We stayed here one night but if you had to stay longer, it is a great hotel. My daughter had a competition in Des Moines and we stayed here, I wish we could have enjoyed the room more! Nice fridge and kitchen area, huge closet and even a good sized table. We do a week long trip to South Bend... More

We recently stayed here for a family gathering in Des Moines. We wanted a reasonably priced hotel that had room to gather and sit in the room. We had a nice two queen room that two comfortable chairs and a nice table with four additional chairs. This place was great for us. It also has a nice small kitchen area... More

Hello there- Thank you for taking the time to write a review for out hotel! Sounds like you had a wonderful experience with us.

This hotel looks new and has very attractive finishes. When we arrived in our room, I was pleasantly surprised to see the full size refrigerator, and large table with four chairs. This is a great location, we walked across the parking lot to Texas Roadhouse and Maid Rite. Quick access from 35W. We didn't go in the pool, it looked... More

The staff here is exceedingly friendly and the place is spotless. That counts for a lot. But compared to other TownPlace properties, the room was tiny. Had a king with a sofabed. Packed into the living area of the room was an ottoman (so you can do your best Dick Van Dyke impersonation) and a desk. All very useful, but... More

King bed, couch and good work space - all looked new. Small bathroom had closet that opened from the bathroom as well as from the entry area - so easy to access hangers, suitcase, from inside or outside the bathroom. Typical high carb breakfast buffet with nice banana nut muffins. Room cleaned well every day.

Had a group of five so chose this hotel. Our room had two separate bedrooms plus a fold out couch. At check in, the front desk person was very friendly / professional. The rooms are not huge but are very efficiently organized, clean, and comfortable. Our room was quiet and the beds very comfortable. The shower and toilet are in... More

First off, this is not a 5-star hotel, but for what it is - a basic services place to stay while in the area for other reasons, this place can't be beat. When we arrived I saw a Volleyball team awaiting check in. We were delayed by the volume of check-ins, but the desk guy immediately directed us to a... More

We returned here because of previous visits and the value for the room size, however the sprinklers go off at 6:15 am and hit the bedroom windows about every 20 seconds, making sleep impossible. Cannot believe we would be the first to notice or complain about this. So avoid first floor if possible. Breakfast are quite limited compared to other... More

We stayed in this hotel as an alternate to the Embassey Suites in Des Moines. This was a much different experience....it was surprisingly very good. The rooms have a kitchenette in them that was great....since we travel with a toddler we always need to have a refrigerator in our room. It was great to have the stove and microwave to... More
