nice spacious suite room with full-size refrigerator, microwave, kitchen sink, dishwasher (not cooktop), comfortable bed, internet worked fine, excellent breakfast with hot and cold choices. Only one block from the Drake Diner for other tasty meals. Convenient to Drake and downtown with free parking.

Room was spacious and clean. Hot and cold items available on the breakfast bar. Quiet room and within walking distance to a Jimmy John’s and Chinese restaurant. Drake University campus across the street. No classes were in session when I was there. Not sure how busy it gets when the semester begins.

Bathroom lights were annoying. That was my only complaint.

The only feed back i have is that the breakfast wasn't the best. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

I've stayed at this hotel multiple times when I'm in Des Moines. It is close to Drake and to downtown, and I love having a simple suite, with a small kitchen and a sofa in my room. The light in the rooms is very good-- especially important for some one older like me with reduced vision who likes to read in bed. The outdoor parking is free. I've always been greeted with friendliness by the staff. All of this for quite a reasonable price, with a modest breakfast thrown in!

Jennifer • Family Trip

Always so happy with this location. We travel a lot for tennis tournaments and are pretty particular about our hotels. This one is top of my list. Every time we come we have a great experience from check in to check out. Wonderful experience at breakfast where staff overheard me taking about how I was bummed there wasn’t the chicken strips I looked forward to. She made me some just because I had mentioned this! So above and beyond anywhere I have stayed. Thank you!
