Liked the four pillows on the bed since we are readers. The decoration was tasteful. The hotel was central to where we wanted to be. Employees we dealt with smiled and quickly checked us in and out. Since we were there only to sleep, we were pleasantly surprised at the lack of noise from the airport, the pipes, and the hallways.

My sister and I were in town for the Des Moines Marathon and really only needed a place to sleep. We choose this hotel bacically because of the price and weren't looking for anything fancy. I was impressed as soon as we entered the lobby...it smelled wonderful and the desk staff were really friendly. My sister was thrilled that there were four pillows on each bed. Even though we were only in our room long enough to sleep and change clothes I will probably stay here the next time I am in Des Moines.
