    In town for business so I was here for a week and it was so nice! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, The rooms and hotel was very clean! The bed was super comfy and the best part of my room was the shampoo, conditioner and body wash... I know that sounds crazy how would that be such a game changer - allow me to explain. Visiting as many hotels that I do having those tiny little bottles of mystery shampoo/conditioner/body wash always runs out, breaks out or drys the ISH out of my skin so I have taken to bring my own HOWEVER this place has full size bottles of Tea Tree products!!! Game changer! First of all if you know anything about the products you'll totally understand my excitement but also what a great environmental change this hotel has taken. Think of the amount of tiny bottles of plastic that end up in land fills or the ocean and this location is making one positive step to improve that - even just Little!! The hotel had a great little cafe, business center, gym, guest laundry and even a pool and a super cute courtyard - I truly enjoyed this hotel so much and fully plan to return when I'm back in town!! The only thing I could complain about is the lack of outlets in the rooms. There were two on each side of the bed and the lamp has two but they were all plugs no usb chargers and for most of us that have an iPad, iPhones (work and personal), computer, headset charger etc etc having a few more would be the cherry on the sundae!!

    Stylishly furnished bedroom.

    Fine place to stay for the night when passing through Des Moines. It was clean, safe, and accessible to stores/restaurants.

    ***1st message sent to hotel text service the night we checked in:…read more We left right after we checked in to our room. We just got back to our room for the evening. The room smells very bad like mildew. When we got undressed to go to bed, we noticed the floor feels damp/wet & gross. ***2nd message sent to the text service the next morning after I talked to the lady at the front desk: Even when your head of cleaning walked in, she said: "whoa!" As soon as she smelled the room right when we opened the door. I guess this is your way of fixing the wet nasty floor for guests?!?! At least she was sympathetic, because she knows no one should've been assigned this room; and brought us blankets so we wouldn't have to walk on a completely wet floor. Also; when we got back last night, the air was on the coldest setting, I put the temp all the way up to 75, it's still only 66 degrees in the room... so that's broken also! We definitely should not be paying for this crappy room. I am not happy at all. The night person shouldn't have ignored my texts. The person at the desk this morning, offered to put in a work order, that totally wouldn't help our situation this morning... very nonchalant and didn't care. When I started explaining our situation, she replied "oh yeah..." so she knows we had a problem and texted, but she said sometimes they don't do a good job at replying to texts at night. This is not good customer service at all. When I checked out, I re-explained my situation to another male at the front desk. He said he'd give my info to the manager when she gets in about a refund. I waited a whole week. No one had contacted me and no refund was refunded! Worse experience in a very long time!!! A. Taylor Omaha, Ne

    On our way to South Dakota, we stopped for a night at this hotel. This property was located right…read moreoff the highway which was very convenient. There are a lots of food options around and the hotel had a well lit parking area. The room we got was 1 king bed with sofa bed which was spacious, the bed was comfortable and we felt like it was a great value for the money. The staff at the front desk were courteous, helpful and efficient. Breakfast in the morning was cleanly arranged and presented well. They had both cold and hot food selections. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again.

    John M. reviewed this location in July........ he was right on the mark and not much change since…read morethen. The person who checked us in really had no interest in making us feel welcome; she was simply doing her job. We paid for a room with a fireplace - not that we were using a fireplace in August, but it provides more space - we got a room with a whirlpool tub. My husband enjoyed the company of a roach in the bathroom overnight. The shower curtain is on of those curved rods that pulls away from the wall after a while (no support in the center). The shower curtain wouldn't stay spread open while showering. There was a brown ring around the drain in the sink; it wasn't rust or lime, it is evidence of poor cleaning. The breakfast buffett is just like every other place, but the person maintaining the buffet never refilled anything. The oatmeal ran out an hour before breakfast ended and he just took the container away and didn't bring any more. The breads were down to five items and no replenishment. This is an hour before breakfast ended. The rooms have the HVAC systems that are loud, and the one in our room did not run properly. I read somewhere that this hotel had a hot tub..... it is now filled in with cement. While my husband and I were packing up to leave this morning, the cleaning gal "cleaned" three rooms around us; it only took about 30 minutes to pack up and leave. The Sales Manager asked me how our stay was, and she seemed interested, but her response, while kind, made me feel like she felt I might be exaggerating.

