Ellston Vacations from $449

The room was nice. Staff was very pleasant.

As always an excellent choice. Our room was gorgeous. Breakfast was fantastic. Christmas get away was better because of this hotel.

Clean, quiet, and breakfast was prob 7/10.

The hotel room was clean. The staff was friendly and super helpful. The breakfast was standard. We are organic food, alternative milk kind of eaters, so we understand that our preference is hard to accommodate. The pool and gym was older and they connected into people's rooms, which was different. They had games in the lobby and a fire pit which was nice. I think for the 80$ a night price, its a fare deal.

Our stay in downtown Des Moines was for an entire week. This Kasa rental worked very well for us. It was nice having the extra things like kitchen, laundry, living room, game room, etc. that you don't get staying in a hotel. Our room was located in a noisy spot. We heard the garage doors open and close often. We were also awakened by the garage pickup. Still, it was a good value and great location for us.
