It still had smoking rooms. And great king size beds.
Ice machines were hard to find.

It was clean. The staff was friendly. I didn't like that ice machines were only on 2 floors. There were no signs stating the location of the ice machines.

Location for basketball games and
restaurant.
Bigger bathroom and an additional sitting chair in the room.

We loved the convenience in traveling to the Iowa State Boys Basketball Tournament. We also had a great time in the restaurant/bar.

Price and Location were my draws to thid hotel.
Driving into and out of the hotel was stressful.

They were a great place for large parties. I always saw hotel staff cleaning and stocking supplies. I was there for a relaxing weekend but 10 busses of teenage girls do not allow for that experience.

The rooms were okay, nice size beds and clean bathrooms.
The staff at the bar area were terribly rude to our entire party.

We stayed at this hotel as we were in Des Moines for a wedding. Upon coming back from the reception a group of us went to the bar area for some drinks and conversation. When I went to the bartender and ordered a drink he refused to make it, gave me a bottle of beer and told me to go to my room and drink it. Another member of the party tried to order a drink and the bartender refused him service. There was another wedding party in the bar who was sitting around the bar. The bartender claimed he called last call and that is why he would not service our party, which would have been fine but he continued to service the other group. Our behavior was not warranted for this by any means. We were sitting in a corner conversing amongst ourselves. ...read more
