"Hotel Rating"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I absolutely love this hotel. I don’t stay anywhere else when I come to Des Moines. For the first time, the teen church guests were seriously out of control. The staff did get the kids under control but I didn’t see the kids chaperone in sight. Anyway, love the restaurant and breakfast! Very professional staff everywhere!
