Management really should take lesson on how to resolve situation when it comes to what you were told in writing at booking and did not deliver. Very unfriendly and would not recommend at all . Booked through Hotels.com and was told breakfast was included and received confirmation in writing. Would not have stayed for five nights if this was not included. Had many other choices but expected Holiday Inn to be better choice, was very wrong. First room that was given to me was dirty and had to change rooms. No one apologized or even communicated to me. I know that I will never stay in a Holiday Inn again and I travel a lot.

I was not checked out yet. I had taken a load to the convention hall(which was the reason I was there), and when I went back to my room, the cleaning staff was already in there stripping the bed and cleaning the bathroom. I still had belongings in the room!

The staff was amazing. We had rented a hotel on another property and it was rundown so we canceled and came there. They gave us a great room next to the pool. We extended our stay one more night because our flight was canceled if I’m ever in Des Moines area again I will always stay there.

Seemed like the wallpaper in my room 312 , was peeling in the bathroom. I have also come to expect digital scales in the rooms and there were none on this one. My bed and pillow were very comfortable. The room was clean and uh, the view of the courtyard was amazing. The service was great and the bar and billiard's area was fun.

Great place to stay
We absolutely love this hotel, and stay often due to the convenience of the airport across the street, and the shuttle service the hotel provides. Our room this time smelt bad, not your usual get the air going cause it’s musty, but it was funky. Other than this one smelly experience, the hotel is phenomenal, and I would recommend it to anyone!
