I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."Reviewed September 13, 2026Roundtrip • Salt Lake City (SLC) - Des Moines (DSM)SLC - DSM • 1 stop DSM - SLC • 1 stop$1,060$954found 12 hours agoper traveler

"Check-in was very good the young woman very helpful and pleasant. The guy in the morning seemed crabby. One of the reasons we chose the hotel was because of the pool but unfortunately was closed our first morning and we needed to get going so couldn’t wait for it to open. Seems like the off hours would be the time for maintenance."
