Meh
Pictures appeared nicer than the hotel. Served it's purpose. The guy at the desk was very helpful and courteous. Not any sort of a luxury stay. Place to lay your head in a clean room close to DSM airport.

6/10 Good

Under construction at the time
The place was going under construction when we were there. There was a few issues with the place, but I understood that the place was in transition. We did not experience any issues with our room specifically.
Bradley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Acceptable hotel with potential
The hotel had a lot of potential. However, it felt rundown. The sheets were either stained or dirty. There were huge fans outside the room blowing and drying wet carpet. The AC took hours to cool the room, but once cool it was fine. The breakfast was good and coffee was GREAT.
Donna, 1-night trip

The hotel was clean and had a fun vibe. But it was sooooo noise. People were at the indoor pool until 3 am making an incredible rukus which was not addressed by the staff.
Jeannie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Construction made this property untidy. Rooms were okay but the hallway hadn’t been vacuumed and it looked like construction materials had been transported through it. We had to wipe our feet to not track into the room.
