Independent, Central Iowa hotels

"This property was well-maintained and immaculate. The rooms were spotless and the service was excellent. The only issue I encountered was a musty odor in the hallways that gave the building an “old” smell. Overall, however, my stay was excellent and I would gladly return if I’m in the area again."

"Simply the BEST hotel in Des Moines! The staff is INCREDIBLE and we’re SO hospitable to us despite a slight booking error which was quickly and graciously corrected!"

"Everything was perfect at this lovely hotel except I didn’t care for the restaurant food. Just not suited for my tastebuds. "

"I loved it"

"Room was clean and in good condition. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Food was fresh and good quality. Only negative I can give is that the TV is very small. Otherwise excellent!"

"Pool open until midnight"

"The ac in our themed suite had a hard time keeping up. Would have liked a fan to help cool the room better. Or a higher powered ac. Other than that, was very pleased with the room and our stay. "

"Updated, clean, easy to park"

"Everything was good! The rooms are a little dated, but for the price that was to be expected. Our two year old absolutely loved the water park. "
