"Not the owner fault but the neighbors were slobs. Leave garbage in the hallway, and spilling stuff in the elevator and not cleaning up after themselves. Also the building stunk like pot.The apartment was very nice, but kitchen sink had a smell from not being used enough. Could use kitchen towels and wash clothes. Also could use a bigger fry pan for bacon etc. Overall nice place."

The location was excellent with convenient walking access to Smoky Row Coffee shop (coffee in the morning and ice cream at night....yum!). It was also right off the highway so zipping east to the Harvester Club where our son was working, or west into Des Moines to hit the Jordan Creek Mall was a breeze.Despite the record heat during the week we were there, the two...

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk."
