"Great stay. This hotel is a bit out of the way but worth it. Room was nice, extra sink outside the bathroom which is auper convenient when multiple people are getting ready to go. Fitness room is the nicest weve seen at a hotel. There is a nice pool and hot tub as well as a game room. Great breakfast with lots of choices and is constantly monitored and good"

"Very nice, recently renovated classic hotel in the heart of Des Moines. Friendly helpful staff."

"We got there early and was able to check in due to needing to be somewhere at a certain time and needed to kennel our dog that traveled with us we also needed a little longer at check out and was granted that convenience I really appreciate how accommodating they were for my needs "

"My overnight impromptu stay was better than expected. I was in town for a baseball tournament and decided to get a room last minute vs driving home 2hrs just to get back on the road at 6am to drive another 2hrs. Especially after sitting in 85° heat all day. The folks at the check-in were courteous and clear with the hotel procedures and amenities. After being at the hot baseball fields all day all I wanted was cold a/c and a shower. Well, the a/c worked VERY well and the shower was absolutely amazing. The bathroom was clean but showing some wear in the tiles. The towels, tub and toilet were clean. Plenty of warm water that seemed endless thank goodness. The bed sheets and pillows were all clean and the curtains blocked every bit of daylight which helped with sleeping in a little longer after cooking in the sun all day. For our tournaments next year this is where I will stay again. "

"Lobby and rooms are beautiful, restaurant is very good, there is a very cute courtyard as well. The beds are very comfortable, the service is great and there is coffee in the lobby. "

"Nice room, friendly staff."

"The Hotel is absolutely Gorgeous.The staff is extremely friendly and helpful especially Zach at the fro t desk. Have us wonder restaurant options with a free shuttle ride too and back if we didn’t want to walk. We were in town for a concert at Wells Fargo Arena and got a complimentary shuttle saving us an Uber ride. Zach is right Best Martinis in Des Moines ( he dared us to proof him wrong- we couldn’t ) Small Hotel (51 rooms) in Downtown Des Moines is 5 🌟"

"We stayed because a grandson was running in the State Track meet. We had other grandkids - disappointed that 2 of the pools were closed, but enjoyed the one that was open. We happened to leave 3 pillows in Room 270. We stopped back after the track meet - about 5:00 pm and no one could find them. Very disappointed about that!! Still hope they will look into that and try to find them and let us know - we left a phone number."

"They need to turn down the chlorine in the pool"
