My 2 yr old & I were in town visiting my relatives. The staff was very friendly from the minute I arrived. We were very pleased with the voucher in the diner for breakfast- great service there. I wasn't pressured to leave a tip, but I definitely wanted to. My room was clean & basic, but I wasn't there for... More

While the public areas are clean enough, I would qualify the rooms more as a one star hotel. This is definitely not a family friendly hotel, as it seems few rooms have more than one bed. We booked our room through Priceline, and while I know there are no guarantees on getting 2 beds through priceline, this was the first... More

The staff, rooms, and location will bring me back! I stayed here one night (12 February, 2013) while on a business trip. The hotel has a restaurant and bar (Ankeny Diner) attached, which is always a plus! I had a spacious room with a King Size Bed. I've already booked another reservation for this hotel. You do get a voucher... More

Friendly staff however the whole place needs updating and a good cleaning. I will not stay here again. Room was musky smelling, carpet was dirty, a thick layer of dust along the baseboards, along with dead bugs and cobwebs and cobwebs hanging from the corners. Was going to use the hot tub but pool area was very dirty as well.... More

We traveled to the Des Moines are for the Labor Day weekend with our 2 teenagers, our older daughter and her son so needed a room with 3 beds. I found this hotel and, after checking reviews, booked a triple queen room. The room was HUGE and we weren't crowded in the least. The hotel is easy to get to,... More

Reading the some of the other reviews, I didn't have high hopes but it was close to where we needed to be. We were very pleasantly surprised. It makes me wonder if there is an older section and a remodeled section. Our room was very large, the bed comfortable, clean rooms, friendly staff and good food.

My daughter (age 10) and I stayed there for 3 nights while we went to the zoo and Adventureland. I agree with others that it could be updated a little, but for the price and location it’s decent. I like the attached Ankeny Diner (food was so-so, ice cream was AWESOME!) Breakfast is free which is always a plus while... More

Clean and spacious bedroom. Small but comfy bed, usual room facilities. Shower not the best but functional. Pleasant enough surroundings at the pool and spa. Children under 12 get to stay free of charge so appears a very popular hotel with families which may not suit everyone! Friendly staff throughout the hotel. Good restaurant with a varied menu. Complimentary cooked... More

From looking at outside, I was expecting outdated and dirty room. It was a surprise to us that the room was very clean, bathroom was clean also but not so spacious and the beds were comfortable. The pool was fumed with the smell of chlorine, so, we didn't go. The free breakfast was a coupon with 4 choices and food... More
