I stay in West Des Moines frequently with my family. I prefer to have a full kitchen for convenience with my kids. The staff here were so friendly and by far the best experience we've had compared to other hotels. This would be 5 stars across the board with the exception of our room was quite dated and needed many updates (broken tiles in bathtub surround, ceiling was just bad and needed to be scraped and redone, patching on the walls and the kitchen was in need of an update) I was a little disappointed that our room did not have the little bar with seating, but we made it work. We had a suite with 2 queen beds. Breakfast was good, staff was excellent. It was very clean. A few updates to this hotel and it will be my first choice!
-Also, They are in the process of renovating the lobby and hot tub. Pool was open, but also needed a bit of work.
