We've been staying here since our son moved to Des Moines after college 6 years ago. We LOVE the location downtow. It's very walkable. Walnut Creek Church is across the street, so we visit every time we're in town. The suites, service, and all the amenities are wonderful.

This hotel seems to have a lot of sketchy people staying long term. Many seem homeless. Take it for what it's worth I would not stay here again. Needs updating and much better attention to detail. Very safe, however. and comfortable beds.
