At our first arrival the hotel was wonderful, but we couldn't get the room tempture to be even as cool as the hallways.I notified the front desk of our problem and it was "fixed" by maintence twice! Never did cool the room down. We stayed for 7 days because of a conference we were attending otherwise we would have changed hotels. Wake ...

I have been a couple of times to Des Moines, IA , Mostly my target visit is the mall. I really do not know much other places than that in Des Moines.

So I can drive less worried of traffic and enjoy more a view of Des moines.
