Our go to for DSM

Hard to beat this hotel for the location and cost. We've stayed here multiple times, and it's within walking distance to most of the nightlife. Clean, plenty of parking, and the rooms are big.

Perfect for walking everywhere

Perfect location to walk anywhere you needed. Front staff was extremely helpful. He let us check in early, even when we didn't ask to. We were just asking about how parking worked until we could check in. We loved the large patio area. And everything felt very safe. We will definitely stay here again for an Iowa Cubs game.

Would have been great but it wasn’t

Did not inform guests that there would be no hot water. Chose this hotel for comfort and didn’t get it. Will say the front desk folks are kind and friendly.
