    Hotels.com Guest Rating
    TripAdvisor Traveller Rating
    The only thing I found was the long hike from the motel room area to the locations to dine. The other negative was the noise of other guests at 2:30 in... the morning as they returned from the casino. However, one has to expect this possibility at a casino hotel. by a Hotels.com guest on 04/14/13

    This hotel is a year old. It has modern decor and immaculate. It is attached to the casino. The only bummer part was that our 20 year old daughter couldn't go I. The casino. So we had to make an extra stop for her to have breakfast at a reasonable rate. We ate made to order eggs, sausage, and breakfast potatoes at the little cafe in the casino level […] for cheaper and better than you can get at Mc Donalds. Read more

    I would highly recommend this hotel. It was more comfortable than I thought it would be and very clean. The bar is nice and the restaurant had a nice selection on the menu, I had breakfast and lunch and both were excellent. We had a non smoking room and there was no evidence of it having been a smoking room. Of course it is a short walk into the casino […] without ever leaving the building. Read more

    This hotel is great...literally a 4 star hotel without Room Service..Will stay here on every visit to the Des Moines area...I believe they are also going to add 180 rooms, and modernize the rest of the casino.A great property, and benefit to the community.Welcome Rewards, however, has been a pain in the butt. I guess I have to plan on calling every […] time I book a hotel to make sure that the credits are posted to my account. This is the 5th time I have had to do this in the last 9 months. Read more
