helpful. We had to ask for towels for the pool area, and my husband was short with Alba, but she was still professional and pleasant. (Sorry, Alba!) Later we asked for milk to go with some dessert that we brought back, and she was helpful then as well. I would stay here again.
Elizabeth

Watch for “incidentals”
Our credit card was swiped at check in and the girl explained it was just for incidentals. Then we got our credit card bill and received a $75 charge for a pet fee. I feel we should have been told they were going to charge us a pet fee at check in. There was no mention of this.
Jessica
everything was okay
Jamie
Quick stop but great
Jason
Great place
We were there for the State Track meet. Great location with bars and restaurants wishing walking distance. Only a 15 minutes drive to Drake Stadium. Hotel is clean, very well maintained, and a great value for the price. Just FYI there are no ice machines, but they have complementary bags of ice that you can grab at any time in the snack area. We will definitely stay here again next year.
Brian
One of my favorite places to stay in West Des Moines. Outdoor hot tub is nice.

Michael
Friendly staff, clean facilities, good location.
Bryan
The element is in a pretty good location if you want to do some shopping at the mall nearby or if you need to run to Walmart or Target quick it’s all in a central location. Plenty of options to choose from for eats around this location. Pretty easy to get to from the interstate. They have a small indoor pool that was family friendly. The hot tub was outside next to the pool area in case you are wondering. The king bed suite we booked was decent and clean. The breakfast was great, the food was fresh, the kitchen staff were very friendly and professional, and plenty of sitting in the eating area or in the nice lounge area. My family and I would definitely stay here again.
Normita
Great experience. Love the rooms.
Jane
We loved location. Well kept rooms and property. Staff was very friendly and helpful
Lisa
We always enjoy our stay at Element. Our go to when staying overnight in Des Moines!
Vikki
Great location. Great price and a Nice room. Nice lobby area for hanging out with the group and a wonderful breakfast.
Scott
Great place to relax.
Michele
The hotel is good. The breakfast is just ok. Why do hotels steam their scrambled eggs? They’ve got a cook right there they should remove that and their precooked turkey sausage. Otherwise good hotel.
Todd
Clean and quiet. Within walking distance of several places we like to go for entertainment.
Travis
Family Trip
We thought the stay was very good. The hotel was clean and check in was easy. Breakfast wasn't great but still adequate. We did like the exercise room.

Robert

Leah
Everything was great except the sink drain seemed clogged.
Morris
I don’t do reviews
Ashli
The facilities were nice. The atmosphere was unique. Plentiful free breakfast included. Many convenient eating or shopping places within a reasonable (walkable) distance. I wish we couldn't hear the neighbors next to us with a locked adjoining door, but that's not too unexpected for a hotel.
Brandon
it can get loud if your room faces the Wellmans bar
Meredith
Property itself was fine. Housekeeping kept knock long ever hour starting at 8:30 am waking us up even though checkout was noon. It ruined our stay.
John
Great hotel for a family.
Henry
Front desk was very helpful.
Sarah

Verified traveler
Excellent stay!
We had an excellent stay at Element! The hotel was clean, beds comfy and spacious, and customer service was great. We love the outdoor hot tub when it was a cool night. There are also many chairs, tables, and fire tables in the courtyard that would be nice to use when it is warmer out. Staff were courteous and friendly and breakfast was very good.
Andy
Staff was friendly! Hotel was clean and had a great breakfast selection.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was fabulous. This was our first time to stay for our girls shopping trip and we will definitely be staying there again.

Thomas
Easy access off I-35. Lively but loud sports bar across the street.

Overall a great property
But there was a musty sewer smell in the room and the water pressure in the shower was a little lacking

randy
If you like big city its ok- very loud and noisy in and around
Carrie
Love this property and have stayed during the week before for work. We stayed two nights on Fri/Sat nights and the nighttime noise outside was horrid from 9pm-1am. Luckily we traveled with our sound machine but still heard it. This is not the hotels fault but something I’ve never experienced.
David
The front desk staff was exemplary, as were the breakfast servers. The breakfast choices were plentiful; I appreciated that. I was unused to the magnets for the “do not disturb” option; another guest pointed it out to me. The cleaning seemed to be random.
Cathy
Rooms were very clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again.
Verified traveler
Our shower door was pretty much not attached to the wall, as well as some dirty towels.
Paris
Very nice hotel and breakfast we would definitely come back to stay longer! The outdoor hot tub looked really nice. The location was nice to be on the outskirts of the city!
Judith
This property was bright, clean, and in a great location! Just what we needed as a road trip stop over. Breakfast was excellent and staff was super friendly. Huge value for the price paid. Highly recommend!
Debi
Great property! Clean, helpful staff, big rooms.
Vanesa
Everything was except I wanted to hangout with a fire pit but there was no staff with the knowledge on how to turn it on.
Amanda
Beautiful property. Very quiet and clean.
Justin
Really nice hotel! We enjoyed out stay. Only downside was the small pool - We travel with kids who like to swim and I like to swim laps
Patricia
Loved our time in West Des Moines, and at the Element!
Pete
The staff was friendly and quick, the establishment was clean. The pool was inoperable due to children putting toilet paper in the pool. The hot tub was open so that was enjoyable. I asked for a late checkout and they were kind to extend my checkout by 1 hour. Overall I enjoyed my stay.
Amanda
We really enjoyed our stay at the Element hotel.
Scott
Absolutely loved this hotel! A wonderful, cozy yet modern feel. Very clean and quiet! Loved the gym, the hot tub and pool area. Breakfast was also great!
Elouisa
Great property but does have limited parking! Only downfall.
Jody Critchlow
Upgrade upon arrival as king room wasn’t available. Nice clean, quiet hotel nearby my daughter’s graduate school.
Beth
Lovely stay, appreciate the hospitality.
Stephanie
Amazing
Lee
This was just okay. The hallway had a terrible odor. The restaurant next door was playing loud music until after midnight. Breakfast was disappointing.
Richard
Thermostat battery died. No parking. Shower door and bathroom door won't stay shut. Way too expensive for this property.
Haley
I would definitely stay here again. The room was nice and the beds were very comfortable
Ryan
The biggest problem my family had was that we arrived to the hotel and was told they over booked and they would give us our money back and told us to find a room somewhere else. We were then told that we could not get money from them because we ordered through Expedia and we needed to contact Expedia. The management felt that telling us to basically go on our way without any compensation or attempt to rectify the problem. Actually, the manager refused to come out and talk to us about the situation. When the desk help returned, they had a lower priced room available. However when we checked out, the manager was need to tell me the exact price of my room. Apparently I will be contacted in a couple days. I’ve never had such a situation when traveling. I will never stay at this hotel again.
DAVID
Easy check in process. Friendly staff with a big smile provided great service. Rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended place to stay.

Lee
It was very quiet and close to where our family lives.
Michael
Our room was large, very comfortable and very clean. The staff was congenial and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The fruit covered pancakes were excellent. The hotel and great park g facilities. This is a perfect venue for families with children, and other travelers seeking similar amenities.
Jessica
Huge shout out to the staff - super friendly, super helpful, willing to go above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with our stay! … even though we ended up being there the same night as a super wild group of elementary-aged baseball players who were running wild like banshees.
