Pros: Our room was comfortable & clean. The breakfast had a decent amount of variety.

Cons: The pool was scheduled to be adults only from 10-11, but this was clearly not enforced, as there were kids splashing around in both the pool & hot tub at 10:55 BOTH nights. We lost electricity for a few hours one morning which would have been troublesome if we had an important meeting to be at. The fire alarms also went off at one point. The hotel was smoke free, but there were smokers hanging out within 2 feet of the door pretty much at all times, at all hotel entrances.

Pros: even though this is not a 4 star or a 5 star hotel the staff from day one went above and beyond to make me and my guest feel comfortable. on days that we really did not want to get going early in the morning it was nice to just lounge around there at the hotel and then in the afternoon go sightseeing. the front desk lady by the name of Lindsey was fantastic. she was awesome and really caring we actually became friends while I was staying there.

Pros: Not available

Cons: The front desk guy could have told us the steak house located behind hotel needed reservations. Told of an hour wait, we found another place to eat .

Pros: Rooms neat very accommodating and the staff was friendly polite and funny too. I will continue to stay there every time I visit.

Pros: Nice location. Very clean. Hotel offered take out breakfast bags with fruit, water, muffin, and yogurt, due to covid restrictions regarding serving food. Coffee and tea were available and appreciated.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Clean and comfortablek

Cons: The AC Unit not working properly.

Cons: Online it stated that breakfast was included but failed to mention that it was only with an additional cost.

Cons: Breakfast was ok, the sheets seemed to barely fit on the bed.

Pros: Close to airport

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was phenomenal! When I told them I didn't get much sleep because of the noise, they moved my room right away!

Cons: The first night it was very loud..

Cons: The pillows on the bed were of very poor quality. Pillows can be better

Pros: Exceptionally cleaned!

Cons: Need improvement on the coffee maker in the room. The coffee was ok, but would be better with a Kurig maker.

Cons: My room was right across from the ice machine and it was very loud. I would put a door on the ice machine area and put a more sound proof door on the those rooms

Pros: Great value for a clean, comfortable room. It's not the nicest hotel, but they have thought of the essentials. The hotel is right by the airport, which was great for our early departure. Otherwise, it's about 15-20 minutes to get into the downtown area but the drive is easy.

Cons: Everything was pretty nice. If I had to comment on one thing, the room appeared updated but the bathroom was a bit dated. It was still clean and functional, but cramped for my wife and I.

Pros: Staff was rude. I felt like I was discriminated against.

Cons: The rude staff

Pros: food could be a lot better!!

Cons: no good food

Pros: Clean and in a great location with city view.

Cons: Parking. They don’t tell you that you have to pay $26 for a valet in order to park. We even asked if it was on the website and they said no. Very misleading. They then changed our room without us knowing. I was expecting a king room and when I walked in, there were 2 beds. When I called the front desk, they said they ran out of king rooms and moved us to a higher floor and technically that was an upgrade. Yeah, I don’t think so. They didn’t even tell us at check in. We just had to be surprised and the lady didn’t seem to care. In the actual room, the walls are paper thin. The beds seemed comfortable at first, but I’ve stayed in better for cheaper. The pillows sink in as well so you have to use at least 3 to get comfortable. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Pros: Location and quality of the facility

Cons: Nothing,

Pros: We liked how modern the rooms were and the smart TVs. We also enjoyed the little bar and restaurants.

Cons: You have to pay for WiFi unless you are a member and no free breakfast.

Pros: I keep staying here and it's like my home base in Des Moines

Pros: Friendly helpful staff ready to provide assistance and guidance. Found the location in close proximity to the the airport and interstate. Dining was not the best in the vicinity of the hotel (not the hotels fault) but found the hotel's restaurant especially the breakfast to be exceptional. The breakfast wait staff were among the best I've experienced at a hotel restaurant.

Cons: The suites could use an upgrade/redecoration.

Pros: Great location. Comfortable beds. Beautiful property. Friendly staff.

Cons: That I couldn't stay longer....

