"Todo el lugar el servicio y el desayuno"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was excellent. There was plenty of parking. The room was clean, and the bed was AMAZING. I slept so well. I also liked that a few restaurants and a convenience store were within walking distance (I didn't have to cross a large road to get to them either). I would highly recommend this hotel."
