Very nice hotel and breakfast we would definitely come back to stay longer! The outdoor hot tub looked really nice. The location was nice to be on the outskirts of the city!

This property was bright, clean, and in a great location! Just what we needed as a road trip stop over. Breakfast was excellent and staff was super friendly. Huge value for the price paid. Highly recommend!

Everything was except I wanted to hangout with a fire pit but there was no staff with the knowledge on how to turn it on.

Beautiful property. Very quiet and clean.

Really nice hotel! We enjoyed out stay. Only downside was the small pool - We travel with kids who like to swim and I like to swim laps

Loved our time in West Des Moines, and at the Element!

The staff was friendly and quick, the establishment was clean. The pool was inoperable due to children putting toilet paper in the pool. The hot tub was open so that was enjoyable. I asked for a late checkout and they were kind to extend my checkout by 1 hour. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

Absolutely loved this hotel! A wonderful, cozy yet modern feel. Very clean and quiet! Loved the gym, the hot tub and pool area. Breakfast was also great!

Upgrade upon arrival as king room wasn’t available. Nice clean, quiet hotel nearby my daughter’s graduate school.

Lovely stay, appreciate the hospitality.

This was just okay. The hallway had a terrible odor. The restaurant next door was playing loud music until after midnight. Breakfast was disappointing.

Thermostat battery died. No parking. Shower door and bathroom door won't stay shut. Way too expensive for this property.

The biggest problem my family had was that we arrived to the hotel and was told they over booked and they would give us our money back and told us to find a room somewhere else. We were then told that we could not get money from them because we ordered through Expedia and we needed to contact Expedia. The management felt that telling us to basically go on our way without any compensation or attempt to rectify the problem. Actually, the manager refused to come out and talk to us about the situation. When the desk help returned, they had a lower priced room available. However when we checked out, the manager was need to tell me the exact price of my room. Apparently I will be contacted in a couple days. I’ve never had such a situation when traveling. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Easy check in process. Friendly staff with a big smile provided great service. Rooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended place to stay.
