Pros

Located near multiple dining options within 0.5 miles

Meeting facilities accommodate up to 60 people

24-hour front desk service available

Convenient access to Jordan Creek Town Center shopping mall

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Des Moines International Airport

Limited on-site dining options

“This budget-friendly option provides basic comforts, including quiet rooms equipped with a refrigerator and microwave. While some areas show their age and updates are needed, the property is conveniently located for getting around town. I found the breakfast setup cramped but adequate, and I believe the comfortable beds and functional amenities outweigh some cosmetic issues for short stays.”
