The hotel presence was terrible and none of the amenities listed online or in the magazine were correct. Half the building is cut off in construction, there was no pool and they lied about being pet friendly like they say in the magazine. I brought my dog all the way from Dallas and was told to get him out by midnight, which was very inconsiderate especially since I knew nothing about Des Moines and was not going to let my dog out on the street! I will not stay there again and shortly after the event, I rented out an apartment! The only great thing about this place is that is cheap! Otherwise it is terrible, you have to buy your own toilet paper, and clean your own room.