Pros: Spacious room with the fireplace a comfortable bed a large immaculate bathroom and nice amenities

Cons: Location is a bit far from walkable restaurants and nightlife. The television in my room did not work and although the staff did everything they could to help make it work it just would not. Limited room service options. Late night dining not available

Cons: Break fast, parking

Pros: Beautiful rooms Fireplace Chef at breakfast to make omelette and waffles to order Great breakfast selection Parking garage across the street

Cons: Mistakes in room service meal

Pros: Warm, European feel

Cons: Cold fries with room service meal

Pros: location to downtown activities were great.

Cons: Rude Manager that would not honor an email I received that confirmed a sleeper sofa. We were up charged for a roll a way bed. The staff was not knowledgeable about downtown events or directions.

Pros: The location is amazing and great views of the capital. Room was very clean. Great price

Cons: You have to pay for parking or pay for a meter there’s no free parking. The hotel is outdated a little, carpets seem old.

Pros: It was a very nice stay we enjoyed the clean comfortable room and bed, friendly staff. We will stay there again.

Cons: We do understand that in this times you are not able to serve a big and great breakfast. We are totally ok with a grab and go, but it would be nice if there would be jam or similar items not only butter and cream cheese for the bagels. And also maybe prepacked muffins or other items.

Pros: Clean safe and very classy

Pros: Breakfast was great

Cons: Booked a "river view" balcony room. When we arrived, we were told they were all occupied and our reservation was not honored. This is the whole reason I picked this hotel over the others.

Pros: I just spent the one night, but everything was nice and clean. Also the view of the river was great. I would stay here again.

Pros: The hotel was beautiful and in a great location, my room also had a great view!

Pros: New so spotless, but located close to train tracks. And the trains come through overnight. We were there in February, and our fourth-floor room was overly warm. Had to turn on A/C! Our double room was smallish, but had a great river view. Staff is best feature -- courteous, solicitous and friendly. I called later about an item we left behind. They located it and helped arrange to ship it back to us. I would stay again.

Pros: Everything about this hotel was fantastic! New construction and facilities made for a great stay. The staff was respectful and accommodating in every possible fashion. Thrilled to have been able to stay here and be so close to downtown Des Moines for the Des Moines marathon! If I come back to downtown Des Moines for a weekend getaway this will be where I stay.

Pros: No breakfast, good location

Cons: Noproblems

Cons: 10/10 would shower there again

Pros: Excellent customer service

Cons: banging from the pipe heat system

Pros: 1. It was clean.

Cons: 1. Rooms where not ready an hour after check-in. 2.T.v. didn't work correctly. Would come on and off and was advised by front desk to try to keep plugging and unplugging the tv. 3. Heater in room sounded like it was about to go out. 4. Guy at check out was unprofessional. Would as a question and then cut you off to look at his phone.

Pros: Room was lovely.

Cons: Advertisement on booking.com said they served breakfast but they did not. We booked knowing a blizzard was coming so would have chosen some other place if we knew that. Internet not included which wasn’t as big a deal but surprising in this day and age. Felt it was overpriced for not having breakfast and internet.

Pros: Didn’t know about breakfast

Cons: Tv didn’t work on living room. Light and outlets in bedroom didn’t work. No shuttle

Pros: We had a minor room cleanliness issue however it was handled very kindly and professionally by Michael Vance.

Cons: Only wish would be that they had refrigerators in the room - great hotel otherwise!

Pros: Staff was nice.

Cons: The pictures are misleading on the website. Our hotel room was small. The heating units were from the 1980's at least and ran loud. There was no fridge as indicated on the website. We didn't have an ice bucket, cups or coffee. The hotel felt generally worn down. We thought we were getting a great rate, but paid more than what the room was worth.

Pros: Location & price

Cons: Food and staff

Pros: Good location, friendly staff, prompt housekeeping.

Cons: No swimming pool, there was one advertised. Oddly shaped and non ergonomic room layout.

Pros: Being close to downtown is always a good option. We've stayed here multiple times and it's never been a bad experience.

Cons: The soap dispensers weren't filled up.

Pros: It's literally 3 minutes from everything downtown. It's a quaint hotel and the prices are super reasonable for the location and size.

Cons: There were a few places on the walls where the paint could have been touched up. I'm also not a fan of the soap dispensers in the shower. Just a personal preference, and I usually bring my own.

Pros: Very clean. Newly remolded.

Cons: Wifi password wasn't posted anywhere, went and asked for it and it was a bunch of numbers and I went back to my room and typed it in and it was wrong... no shampoo or conditioner in shower.

