We have stayed here several times for events at the arena and event center. It is super convenient to be able to walk the short distance to both of those locations. Hotel is clean, check in staff was very pleasant and rooms are clean and comfortable

nice enough hotel, great location

This hotel is super convenient if you're attending an event at Wells Fargo Arena or going anywhere in downtown Des Moines. Another perk is the free parking. The hotel itself is rather rundown and likely in need of some renovations. That being said, our room was comfortable and check in and check out were very quick. Our room was mostly clean - just underneath the chairs seemed like hadn't seen a vacuum for a time. I was a little surprised that the Sunday breakfast didn't go later than 9:30, and the staff literally hauled everything away at 9:30 on the dot (I snagged a bagel as they were loading things up!), so just know that in advance if you're wanting breakfast. Overall, though, the location was what was most important for me and this hotel fit the bill.
