Splendid

Great location! Peaceful and quiet. Near beautiful capital building and easy walk to nearby restaurants. Very short drive or longer walk to historic Des Moines. Property new, clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom and shower. Nice kitchen. Although we didn’t cook there it appeared to have that one would need. Keurig coffee maker.Would definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Terrible conditions with leaking ceiling, bag of garbage under the sink, dirty towels on the floor. No mattress pad on the bed. Just a thin fitted sheet and a multiuse comforter. No flat sheet or blanket. Rollaway bed in room but zero extra sheets or blankets. With all this, no response from owner despite two voicemails and three emails throughout the day until the night we had left. And then the offer was to refund cleaning fee.
