"I really can't say enough about our 3 night stay at this property. The staff was wonderful - I was travel as a single mom with 3 very small children. The staff always engaged my children and often asked if we needed anything. The property is in great condition - rooms were very clean and spacious. I loved not having carpet which is hard to clean. Smart TV allowed us to have a special movie night, fridge allowed me to store food for lunches. Nice hot shower and bathtub for the kiddos. Pool and hot tub were cozy and there was always an abundance of towels. Breakfast was fine for what we needed - pastries, cereals, waffle maker, juices, eggs, biscuits and gravy, etc. Great location and there was even free live music next door one night. Grocery stores, gas stations, food and beverage options very closeby. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Nicest staff ever and best pool for kids we’ve found on our cross country road trip. Comfortable beds. Nice breakfast with perfectly cooked (real!) eggs. Coffee available til at least noon so there’s a plus. Easy and convenient to get to, lots of parking. Highly recommend. "

"This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely beautiful historic building with a grand scale and fully updated modern rooms. The design and comfort is impeccable. Large room and bathroom, but not so large that it isn’t cozy. Perfect in my opinion. The onsite dining options are fantastic for world class breakfast lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. And the coffee is amazing. There were a couple of quirks in the room—the sound of trickling water whenever the ac turned off and an incomprehensible bathroom thermostat—but nothing that would deter me from happily staying here again.

"Nice large quiet room"

"This is a great place to stay if you’re in Ames. We found the room to be large, furniture and bed was comfortable. It’s very quiet and other guests were very pleasant. They have a unique shower head and provide directions-which are helpful. Parking is close to the entrance. "

"Always such a beautiful place to stay!"

"Clean comfortable room in every aspect. Great pillows and a great shower!"

" Easily accessible from Fleur Drive. "

"Easy Check-In, relatively clean room, consistent housekeeping. Area nearby wasn't the prettiest but a short walk from downtown Des Moines. Parking lot was under construction and inconvenient"
