Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

Location near Drake diner. Efficient use of space. The security system on the elevator the curtain that separates the bed from the rest of the room for late night TV watching. Special mention for the two ladies serving breakfast: mindful of the inclement weather, they chose to come into the hotel at midnight so they would be available to serve breakfast in the morning. That is true dedication, and quality that should be reinforced and rewarded.

The staff was great!! Breakfast was fabulous!! Location was also fabulous!!

It was clean and comfortable. it was nice to have a full kitchen and plenty of space. The curtain between beds and couch is a nice touch. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly and helpful. The pool uses salt rather than chemicals. Pool was slightly cold but not too bad. The area was great. We were able to walk to dinner, and it was a short drive to downtown.

The room had a curtain you can pull out to add privacy between the bed and sofa which was also a pull out bed. Instead of paper cups there was glasses and regular dishes, there was a microwave and large refrigerator. Very eco friendly! It allows pets , good selection for breakfast. We were there for the Iowa State Fair and got back late, the only problem is small parking lot, and if they don't have any spots available to park, you have to park in the street which is hard because homeowners don't have driveway so they park in street. We did get lucky and managed to find a spot in the lot when we came back from the fair. Staff was friendly, rooms good size.

Everything from management to staff to the corner by the toilet stall was exceptional. I’ve paid twice as much for a room of lesser value. Best experience I’ve ever had with a motel and will stay here every time I come this way on I-80.
