Besutiful and unexpected find in Des Moines

We stopped after a long day on the road. The hotel was recently beautifully refurbished, the bartender was friendly, and the beds were luxurious. Breakfast coffee and croissant the next morning was just the right touch. And parking was right out the front door. Definitely will make a point of stopping on our way through in the future.

4/10 Fair

We did not get the room we reserved. Instead of a king room we got a double. When we told the front desk and showed our confirmation we were told that since it was reserved through a 3rd party they could not do anything.
