Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University
"Parking lot is small, makes it hard to park a big truck, not a big deal though. One of the elevators didn’t work though so it made it hard when it came to checking out as I had to make multiple trips and the doors didn’t open on the correct elevator unless someone was coming down in it"
