    In town for business so I was here for a week and it was so nice! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, The rooms and hotel was very clean! The bed was super comfy and the best part of my room was the shampoo, conditioner and body wash... I know that sounds crazy how would that be such a game changer - allow me to explain. Visiting as many hotels that I do having those tiny little bottles of mystery shampoo/conditioner/body wash always runs out, breaks out or drys the ISH out of my skin so I have taken to bring my own HOWEVER this place has full size bottles of Tea Tree products!!! Game changer! First of all if you know anything about the products you'll totally understand my excitement but also what a great environmental change this hotel has taken. Think of the amount of tiny bottles of plastic that end up in land fills or the ocean and this location is making one positive step to improve that - even just Little!! The hotel had a great little cafe, business center, gym, guest laundry and even a pool and a super cute courtyard - I truly enjoyed this hotel so much and fully plan to return when I'm back in town!! The only thing I could complain about is the lack of outlets in the rooms. There were two on each side of the bed and the lamp has two but they were all plugs no usb chargers and for most of us that have an iPad, iPhones (work and personal), computer, headset charger etc etc having a few more would be the cherry on the sundae!!

    Stylishly furnished bedroom.

    Fine place to stay for the night when passing through Des Moines. It was clean, safe, and accessible to stores/restaurants.

    ***1st message sent to hotel text service the night we checked in:…read more We left right after we checked in to our room. We just got back to our room for the evening. The room smells very bad like mildew. When we got undressed to go to bed, we noticed the floor feels damp/wet & gross. ***2nd message sent to the text service the next morning after I talked to the lady at the front desk: Even when your head of cleaning walked in, she said: "whoa!" As soon as she smelled the room right when we opened the door. I guess this is your way of fixing the wet nasty floor for guests?!?! At least she was sympathetic, because she knows no one should've been assigned this room; and brought us blankets so we wouldn't have to walk on a completely wet floor. Also; when we got back last night, the air was on the coldest setting, I put the temp all the way up to 75, it's still only 66 degrees in the room... so that's broken also! We definitely should not be paying for this crappy room. I am not happy at all. The night person shouldn't have ignored my texts. The person at the desk this morning, offered to put in a work order, that totally wouldn't help our situation this morning... very nonchalant and didn't care. When I started explaining our situation, she replied "oh yeah..." so she knows we had a problem and texted, but she said sometimes they don't do a good job at replying to texts at night. This is not good customer service at all. When I checked out, I re-explained my situation to another male at the front desk. He said he'd give my info to the manager when she gets in about a refund. I waited a whole week. No one had contacted me and no refund was refunded! Worse experience in a very long time!!! A. Taylor Omaha, Ne

The lobby was beautiful, with plenty of places to sit and a coffee making machine that could make you lattes, mochas and even hot chocolate, which I utilized multiple times. The pool was clean and brightly lit and honestly beautiful. The rooms were clean and had that extra blanket and pillow in the closet that you always hope is there when you want to feel extra cozy. This Best Western is clearly run by hospitable, welcoming people who know what they're doing. The only critique I have is that the elevator buttons seemed a little old, but they were still working properly. I felt well taken care of, cozy and comfortable, and all at a reasonable price. I would stay there again for sure. I can't wait to have another hot chocolate by their fireside in the lobby. Keep it up, you guys! I had such an amazing time. We'll be back!

It seemed to be a VERY personal call in my opinion and perhaps maybe too personal to be making at work, especially where patrons can hear you and particularly when your personal call keeps your patrons waiting to check in for several minutes. After he finally told the person on the other end that he had to go because he had customers, the rest of the process went smoothly. We liked the location and the room was comfortable. The morning breakfast was good, with a good variety and comfortable dining area. This will definitely be the hotel we use for future visits to Des Moines.

