This Hotel is Absolutely Amazing. We stay at many hotels every year and this one spoiled us. The room was so spacious, the beds were very very comfortable. The pool was opened till midnight and the water was warm. Breakfast was delicious, great coffee. Jason at the front desk was very curious and kind. We will be back this winter for a family getaway to just stay here.

This is a modern, bright, well maintained hotel with a very nice pool and a gigantic hot tub. The breakfast was one of the better ones I have had. The price for the stay was very reasonable and much cheaper than the hotels closer to Des Moines. A wonderful stay.

Room was small but clean and comfortable, pillows were good, a/c worked well, shampoos and soaps were great. Hot tub and pool were the perfect temperatures. We didn't get to have breakfast due to a power outage at 8am, so that was sad, but all else was fine.
