"Everything was excellent upon arrival. The only little issue was the cleaning staff left laundry in the dryer. Excellent location that was close to everything in Des Moines."

Check-in could not have gone smoother. Kitchen accommodations were very good. I would suggest upgrading the Keurig. But that is a minor issue. Overall very good.
