We had to stop here during holiday travel due to a snow storm. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lots of food options close to the property. It’s a bit of an older facility but was clean and comfortable. Kids enjoyed the indoor pool. Overall, happy we found this place.

We stayed 4 nights while working in the DSM area. Its a good location behind the AUDI dealership & right next to I80/35. We were at the hotel a total of maybe 16 hours over 4 nights, so we were exhausted and didnt spend alot of time in the room. It was windy during our stay and the cold breeze came through the wall heater and the window that didnt close all the way. We didnt say anything because we was only there for maybe 4 hours a night. Bonus there was a person at front desk when we checked out early Monday morning. So it wasn't too bad, but we won't be staying here again.

The hotel is in an awkward location behind car dealerships, you have to drive through the dealership to get to hotel. Not that big a deal however the room needs some serious repairs not to mention the roach running across the bathroom floor into a damaged tile. Holes in doors, dirty fan, rusty sinks etc…
