"Loved this hotel! From Des Moines but been gone a LONG time and wanted to try a fun new hotel. This place was perfect for my wife and I. Location is perfect, staff were amazing, and the room was really fun. Was a bit worried about some road construction going on during our stay but while we could hear some noise, the blackout curtains and the comfy bed helped us sleep in. We will definitely be coming back here for our DM trips!"
