"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."

"Our travel plans were ruined and this hotel is the only one I will stay at in Des Moines but the suite with balcony that I always have was full for the weekend. The front desk employee made some changes and was able to give us a river view room. She went above and beyond when we had a very rough day at the airport. The location is PERFECT for the farmers market on Saturday morning, I cant wait for my next visit!"
