Rooms are comfortable and large space. Great location for us on the west side of Des Moines. Breakfast was ok but I wish it was more updated with a selection of meat instead of just sausage gravy for biscuits.

First time staying here, really really enjoyed it. The vibes were great, felt extremely cozy and welcoming. Great breakfast options. We stayed in one of the rooms with a hot tub - very comfortable, but the property should have some kind of an instruction book for it, it sounded like we weren’t the first ones to have to call the front desk for help. Highly recommend.
