not much to the breakfast

the breakfast was weak.

enough breakfast food left by 7am

convince breakfast was ok.

standard hotel breakfast with home made waffles. pretty nice way to start your day.

they have a laundry facility as well (don't know specifics as we did not need to make use of the laundry)

thought this was an absolute perfect hotel clean, quiet, friendly staff, free well lit parking, awesome stay

was clean - didnt have a musty or overwhelming pool smell when walking in

in addition, a microwave is needed in the breakfast area to cook your oatmeal

the breakfast was great and the location was, too.

pool was great, they had onsite laundry

dirty rooms nasty showers no soap laundry machine didnt wash pool was empty hot tub was empty sheets were not

nice room, spacious and clean, breakfast was nice

the mattress seemed new and plenty of space for family and family pet.

pet friendly, open space for walk adjacent to hotel, super friendly staff, great breakfast, loved

very old kitchenette setting, black stain on ceiling in the bathroom, belive to be mold

wifi fluctuations

room were put in is a non smoking room but for some reason it still smelt like smoke

front parking mostly full at night

room was a nice size and the 'kitchen' area was handy

was wonderful to have free laundry services as

i asked housekeeping for extra towels and was told i had to go by the laundry room and get them myself

filthy laundry room

walk in and it just smells clean the pool was nice and clean as well my kids and i had a blast

tried to charge us twice for pet fee

the laundry facilities should be cheaper. (self laundry room)

was awesome and shuttled me to the airport so i could catch my flight

it has a full kitchen with an electric stove, fridge and dishwasher

parking lot is way too small

full kitchen and breakfast selection

it also has a in door pool which the children liked

the airport shuttle was beyond understanding shuttling back and forth while i was trying to get it sorted out

it was cheaper to pay that and leave my vehicle at the hotel than to use airport parking

wifi excellent staff public areas super clean

included airport shuttle system is a huge plus, all we had to when we landed in the des moines airport was talk

only bummer was that the laundry facility was out of order and we couldn't do our laundry

the shuttle was dirty and the staff seemed distracted

my plane got into des moines at 12 am so i missed the last shuttle to the hotel and had to pay for a taxi

the art, pleasant facility, good parking

free parking bed comfortable

you come in a door (with a rat trap just outside) to walk into the laundry room

no room service no food no restaurant. should be half price.

the kids loved the pool. easy access to the city.

the rooms look a little bit old. wifi could be a bit slower at times.

i phoned the hotel to inquire about the shuttle service someone answered promptly and gave me good information

nice breakfast

it was clean, very friendly helpful staff, great continental breakfast

they got very rude with our kids and when i complained their adult was watching them through the window seated

convenient location to the airport, shuttle service, paroptions.

people were camped out in the hallway waiting for their laundry

sounded like i might be near laundry room

very nice. friendly staff. full breakfast early in the morning available!

didn't get a chance to try the breakfast because it was overly crowded, but i like that they serve breakfast

the business center, laundry room and fitness area were all conveniently located on 1st floor

the room was comfortable and quiet, and the breakfast was very good

free breakfast, swimming pool

great bed. excellent kitchen. very close to principal park. you can easily walk with kids.

in winter, the pool was cold and the hot tub was very, very hot

the room and kitchen!

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

the buffet breakfast for the price was a little high for the scope of items, but the breakfast at the republic

the breakfast is not great and over priced.

nice room, modern and clean. bed was very comfortable. pool was nice and water was warm.

we loved the pool but wished there was a hot tub as well.

would have liked room service but every hotel is like that bc of covid.

bar area didn't blend well with the rest of the hotel

also, only one mirror in bathroom, really need second in room or over bar area

you don't like clean rooms, top quality beds, unique atmosphere, excellent fitness facility with spa, amazing

the bar was closed the evening of our stay.

for purified water requires going to the basement gym - but i guess you could drink from the tap or buy bottled

wine/coffee bar downstairs was out of service for any type of espresso drink, so that was disappointing

microwave, no room service, the doors on the bathtub were installed backwards so open at the wrong end

no information on speakeasy bar or its location in hotel that sounded like fun

said there was a bar in the booking ad but the bar was shut down and that was something we really wanted and
