It was a great place to stop with our family! The pool was large with a 3 foot area roped off at one end for smaller children & a 9-foot deep end where our older kids could jump in. The hot tub & sauna were also nice. What is really unique in this hotel was that there was also a gaming room with billiards, air hockey, and arcade games, which our teenage boys loved. The fitness center was great & everything throughout the hotel was clean and well-maintained. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and one employee stopped in the courtyard where we were eating pizza to ask if we wanted him to raise the table umbrellas because it looked like it might rain. The breakfast was excellent with lots of options, including pancakes, waffles, french toast, bacon, etc. and was served in a large room with lots of natural light.

    There was no breakfast. Booking.com booked me into a room in a hotel that was closed. Specifically, I was booked into the Des Moines Iowa Airport Doubletree Hotel for a one night stay February 9-10. When I arrived on February 9, it was closed, pending completion of a renovation project. How do I get my funds returned? The cost was $177.07 USD.

    Close to the airport, yet, not really within walking distance, need a taxi or Uber (which can take time to get, as Des Moines is somewhat rural). The hotel is modern, bright, and clean, and everything is functional. Staff friendly and professional. Spacious room with all the amenities.