    Opening in 2011, this hotel is from what I like to call Springhill's weaker period, this hotel has…read moresince been renovated to match the current brand standard, and while they pulled it off better than most, there were still a couple of things they missed, but nothing too bad. Exterior/Parking/Curb Appeal/Location: The outside of the hotel was not really changed from the renovation, but it still looks quite nice and is well kept, even from a distance. The parking lot is in good shape and well lit, though while plenty of doors are present, the key reader on one is broken. The location is also convenient with several restaurants and convenience stores nearby, as well as easy interstate access. The wonderful Jordan Creek is only a couple of minutes away too. Interior Common Areas: The lobby was nice, as were the business and fitness centers, I did not check out the pool. The free breakfast was pretty solid, though the lack of waffles was somewhat disappointing. The hallways and elevator were kept clean throughout my stay. Staff: Everyone I interacted with was very nice, no complaints here. The Room: -Security: They weirdly didn't upgrade to RFID, but the magnetic lock and deadbolt, as well as the latch lock all worked. The biggest issue here was the lack of a fire map in the room. -Cleanliness: Everything was about as clean as the housekeepers could've gotten it, but the carpet was in need of a deep cleaning. Also, the bathroom floor had some set in stains on it that looked like footprints. -Overall Layout: Upon entering the room, you'll find a spacious living room with a comfy sofa, a large desk, a chest of drawers, a TV, and a wet bar area. It housed a mini fridge, microwave, ice bucket, coffee supplies, and cups. This part of the room was well lit and lacked issues. Moving on is a sink with good space and a well lit mirror, and the rest of the bathroom right across from it. It was spacious for how it was laid out and had a nice tub shower and toilet, though the lack of lotion was disappointing. Beyond this were two queen beds, more drawers, outlets, USB ports, a TV, and closet. Again, this was clean, but a little bit more worn than the rest of the room. The HVAC and view was fine. Summary: This is a nice hotel, though the minor maintenance, security, and cleanliness issues are concerning enough for me to take a star away.

    Stayed at this hotel for a weekend while in town for a basketball tournament…read more Checking in was super easy. The reception area was bright and inviting. But once you leave that area and go down the hallway to the rooms, it's a different feel. The hallways are dark. Our room was fine. We got a two queen bed room which also had a pull out coach. It was spacious for us. The room itself needed lots of updates. The wallpaper was starting to peel, the bedroom half of the room was very dark, random light switch that didn't turn anything on or off. Plus sides - person at reception was very friendly both evenings. And location is great! Would I stay there again? It depends. If there was another hotel in the same area around the same price, I'd probably try the other hotel. If this was a lot less expensive, then I'd be okay staying here again.

The room and breakfast…read morewere fine, but there are a few things I definitely take issue with and the last one is extremely important to me: 1) They said they only have housekeeping refresh the room every 3rd day. When did this start happening. Isn't it standard hotel procedure to refresh the room daily? 2) They slid my invoice under the room door very early in the morning (it was there when I woke up at 5:45am) on checkout day. I am not a fan of having my personal information slid under a door. All it takes is a tiny bit of human error and then someone has bits a pieces of my personal info and certainly enough to start charging items to the room. And my biggest issue of all ... 3) The "fitness center" is a complete joke and cannot be referred to as a fitness center. I don't expect very much out of hotel fitness centers, but this was a storage closet with 2 ellipticals, 2 treadmills and a dumbbell rack squeezed into a room the size of a closet. There wasn't even enough space to get down and do some push ups or sit ups. It's a complete slap in the face to anyone who books there and wants to get in a workout. I actually had to go seek out a gym in the area, and pay them, in order to get my workout in when I should have been able to do that at the hotel since they advertise a "fitness center." If working out is a priority to you, completely avoid this hotel.

First and foremost when you check in, you get a free drink and they respect the Yelp check in though they don't seem know it exists. They're are plentiful amount of rooms. The rooms are big. They are also eco friendly. Awesome showers! The best part is the breakfast they feature is amazing. They don't have those light, bare bones course meals here. Great drink options too with breakfast ! The highlight is that it's got an amazing pool and hot tub! Sure they got a gym too but it's a large pool, hot tub area! I'll make sure I'll come here more often!
