The front staff gentleman was very nice and helpful. It appears to be an older building but they have tried to make it look very nice. The facilities worked great, ie.. air conditioner, shower, toilet and so on, sheets and towels appeared clean. Overall it just looked like it needed alittle more glue for baseboards and paint touch ups.

Property is dirty on the outside. Trash and cigarette butts all over. Sink would not drain. The requirement of a deposit is ridiculous if it’s not refunded immediately. You didn’t wait for my money but I have to wait for mine?? Also staff who are providing service to guests should speak English.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I booked this property because based on the reviews and pictures on Expedia, it was clean, updated, and safe. I certainly didn’t feel that way when I arrived. 1. There wasn’t anyone at the front desk, the place looked abandoned when I arrived, around noon on Saturday. 2. After receiving my keycard, I requested late checkout, this didn’t seem to be a problem, and the gentleman at the desk entered something into the computer to note my request. 3. Upon arriving in my room, the colors were not at all neutral like the photos, there was construction dust and debris all around, paint splatters throughout the property, including the shower, and bathroom, and the shower had dirt, and smears in it. The bed had black hairs under the covers. 4. Upon arriving back at my room before my late checkout time, I found one of the men who (I assume) works there (because nobody was wearing any sort of uniform or name tag), exiting my room. Why?! I requested late checkout, there was no reason for anyone at all to be in my room. This hotel seems unprofessionally run, unprofessionally renovated, noisy, and overall undesirable. While I am well aware that Des Moines Iowa may not be the ultimate travel destination for luxury accommodations, this property disappointed in so many way, and ultimately felt unsafe, unclean and unkempt. The greatest part, was that it was easy to make it back to the airport, and on Sunday, there was someone at the front desk to drive the shuttle there.

The property is quite rundown. There is no character or personality in the decor of the lounge. The check-in went smoothly, and then we were directed to the elevator, which was down a very long hallway. The premises were not taken care of the vacuuming needed done. The bed was great. The room itself was clean. The TV is very small. The breakfast was fairly good.

I got in to the hotel and I could tell it was very dirty, and when I got into the room it was worse. I demand a refund but they wouldn’t give it to me. I ended up getting a room at a different hotel and am hoping that I can dispute this with Expedia.
