Very nice hotel in a convenient location for a developing suburb. Could have been a bit cleaner. TV out of order upon arrival but quickly addressed although the TV was rehung a little crooked after reset. Shower was a bit weak, normal for all newer properties, but
bathroom sink and vanity were very tall. Odd, I'm average height, 5'9\" and I had to stand on toes to reach everything. For wife, 4'11\", almost unusable. Breakfast was hot and fresh, decent selection, but same both days. Out of state car parked next to mine during the night was found to have 2 people sleeping in it. When reported to staff, no action taken. A decent hotel and I would consider staying again to see if anomalies have been addressed.

The hotel was nice, the room was clean. The pool was NOT heated and was freezing. We had family from in town come to the hotel to visit while we were there, the staff was very huffy about us being in the lobby/ breakfast area. They do not have a meeting/ conference room we could use.
Breakfast was ok.

Check in was a breeze, and the staff were more than understanding with a family emergency we had going on. Abbie, at the front desk, went above and beyond to help us and make us feel comfortable.

The rooms have been remodeled and are clean. The beds were soft and i was comfortable, but some in my party prefered the harder couch. We brought my mom's service dog and she enjoyed the ample green areas in front and behind the hotel. We felt safe walking her up and down the sidewalk that extended for miles. The overall security of the hotel made us feel safe.

The breakfast was good with hot and cold options. We did not have time to enjoy the pool or gym, but could see others taking advantage of those amenities.

The final bonus was the free washer and dryers. We were able to have fresh laundry in our suitcases which was a plus!

I will definitely go back!

This is the place to stay when in town for a concert. We always come back and are always greeted with top notch service. I cannot say enough good things! LaSalle and the general manager ( sorry I don’t see the name on the name tag). You both deserve a bonus for the wonderful welcoming service you provide! We will be back for the next concert! Until then ROCK ON!

We have stayed here before because this hotel is right across the street from the concert venue we frequent. As always, the staff was AMAZING and accommodating. It was chaotic busy in Des Moines with the state fair travelers but it was calm and relaxing inside the hotel! We will definitely keep this hotel as our go to place any time we stay in Des Moines.

Great hotel and suites just outside of Des Moines proper. Hotel was very clean, easy to get into. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is directly next to a new Hyvee gas station that has a great coffee shop attached to it. Highly recommend.

Very nice extended stay option in the West Des Moines area. Staff was fabulous. Breakfast was very good. Did not access the pool,. The gym was adequate. The room has a comfortable bed and couch, pull out table, great storage, dishwasher, stove top, microwave, and full refrigerator. I would definitely recommend staying there, and will book a return visit in the near future.

Unimpressive followup on a significant problem

We had a 2 night stay. A colony of ants descended upon our room Saturday morning, attracted by a ziplog bag near the window containing a tube of toothpaste. They quickly spread to the bed and other locations in the room.

We reported this immediately and the clerk at the front desk took pictures, apologizing profusely.

The hotel was able to get another room for us, with just one bed, for our second night, We were visiting family in town so the kids were able to bunk with their cousins. We were happy to be able to continue with our plans. Since our new room was currently occupied we packed everything up and stashed it in the car for the day, inspecting everything and shaking it out in the parking lot.

Imagine my surprise when we returned later in the day and it was explained to me that the manager, who never spoke to me, had inspected the room only to find no ants, and instructed the young man at the front desk to ask me if it was at all possible that we had somehow brought them along with us? Hundreds of ants. That we had presumably somehow packed up again and removed from the room?

Um, ok. I said that was not possible at all, and was then reassured that the manager would be \"following up\" with me on Monday to discuss the issue. I had planned to suggest calling their pest control service.

It's Wednesday now and I've had no contact from the hotel.

I did however get prompted to leave a review about my experience, so here it is.

Good and bad but the good outweighs.

Everything was good minus a few things. We had a kitchen but no actuap pans. Just frying pans. We only had 1 spoon. Luckily that didn't matter. The handle had to be held down to flush. Unfortunately my son clogged the toilet because of that. They did have a plunger at the front desk. For what we needed it worked. The breakfast was good. I would recommend staying there.
