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!

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.

Nice hotel in the downtown area.

10/10 Exceptional

Good!
Good! The place was clean! There were a few noticeable repairs needed but nothing that prevented us from doing anything. Pool was HELLA cold. But it was December, so that could’ve been a product of cold coming through big glass windows.
Ben, 1-night trip

Will be back!
Excellent check-in staff, great roomed, great location so close to everything downtown.

5 min walk to ball park and places to eat.
Scott, 2-night trip

We picked this hotel since it was close to the marathon start/finish line. We’re coming back next June for the Ironman and staying for the same reason. The only downside was the pool was too chilly. Love the location though!

Didn’t spend a lot of time there but it was nice
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I absolutely loved that the hotel was within walking distance to allot of things to do and places to eat! I enjoy watching trains pass and my room had a front row seat to all of the passing trains! Everything was great……. The only complaint I have is having to wait at least 15 minutes to check out due to the lady not being at the desk and not having a box to drop my room keys. I was worried that I would be late to catch my flight.
Victoria Rose, 3-night trip

Marcus, 2-night trip

We had a good river view and the room was spacious and complete. The stay was enjoyable. The only minor issue is that we could not check in until 3 pm.

Kitchen and other amenities were good. I wish I could have a late check out. Breakfast was great with healthy options.

Hotel is in the middle of renovations, but our rooms where far away from all the construction and did not have any effect on our stay.