Pros: Don't be discouraged by the dingy looking exterior- it was a very nice room for the price! Nice shower, plenty of outlets, amenities such as shampoo, conditioner and soap, with clean towels. Cable TV and comfortable chair. Exceptional customer service.

Cons: Uncomfortable bed and rough feeling sheets. Close to the road, so plenty of noise from trucks. Some ants in parts of room.

Pros: Newly refurbished

Cons: I had food that needed a refrigerator and the room did not have one. No microwave either. I got bug bites on my foot.

Pros: USB and electric plugs by the bed for conveniently charging your phones and laptops. Clean and has a nice bathroom with great water pressure.

Pros: Surprisingly nice and comfortable for the price. TV, Wifi, etc. Room as clean and as big as you'd need it to be. Pretty close to downtown Des Moines. Staff was nice, but I didn't have any problems to test them with. Would stay again.

Cons: Outside of the motel and the sign makes it look very cheap and crummy (fortunately it is just a ruse and it's nice inside). Shower head was a little weird to me, (has high enough pressure but spray is pretty narrow, and I had to duck a bit).

Pros: Our stay here was great. The room was very clean and the staff stayed up late to check us in. It reminded me of a Hilton, but with much better value.

Pros: Close to airport.

Cons: Hotel/room smelled of smoke. Walls thin. Checked in at 1030 pm, lobby very dark, no lights on. Seemed sketchy. I was surprised this was a Wyndham hotel and that it got good ratings. To go breakfast was supposed to be ready at 4 am, but was not there when I left at 4:10.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Staff was very rude

Pros: The shuttle met us right on time, we called ahead because we have a baby and it was in the 20s temperature-wise. Check in was quick as we got in at midnight and were tired.

Pros: comfortable beds

Cons: no breakfast or swimming

Cons: Staff wasn't very happy he try to say I was on a no rent list after after I explained iv never had issues here he still stuck to it untill I got rude my room smelled musty bathroom was dirty mirror had toothpaste on it hair dryer didn't work so that put a hold on my plans after a shower

Pros: Room was clean and accomidating.

Cons: Room was not completely stocked with the typical complimentary hygiene items, only had to ask but was inconvenient for bathing.

Pros: It was very quiet and the staff was very pleasant. It is also convenient to the airport and has free shuttle service.

Pros: Besides being close to the airport and having a "free" breakfast, I really cannot say anything good about this place.

Cons: The room smelled, the pool was too cold to even swim in, and it was over priced.

Pros: Location right across airport Offer free shuttle Great breakfast Clean bug room

Cons: Was able to hear big planes take off

Pros: I love the pool and the hot tub and my balcony overlooking the poolside the beds were comfortable when we needed more towels they were brought right to us the room was great

Cons: I didn't like the fact that it said that the courtyard closed at 11 but people were still down there loud and obnoxious till 1 or 2 in the morning yelling and screaming at each other like drunken fools and when we got breakfast it was cold the biscuits and gravy were cold

Pros: Otherwise it was very pleasant stay was greatly relaxing. Quiet. Dont hear outside noise which was unusual and greatly appreciated. Staff was kind. From front desk to cleaning. All vey nice and accommodating. No check out rush.

Cons: If there was more community's area's without time limits.

Pros: The pool water was the perfect temp and the staff was friendly

Cons: Hot tub was a cold tub, had 2 people say they was going to make it warmer but that never happened. Also couldn't watch TV, kept saying it couldn't connect.

Pros: Bar/restaurant were not open due to Covid. I bought alcohol/food/snacks at the kiosk.

Cons: No bar/restaurant open.

Pros: Not much. Full rate for no amenities. The restaurant had minimal options except for weekends. Should be half rate for half amenities.

Cons: No room service no food no restaurant. Should be half price.

Pros: Strangely cool, retro atrium area.

Cons: Not worth anywhere near the money we paid. Really nothing to do in the nearby area, and the hotel is in desperate need of renovation. Staff was a bit "ho-hum" about everything. Pool was freezing cold and way too deep for younger kids - 9'0" in the deep end, going down sharply from 3'0" in the shallow end. My daughter is an intermediate swimmer and was confined to 1/3rd of the pool due to the depth. The "Video Arcade" features mostly broken games and there is no change machine. The term "Restaurant" is also a strong word.

