spa out of service in the pool/fitness center

fitness room is lacking

fitness center is very nice, with excellent equipment, but i personally would have preferred it if

very accommodating! good fitness center and great breakfast.

we enjoyed using the fitness room, which was clean and well-organized

complaints were the hallways smelled weird, a sewer type smell at times and the breakfast hours felt limited

the breakfast is a typical hotel offering

breakfast was awesome

breakfast was good and hot

smelled incredible, breakfast was the best ever

hotel is big and has diffefent services including swimming pool, gym, restaurants

excellent gym and pool

the pool and spa was nice

shuttle was convient and drivers very accomidating

the bar and restaurants hours... it wasn't open long enough

the gym machines are older then the hotel and broken and rusted

checking in was fine other than the random kids running around

the jets in the spa in the bedroom didn’t work. also the pool was not open.

nice breakfast

all staff were very friendly and letting me know when breakfast was too

the gym equipment was nice.

size is good, cleaness on avg level, front desk nice and helpful, free breakfast is ok, gym and pool available but no time to go

breakfast was more than adequate

sounded like i might be near laundry room

airport shuttle on very snowy morning was awesome☺☺☺☺

i called for the shuttle it was there in 5 minutes

large rooms. great breakfast and dining area. friendly and fun bar on property.

no indoor pool. i would have liked to swim during my stay, but the outdoor pool was closed.

we used the shuttle to and from the airport and were very happy with the convenience this provided us

quick shuttle service to dsm airport

staff was great. fitness room was okay. room was good. along a busy highway so, a little noisy

the pool was open late enough

breakfast was in a very clean area also

nice breakfast. enjoyed the exercise room and swimming pool

friendly, open space for walk adjacent to hotel, super friendly staff, great breakfast, loved the cheesy eggs

i didn't use the gym but it was well stocked with some weight machines, a massage table, ellipticals and treadmills

at how nice the hotel was and all the extras ( breakfast, pool, hot tub, sauna, tv/ lounge room, gym) i can’t believe how nice it was for such an amazing price

just the restrictions i.e. no access to gym or pool. but understandable due to situation.

quality of the breakfast and the gym

fitness facility is as good as a gym

gym with ice treadmill/elliptical and free weights

no pool or breakfast. i understand that that cannot be avoided.

there was a guest laundry room which was very convenient, and the breakfast was great

staff was extremely friendly, the breakfast was very good, and the free shuttle service exceeded my expectations

due to covid i havent experienced breakfast or the pool, which is understandable

i workout in the morning and the gym is better than most places

always appreciate a 24 hour gym and that there were a couple more pieces of equipment beyond treadmills and free weights

the space of the room, continental breakfast, pool, cleanliness, and location all stood out.

got our bill at check out and they charged us $75 for a pet fee for a small dog, for one night

restaurant at pool closed due to covid-19

was very clean and spacious, i was surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies

was freezing cold (kids and i couldn’t swim for longer than 10 minutes because it was so cold), and the jacuzzi was

the breakfast bar close down a little to soon :-)

pool was down for maintenance but the neighboring hotel was kind enough to let us use theirs

breakfast closed early, but it’s only temporary

the fitness center was large and had ample space and a decent array of equipment

expensive bar, no outside alcohol rule to make you buy over priced drinks, fitness center wasn t very

great location, easy to park, most places in the city are walkable, excellent breakfast, nice pool area and workout

free beers each & munchies, couple cook to to order omelets & all that goes with, plus free shuttle for a 2 mile radius of the hotel
