Unimpressed

Needs updates. Bathroom door won't stay closed. Door frames are rusty. Desk chair was broken. Only had towels and washclothes for two people to last three days and had four people in room. Pool area only open for weekends and wasn't notified until check in. No towels in pool area to dry off.

We had a great time. Super affordable. It was a little worn down, but to be expected in a water park-type stay. We had a great time, and the staff was wonderful.

4/10 Fair

Disappointing

This place has gone down hill over the years. Took my girls during the week and only on one pool was open which was disappointing. There is a free breakfast which was granola bars and danishes from Walmart. It use to be a warm breakfast. It’s probably better on the weekends.
Nathanael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice room, uncaring morning staff.

The water park is only staffed/open on Friday and Saturday and that is not disclosed until you arrive. The room did not have a bathtub for the kids - only a shower with a shower head that sprayed water all over the floor. There was a glass wall that did not keep the bathroom from being utterly flooded. In the morning the breakfast attendant was nowhere to be found for over 30 minutes. The waffle batter dispenser was broken and the cereal dispenser was broken. When we told the front desk about the issues the desk person said “that’s not my department” and went back to playing with his phone.
Heather, 1-night trip

I hope you like to wait

Check in was a long wait. There wasn’t any sheets or blankets for the pull out sofa bed. We had to wait some time to receive some There weren’t any breakfast items except a couple boxes of cereal a gallon of milk and juice! The room was comfortable and clean. We will not stay again.
Scott, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The entire reason we book in Des moines was for the "waterpark" here. We arrived on Thursday and were notified that the water park was shut down. Kids were extremely disappointed. They were only allowed to swim in the small regular pool. Upon checkout we found out that they currently only open the water park on certain hours friday/sat /sun. This would have been nice to know ahead of time! Breakfast wasnt great. No protein options. Waffle mix wouldnt dispense. Otherwise it was just prepackaged processed foods. Kids enjoyed the arcade. Place was nicely updated and mostly clean.

8/10 Very good

Good place to stay if you have kids

The pool was fun for my son and well monitored. The staff was friendly. Could definitely use some amenity updates in the rooms.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’ve never had this bad of a hotel experience.

No towels. Bathroom doors don’t close or lock. No bathtubs and the showers get water all over the floor. Front desk doesn’t answer the phone ever. The room phones don’t work to call to the desk. You have to walk to the front desk and hope someone will help you every time you need something. The carpets in the rooms are wet and absolutely filthy. The sofa bed was broken. The fridge barely cooled. The hot water ran out for showers. Th wonky saving grace and reason we didn’t immediately check out was that my kids loved the water slides. Worst hotel.
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The place was so dirty! It was absolutely disgusting!
Katelin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was over 2 hours. Water park was a lot of fun for kids. Free breakfast was a joke. It was all cold cereal in a bag and granola bars, and not a lot left when we got there to eat. The restaurant told us the pizza over was broken at 8pm on a Friday night I feel bc of short staffed. Rooms needs updated.
