Kay, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am very pleased to hear that our staff made your stay a pleasant one. We can’t wait to see you again! Sincerely, Barb Adix Assistant General Manager
We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and found it beyond our expectations. The decor is elegant, almost as if we were in Europe. Spacious, sparkling, and comfortable room with a mix of modern and timeless decor. Staff is very approachable and helpful. Parking is right across the street and we could walk to our restaurant. Omelettes made to order for breakfast. Room a little warm at night but we’re so glad we had chosen this hotel for our celebration!

Thought I was staying in AHS5 Hotel- VERY DARK
Location:
Parking is across the street, and I am glad we did not stay more than one night or it would have been a nightmare! LOTS of traffic.
The employees were nice, and the breakfast was fabulous! The hotel is very dark and red though. The theme is a mixture of asian and art deco and is verey confusing.
Room was nice and clean, but all the darkness was intimidating.

Thank you for the open and honest review! We take pride in our staff, and we're thrilled they were helpful. We tend to think of our decor and atmosphere as cozy and warm, so sorry to hear you didn't feel the same. Hope to have you as our guest again,
Pros:
It was beautiful. Very spacious rooms. Great breakfast included! Beautiful lobby with fireplace. Large health club. No complaints!
Location:
Lots of good restaurants within a few blocks. Easy parking. Easy access. Close to sculpture park.
We could not have been happier with our King Deluxe with fireplace. Huge bathroom, large bedroom, living room with fireplace, "kitchenette" alcove. Included breakfast lacked nothing. Delicious!

I'm thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us! We strive to make each stay as memorable as your stay was!
My wife and I had to travel to Des Monies at the spur of the moment and booked this hotel at the last moment. We were pleasantly surprised and ended up staying a couple of days. We enjoyed the facility and the breakfast was excellent.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We strive to ensure each guest has the best experience possible, and glad you enjoyed!
Romantic Feel
Pros:
I liked the ambiance and the complimentary breakfast served until 10 am. There is a chef who will prepare omeletes per order as well.
Cons:
Some of the wallpaper in the hallways was peeling, and the suitcase stand in the room was also a little haggard.
Location:
It's right downtown with easy access to the interstate with plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. Plus, free parking on weekends.
I only stayed for one night at the hotel but it had a lovely, relaxing vibe that was perfect for a last minute getaway. The room had a high ceiling and a fireplace which gave it a lived-in feeling, and the bathroom was spacious with plenty of towels and luxury touches.
