Loved it, the train people are talking about is really quiet. Very good tracks are laid by this hotel, so you don't notice it. Except for kids that love seeing trains.

The property seems to be getting a little run down (e.g. the toilet paper holder was loose and sagging -- no big deal, but hey). I'd go 4.5 stars, for sure, because a couple facility issues aren't worth a full star, but I can't quite go five stars. Breakfast was phenomenal with regard to choices, amounts, and ease of self service. Bananas were crap, but what can you do. I am not saying a Michelin chef was on site hand-making crepes, but come on -- it's a continental breakfast. And staff was hustling, especially at breakfast, every time I looked. Been here before, and will likely go back!

Residence Inn DT Des Moines a nice stay!
First time I've stayed at this location in DT Des Moines, and was extremely impressed. The only recommendation I have is for easier entrance and exiting the front of the building.
