The staff was wonderful. Very kind people
I wish the rooms would have had complimentary water bottles since Des Moines has such a high amount of nitrates. Also- no little packages of Q-tips. The one time I don’t pack them.
Location is excellent, great view and access to the river. The facility is clean and comfortable with perks of food on the weekends.
I wish I knew the valet parking charge before the booking
Close to fair grounds
Very leaky roof, ac didn’t work properly in room, car came back from valet wet, and carpet in room was coming apart.
The workers are pleasant
We had been on the road for a while and did not want to travel far from the hotel for food. The inside lounge offered a decent menu, and the ribeye was lovely.
Initially, I was informed of a hold on my card for incidental charges, which would be removed. I was fine with that. We were placed in a room next to the staff service door, which was noisy and caused a lot of commotion for my dog. The room was not cleaned very well. My dog found food, among other things, under the bed and around the room. The room had a funky smell, like it had been smoked in, and they never changed the carpet. Upon checkout, my bill went from $145 at booking to $200, then to $310. I was told all persons are charged a pet fee. ??? When I called to ask about the fee before making a reservation, I was informed there would be a $70 or $75 hold for the dog, which would be refunded once they saw there was no damage, etc. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the hotel, amenities, cleanliness, or staff. They were short and rude. They did not care to ask how the stay was.
