This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely beautiful historic building with a grand scale and fully updated modern rooms. The design and comfort is impeccable. Large room and bathroom, but not so large that it isn’t cozy. Perfect in my opinion. The onsite dining options are fantastic for world class breakfast lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. And the coffee is amazing. There were a couple of quirks in the room—the sound of trickling water whenever the ac turned...

We love this hotel! We've stayed 2-3 times in the last couple of years. This last time was the best, starting with Michelle, who checked us into the hotel. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just great in representing the hotel. Our room was fantastic, beds were so comfortable even after a full day at Adventureland. The shower had multiple adjustments, and it had these awesome shampoo, conditioner, and body wash pumps on the wall of the shower - they smelled wonderful! The pool/whirlpool...

The room was excellent…clean, spacious, and modern. It was nice to have a little sectional for our family to lounge on instead of always being on the beds. Beds were comfortable…down pillows and comforter. Rooms were nice and quiet! I couldn't ever hear other doors closing or people above us. The breakfast was complimentary and was delicious! My kids loved the French toast! It’s too bad there wasn’t a hot tub but the pool area was nice and warm. The kids swam forever because the water was...

First time staying in a Staybridge. Love it! Only thing I can say is you need better maintenance on your Heater/AC unit filters as it was filthy.

Only thing I would say negatively is the parking lot is a bit strange. Shared/woven together with several buildings around it. Otherwise it was a great place with a nice pool, friendly staff, and an easy breakfast to set you off in the morning.

My family loves this hotel. We try to meet here once a year because the location is convenient for all of my relatives and it offers so many amenities on site and close by. The mall next door along with all of the nice restaurants within walking distance is awesome.
The hotel staff is by far the most accommodating, professional, and courteous group of individuals I have ever had the pleasure to interact with in this type of setting. The hotel rooms and all the common areas are really nice...

The staff was so friendly! This hotel is modern and so clean! Our room is as very nice and the pool was perfect! The water was warm and felt so good after a long day at an amusement park. A grab and go breakfast was provided which included muffins, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, yogurt, oatmeal and fruit. Great morning starter for our family! The ratings for this hotel are spot on, I’d stay at this hotel again!

The room was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and so was the chair and the ottomans. The bathroom was spacious. The double queen room was cramped for my big family but it did a good job for one night. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a joy to stay here

This is a special, cozy hotel with loads of log cabin decor. It was clean and nice with great water pressure and a great bed. The hotel has a small snack store and bar as well as an indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub that were open late. We only stayed one night but it was very nice and close to great restaurants. I'll stay there again for sure next time we are in Des Moines, Iowa.
