Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University
I really liked how the room was designed for quiet and privacy. The bed was comfortable. Management let me change rooms immediately when there was a dog barking in a room on my floor. I thought the breakfast was about the best hotel breakfast I have ever had. The place was extremely clean.
