Great room, great location, great price!

We were in town for the IMT marathon. For 4 years we stayed at a different hotel, but they were booked solid. So we picked this one instead. We are very glad we did. This hotel was much better and closer to the downtown areas we use. We will be staying here more in the future!

We came for the bike riding and were pleasantly surprised that they’re developing the trails all the way throughout Des Moines. We did three days of bike rides and we think about coming again every year. Those bike trails are the kind of things that would make us wanna live here

Our go to for DSM

Hard to beat this hotel for the location and cost. We've stayed here multiple times, and it's within walking distance to most of the nightlife. Clean, plenty of parking, and the rooms are big.
