"My partner and I were in Des Moines for a quick stop at the capitol building followed by a visit to the Iowa State Fair. Our stay was very comfortable, quiet, and easy to navigate the step by step directions for entry (i.e. keys and parking). The provided amenities were just right for our length of stay. One special feature of the property is its historical designation (surprising given how modern the condo feels). The architecture and design of the lobby are amazing -- SO cool! The location...
