The room was large, clean, and well furnished. We were able to get adjoining rooms with our daughter and her kids for a fun time in Des Moines. We arrived on Friday and we were able to park in the lot next to the hotel. It was only about half full and the spaces were large enough. The only difficulty was figuring out what to enter and where to enter it when we entered the lot the first time. Place the room key card against the flat pad. Don't try to put it in the slot like we did the first time. Of course, it would have been better if parking was not an additional $30 per day.

The best characteristic of this hotel is the staff, who are so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast is great. The rooms are comfortable with good closets and very nice mattresses and pillows. A very special thanks to Darcy and Kathy who welcomed me every morning to breakfast. Their kind and cheerful demeanor really helped to start my day well.

It was a really nice hotel, was a little bustling with events going on and staff was friendly. Everything was well and seemingly clean other then a pizza box was left in our mini fridge. We threw it out ourselves. We didn't bother making a fuss or caring much cause we didn't stay in the room other then to sleep and to get ready, but would probably stay again because of the skywalk convenience and nice atmosphere walking through.

The hotel is very nice, clean, and comfortable! The only hang-up we had was that it wasn’t very clear online that there wasn’t free parking. It wasn’t the end of the world, but still frustrating. Staff was very helpful in finding where we can park for a low cost.