    Currently here right now, and I am the platinum member. We stayed here in the past and usually…read morethings are OK...i clearly stated during my reservation. I needed a handicap room, possibly on the first floor.- recently had hip surgery and still using a cane - but they gave me a room at the end of the hall on the second floor??? So much for being a loyal customer. When I brought it to their attention they said that there was nothing they can do - even though I reserved it almost 30 days in advance??? So now I'm stuck without being able to take a shower because nobody choose to read the notes until after the fact.- pretty embarrassing / customer service wise- they don't have any parking either if you arrive tardy. Disappointed- not even an effort to make it right...

The lobby was beautiful, with plenty of places to sit and a coffee making machine that could make you lattes, mochas and even hot chocolate, which I utilized multiple times. The pool was clean and brightly lit and honestly beautiful. The rooms were clean and had that extra blanket and pillow in the closet that you always hope is there when you want to feel extra cozy. This Best Western is clearly run by hospitable, welcoming people who know what they're doing. The only critique I have is that the elevator buttons seemed a little old, but they were still working properly. I felt well taken care of, cozy and comfortable, and all at a reasonable price. I would stay there again for sure. I can't wait to have another hot chocolate by their fireside in the lobby. Keep it up, you guys! I had such an amazing time. We'll be back!

    Stayed at this hotel for a weekend while in town for a basketball tournament…read more Checking in was super easy. The reception area was bright and inviting. But once you leave that area and go down the hallway to the rooms, it's a different feel. The hallways are dark. Our room was fine. We got a two queen bed room which also had a pull out coach. It was spacious for us. The room itself needed lots of updates. The wallpaper was starting to peel, the bedroom half of the room was very dark, random light switch that didn't turn anything on or off. Plus sides - person at reception was very friendly both evenings. And location is great! Would I stay there again? It depends. If there was another hotel in the same area around the same price, I'd probably try the other hotel. If this was a lot less expensive, then I'd be okay staying here again.

    From the beginning of my stay, the experience was disappointing. I stayed at this hotel for several…read moredays, and at no point was my room cleaned or my trash emptied. For the price paid, basic housekeeping services should be a standard expectation, not something guests have to request or go without. What made the experience even more frustrating was the complete lack of housekeeping throughout my stay and the poor customer service at the end. My room remained untouched for days, trash accumulated, and there was no indication that anyone planned to service it. When my flight was delayed, I asked whether the hotel could accommodate me for a little longer. Despite having failed to provide even the most basic housekeeping services during my stay, there was no flexibility and no effort to assist. I understand that hotels have policies, but hospitality is about taking care of guests. The combination of neglecting housekeeping entirely and then refusing to work with a guest facing unexpected travel issues left an extremely poor impression. I left feeling like my business was appreciated only until checkout time. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience. Better housekeeping standards and more attentive customer service would go a long way toward improving the guest experience.

The room and breakfast…read morewere fine, but there are a few things I definitely take issue with and the last one is extremely important to me: 1) They said they only have housekeeping refresh the room every 3rd day. When did this start happening. Isn't it standard hotel procedure to refresh the room daily? 2) They slid my invoice under the room door very early in the morning (it was there when I woke up at 5:45am) on checkout day. I am not a fan of having my personal information slid under a door. All it takes is a tiny bit of human error and then someone has bits a pieces of my personal info and certainly enough to start charging items to the room. And my biggest issue of all ... 3) The "fitness center" is a complete joke and cannot be referred to as a fitness center. I don't expect very much out of hotel fitness centers, but this was a storage closet with 2 ellipticals, 2 treadmills and a dumbbell rack squeezed into a room the size of a closet. There wasn't even enough space to get down and do some push ups or sit ups. It's a complete slap in the face to anyone who books there and wants to get in a workout. I actually had to go seek out a gym in the area, and pay them, in order to get my workout in when I should have been able to do that at the hotel since they advertise a "fitness center." If working out is a priority to you, completely avoid this hotel.

First and foremost when you check in, you get a free drink and they respect the Yelp check in though they don't seem know it exists. They're are plentiful amount of rooms. The rooms are big. They are also eco friendly. Awesome showers! The best part is the breakfast they feature is amazing. They don't have those light, bare bones course meals here. Great drink options too with breakfast ! The highlight is that it's got an amazing pool and hot tub! Sure they got a gym too but it's a large pool, hot tub area! I'll make sure I'll come here more often!
