“There's a modern energy to this downtown spot, from the tech-ready rooms to the climate-controlled skywalk that whisks you to nearby attractions; the 24-hour quick service is a definite plus for late-night cravings or early-morning fuel. I see it as a practical choice, especially with its pet-friendly policy and complimentary breakfast, even if some operational hiccups occasionally surface. Overall, it seems a solid base for exploring Des Moines.”