Pros: The room is nice. Really good

Cons: A little noise when us walking and take a shower

Pros: It was a place to sleep. The check in and check out staff were very friendly and was a high point to our stay.

Cons: The lighting was not very good, plug ins did not always work, some of the plug ins were loose, had to replace a l ight bulb in our lamp, and the bathroom door was coming off it's hinges. We couldn't close the door completely. Breakfast was OK. I couldn't eat the breakfast bar because I only have a top denture plate, and the sausage sandwich was fair at best. Even microwaved, the biscuit was soggy, and the taste was nil.

Pros: The personal and facilities

Pros: Everything else was just fine

Cons: When I went to use the card reader on the outside door on the North entrance it fell apart and I couldn't use that door and my room was right there had to go back to the lobby and walk all the way back down the hall to get to my room.

Pros: Staff was nice

Cons: Because of the Covid19...the breakfast isn't that great but doable.

Pros: The staff were nice, the rooms were clean, and the breakfast was good.

Cons: A few noisy airplanes took off pretty early in the morning.

Pros: Very clean Nice location Easy to get anywhere downtown.

Cons: Staff was extremely helpful,nice and hard working. They could use some additional help because the workers would have to run across the street to open the gate to allow guests to park. Often they were juggling checking people in at the same time running across the street. They don’t always know when someone from the hotel is coming or going but unruly neighbors who share the parking garage are not patient to be waiting for the gate to be opened by an overworked hotel employee.

Pros: Staff was friendly

Cons: Very outdated,sink in bathroom didn't drain. Coffee service (Starbucks) wasn't working. No valet,every time we wanted to leave parking garage,had to call and have someone from hotel come over and swipe their card to let us in and out.

Pros: Wouldn’t know the parking was extra cost. The website indicates the parking but not the fee

Cons: Employees were helpful

Pros: Location was good

Cons: The staff seemed disorganized. We also wanted valet parking and that was confusing for them.

Pros: it was a beautiful hotel, superior service, with very spacious rooms

Cons: I wish it could be more affordable, I would definitely stay more often.

Pros: Large, clean room Good people

Pros: The email for preferences was perfect!

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff - both front desk and valet; helpful with directions and made a couple of good restaurant recommendations; Location convenient for an event my wife and I attended during our stay and the valet shuttle included at no additional cost was helpful. Nice breakfast offerings.

Cons: While I got lucky with a dynamite parking spot in front of the hotel for the weekend and didn't need to move my car, the notion of valet parking for $15 per night was distasteful (I know it can be much more in major coastal cities). Sunday morning breakfast should not end at 10 a.m. - it should run at least until 11.

Pros: The room was so luxurious & the staff was amazing! The free breakfast was delicious! We loved staying at the Hyatt! Would definitely recommend & stay there again!

Cons: The difficult parking, didn't find a spot & had to use valet

Pros: There wasn't breakfast due to Covid restrictions

Cons: The vending machine was pretty expensive in my opinion

Pros: We loved everything about our stay including the Jacuzzi.

Cons: There wasn't any type of breakfast only orange juice😐

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Staff was awful

Pros: Great location - quiet !

Cons: No hot tub

Cons: Wasn't room i booked customer service help get it fix after a few hours they couldn't get confirmation finally hotel boojed me direct with them after 3 hours and 33 hour dive i was in my room. I was charged more then expected. Was very irritated I feel like I'm owed a refund. Def don't want to use you guys again. Room was smelly not enough towels Jacuzzi smiley

Pros: The room was clean, the common facilities were clean, and a couple of your staff were friendly.

Cons: When I arrived, the young woman who checked me in seemed irritated that I was there. I think she was sitting in a car outside the building and then actually came in behind me to check me in which I found strange. She then scheduled my daughter and me for breakfast the next day at 7:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., respectively, but the next morning your staff told me that they weren't serving breakfast and only offered breakfast bars but that said they couldn't find the bars. Customer service is crucial and easy to train, this facility should pick up its game. Communication about things like breakfast should also be easy, and again, this facility should pick up its game. Finally, I was a bit surprised at the outside of the property, it didn't seem up to the standards of other AmericInns at which I've stayed, but perhaps this was just a perception issue.

Pros: room were nice

Cons: breakfast
