i was put in a handicap room because of some bird show here in des moines . the lights on the right side of the room didn"t work and the only heater was on the left side of the room so it didnt heat very well. there was no hot water in the bathroom sink and the shower leaks water all over the floor. staff are friendly tho and at least I was offered breakfast early due to having to go to work but I think that was due to the many people that were there.I stayed here alot this month due to the cold weather and believe I should have gotten a small discount

This was a great hotel. It was very quiet...they stress that, but being next to an amusement park, I'm sure there are a lot of families, etc. The room was great; clean and the heater/ac worked well.

Staff during the evening shift asked us for a $200 “just in case” charge when we had checked in, that much seemed absurd to me, I knew hotels did that but every time it has never been nearly as much. When my sister in law checked in, she didn’t get charged. Also it took several phone calls in order to get my second reservation cancelled, the next morning I called and the lady that answered was a sweetheart and fixed the problem right away. All in under 5 minutes, when the night before it took me 2 hours and nothing had been fixed. Whoever that lady in the AM shift was, you were great!

Attention to detail packs a bit. Light bulbs out, half the bed lights didn’t come on, paint on the walls didn’t match or wasnt properly blended. Overall stay was ok.

Family friendly and affordable. Its walking distance to Adventureland. Their breakfast bar was wonderful. We usually struggle with breakfasts hotels because of our picky eaters. Our kids enjoyed making their own yogurt parfait and ate every last drop. Our room was CLEAN, modern and spacious. We enjoyed our view to the park from our room. We plan on going back & have already raved our stay to the staff before leaving and letting our friends know about this BW.
