Independent Des Moines hotels

"The building was very close to the freeway."

"We use the property almost every time that we fly into Des Moines. Nice-sized rooms are quiet despite proximity to the airport. Free airport shuttle makes access easy. Desk staff are pleasant and welcoming and efficient. Hy-Vee grocery store within easy walking makes self-catering easy. The complementary continental breakfast has adequate options. (They now use compostable plates instead of styrofoam. Cutlery is still plastic.) Rooms have adequate storage. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning unit was fairly quiet. There is a Perkins Restaurant next door, but not many other dining options in the immediate area. The motel area is not conveniently served by public transport, so you would need your own wheels to visit local tourist sites or shopping malls. But as a convenient place to sleep after a long international flight, it is great. "

"Very good quality room that was quiet all night long."

"The hotel was well kept, bed was comfortable, and a great continental breakfast before we headed out. We would stay here again if our travels took us this way. "

"Front staff was so nice and fast to check us in. Room was clean and the air conditioning was on when we got there. Will definitely be coming back"

"Check in took a while as no one was around for 5-7 minutes when I arrived. The room was well equipped and comfortable. Bed was comfortable but an extra blanket would have been nice. Room was clean and had microwave and huge refrigerator."

"Really nice historic hotel in downtown. Good value for the price. On a quiet street with not much to walk around and do. Carpet was dingy and stained. Housekeeping showed up once the 3 nights we were there to see if we needed anything. It wasn’t explained to us at check in that we wouldn’t get service unless asked for so wondered where they were all weekend. My daughter thought the front desk person was rude but I just thought he was ok and just disinterested. Overall, I would stay there again."

"This property was incredibly comfortable and convenient for visiting family in the area. I would absolutely stay here again. The pool was even awesome for adults. "

"People were friendly and welcoming. Facilities look in good conditions. "
