Dirty. The vents were covered in dust, dirty toilet, old dirty silverware under the bed. The bed was like sleeping on a brick wall. The bathroom door was falling off the hinges and wouldn’t shut. The toilet paper roll holder was broken and the roll would fall off when we tried to use it.

Property plus rooms have a strange arrangement--not bad just peculiar. Really interesting to find the elevator to the parking garage. Parking at $20.00 per night seems pretty high. Hard to find the front entrance.

Meh

I waited about 10 minutes at the front desk to check in because no one was at the front desk. Another guest even commented "they" were always gone. I tried calling an operator but it still only rang the hotel front desk. The only rooms available were the suites this weekend. There was no hot water, only fluctuations between cold and tepid water.

I will not tell you how much a spent on a room for one night, but for the price it was absolutely not worth it. The ONE reason I booked was for the dual bedrooms and hot tub. The hot tub didn’t work. Front desk said maintenance wasn’t on site and they’d have to leave them a note. Unacceptable for what we paid.

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.
