A group of 16 of us traveled from Boston to Des Moines and we stayed at this hotel. I was extremely pleased with the service. The hotel staff was very accommodating to our whole group, even weeks before we arrived there. The manager was very helpful, and always very eager to help us out. While we worked out of the... More

The owner and staff at this hotel did everything they could to ensure a great stay. I was in Iowa covering the Caucuses with 15 other news personnel. Everyone did their best to accommodate our unique needs and erratic schedule. Late night editing sessions were made less stressful with home-baked cookies and coffee. Every staffer went the extra mile to... More

Newly remodeled, room was very nice, breakfast was better than most with adequate choices. Pleasantly surprised at check in to be upgraded because what we had asked for was not available on the first floor, but was available with an upgrade. Hotel was quiet, open space to exercise pets and within walking distance to a Cracker Barrel restaurant. We will... More

Our group loved the hotel and its owner and staff! Stay here!! We had 16 television news staffers stay at the hotel for 10 days to cover the Iowa Caucuses. The owner Artur and his staff were incredible. They made many accommodations for us. He gave us the large conference room to use. The hotel is clean and safe. The... More

Greeted at the check in with cookies. Happy Hour from 5 to 7 with beer and wine. All the amenities in the room - microwave, refrigerator, free internet - Wonderful hot breakfast, waffles, biscuits and gravy etc. Only suggestion is to improve on the towels, shampoo - conditioner and soap - Perhaps a little higher grade - but that is...

The Best Western is a hidden gem in the Des Moines Market. The hotel is physically tucked in behind some other facilities at the NW corner of University and I - 35/80. The rooms are comfortable - and the breakfast was better than normal for a budget hotel. We found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and rates were attractive. More

I have stayed at many Best Western PLUS Hotels and this one was not one of my favorites. No restaurant, bar, and beds were ok. More

Dear Tami M. Thank you very much for your review of my property. I am sorry that you misunderstood the significance of the descriptors used recently by Best Western. The presence of a bar and restaurant on site is not a requirement for a Best Western Plus Status. That is determined by amenities, property layout and the AAA rating, which... More

This is a newer, nicely decorated, very clean motel with helpful, friendly staff. The room was large with a sofa sleeper, king bed and refrigerator - we appreciated the nice touches of china coffee cups and 12 oz. glass drinkware, The very reasonable rate included a manager's reception with popcorn, cookies, chips and dip, Panera bread, dipping oil and cheese...

We stayed at the Best Western Inn in Clive, IA which is a suburb of Des Moines, due its proximity to all of the things we wanted to do, the state fair, friends and malls. We had reserved a suite, which looked nice. That night as we looked for blankets and pillows for the pull out bed, we couldn't find... More

Dear Hynes57LeSueur_Mn, we are sorry that you experienced such problems with our housekeeping service on the one day over your multiple day, multiple room stay at our hotel. As you noted we did upgrade you to a suite for half the price just to accommodate your needs and during your stay in the middle of the State Fair you experienced... More

Only stayed one night, but thankfully it was a Wednesday night. Free pizza, chips and salsa, and beer/pop. Supper was taken care of that night. Rooms were a tad small, but very clean. Nice looking pool and hot tub also. More
