Property plus rooms have a strange arrangement--not bad just peculiar. Really interesting to find the elevator to the parking garage. Parking at $20.00 per night seems pretty high. Hard to find the front entrance.

Our stay was good. The rooms are clean and spacious. The only problem was the shower. Couldn’t shower first day because of no hot water. It was ice cold. The next day the shower started out hot then turned ice cold. Not fun experience trying to get shampoo and conditioner out with ice cold water then water turned scalding hot. Showers/ water requires attention.

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.

Hannah

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff when I checked in was great and the woman running the breakfast went above and beyond! However, the evening staff were a bit rude about helping with internet connection. The elevator stopped working. The room was wheelchair accessible, but the plastic lip dividing the hallway and entryway and the kitchen and living room area was incredibly difficult to get a wheelchair over. The elevator was also tough to get a wheelchair in and out of. I selected this hotel for its breakfast (still amazing), its pool, location, and kitchenette. I was not happy with the evening staff or dirty room. There were not enough pillows for the pull out couch bed. I felt like the price was not equal to the value.

Dirty. The vents were covered in dust, dirty toilet, old dirty silverware under the bed. The bed was like sleeping on a brick wall. The bathroom door was falling off the hinges and wouldn’t shut. The toilet paper roll holder was broken and the roll would fall off when we tried to use it.

I waited about 10 minutes at the front desk to check in because no one was at the front desk. Another guest even commented "they" were always gone. I tried calling an operator but it still only rang the hotel front desk. The only rooms available were the suites this weekend. There was no hot water, only fluctuations between cold and tepid water.

Not sure what the issue was.. not worth the cost

The hot tub jets did not work. The shower knob was loose and did not keep the temp correct… tried booking out, but no one was at the desk , called the number no one answered. Parking garage did not give bar code… was charged multiple time for parking?? Called service number and auto phone call kept hanging up.

Good! The place was clean! There were a few noticeable repairs needed but nothing that prevented us from doing anything. Pool was HELLA cold. But it was December, so that could’ve been a product of cold coming through big glass windows.
