I had a very nice stay with my little granddaughter. She loved everything about the room! The hotel was great walking access to lots of great night life and places to eat, as well as the Saturday downtown farmer's market.

Just ok

Lots of issues, however they resolved most in a timely manner.
Barbara, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad

Hotel was clean, and the staff was very friendly. Our room was also clean, but the ceiling AC unit kept dripping water onto the floor in the kitchen. It was very annoying hearing water smack the floor every few seconds. Other than that, our stay was great.

Awsome place to stay, quick walk in the sky walks to get to events and places to eat and shop. Parking ramp for the hotel making for an easy parking every time. Inside of hotel was great and awsome breakfast service.

Fastest check-in ever.
Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was good. The rooms are clean and spacious. The only problem was the shower. Couldn’t shower first day because of no hot water. It was ice cold. The next day the shower started out hot then turned ice cold. Not fun experience trying to get shampoo and conditioner out with ice cold water then water turned scalding hot. Showers/ water requires attention.

Great staff and friendly.

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

4/10 Fair

Not sure what the issue was.. not worth the cost

The hot tub jets did not work. The shower knob was loose and did not keep the temp correct… tried booking out, but no one was at the desk , called the number no one answered. Parking garage did not give bar code… was charged multiple time for parking?? Called service number and auto phone call kept hanging up.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.

Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Meh

I waited about 10 minutes at the front desk to check in because no one was at the front desk. Another guest even commented "they" were always gone. I tried calling an operator but it still only rang the hotel front desk. The only rooms available were the suites this weekend. There was no hot water, only fluctuations between cold and tepid water.
