I was disappointed. No valet parking. No complementary food or even coffee in the am. And premium priced. I stay in Des Moines a lot but won’t stay there again.

Hotel was nice and clean. However, we could not log on to the hotel's WiFi. We called the front desk from our room but our call was never answered.
