My husband and I just had a two night stay at this hotel. Our expectations were exceeded in every aspect. The room was large and clean. The beds were so comfortable. The breakfast area was wonderful and the free breakfast offered delicious and varied items for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausages, oatmeal, fruit, cereal, bagels, waffles, etc. The pool,, hot tub, and sauna were absolutely wonderful. Perfect temperature for each of them. Laundry was also available. The staff we dealt with were lovely, efficient and knowledgeable. Our experience with the shuttle going to and from the airport was wonderful. This hotel is a class act and you won't regret choosing it for your stay in Des Moines ... whether it be long or short.

Not a thing.

Everything was very clean and the staff was so incredibly nice! Everyone we interacted with even if it was just walking past someone from housekeeping they smile or have a good morning/evening for you. The hot breakfast was great with lots of options and the gentleman overseeing the breakfast kept everything fresh and stocked and was very friendly. We didn’t get a chance to enjoy the pool but it looked very nice and the people swimming seemed to enjoy it.

There wasn’t much but the only elevator was at the other side of the hotel from the lobby and the two other entrances had a lot of people smoking by them so they smelled of cigarette smoke.

Staff were friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Beds were comfy. Location was great. I saw a complaint about the trucking students- they were definitely around (especially hanging out in the pool area) but were friendly and not bothersome at all. I appreciated the dehumidifier in our room and it was definitely needed as we emptied it 3 times in 2 days.

The Internet stopped working and when we asked the front desk, they told us we had to call tech support. Seemed a bit strange that it was our responsibility and that was frustrating . Ended up just needing to re-sign in after leaving the property and coming back. Didn't figure that out until after being on hold for almost 45 min. Exhaust fan in the bathroom would be nice- ours didn't seem to work.

Clean, comfortable

When I pulled up the button on the faucet to run the shower, half the water kept pouring out the faucet. I reported the problem to front desk. Bathroom sink has a slow drain. Probably just needs cleaning out. And the light switch at the door didn't work. Also the bed frame makes some clanking noise every time I got in it . Room 132, bed next to the wall.. All minor things that just need a touchup. Overall, pretty wonderful. Loved the humidifier too! And coffee in lobby all the time! Didn't try the coffee in my room. Free breakfast was great!

My son-in-law took me to the hotel. He had seen it years ago and was overwhelmed at how awesome it is now. Everything was immaculate. The breakfast was awesome too: hot biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, cereals, pastries, and that was just what I saw. Then... I told, James, the cook who was on the spot in the dining room to oversee everyone's needs and wants, that those biscuits and gravy were great and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. And James is also the shuttle driver and picked me up at 4:00 a.m. and took me to the airport. Wonderful guy. The whole staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. The pool was big, the game room was very nice, the rooms for meetings, weddings, etc. were all well-appointed. Enough said! Oops, the "shower power" sold it too. Awesome.

Not a thing. Even had a little store.

Very clean, modern design, ample parking. Staff was very attentive. Jane greeted us on arrival with free cookies. We explained we had an additional room booked for the following night for our daughter and her boyfriend and we would be attending a concert so we would be in pretty late. The following evening(actually 1am next morning) Marianna greeted us and had everything ready for them. Very smooth. Very nice. Excellent breakfast well attended by Jorge both mornings. Our daughter and boyfriend made use of the pool and spa which were excellent and very clean. Next time in Des Moines we will definitely book this property.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nothing comes to mind everything was perfect

The staff were excellent. We arrived early and needed to store our luggage, while we returned our hire car. The staff helped us store it in a secure room. We were allowed to wait in the Inn, after we returned from lunch with friends and it was still too early for check in. The room was spacious. The shower was hot. It had an elevator and a snack shop. The Inn had many facilities, which we could have used: spa/ swimming pool, rec rom, exercise room. It was also quiet. They had a free shuttle bus to and from the airport - on the hour.

Unfortunately the Inn lost internet power in the late afternoon and it only returned during the night. This was a problem for checking into flights. Breakfast was similar to other Inns. There was a very limited selection for the GF, but you could toast your own bread. They did have fresh fruit, yoghurt, hot scrambled eggs, cold boiled eggs, sausage and bacon. Once again breakfast used polystyrene containers. It was not within walking distance of shops or restaurants- you would have to drive.

I love staying at Baymont it’s our family’s go-to when we need to take a little break from the world but don’t have the funds to travel far. * in this instance, it was my sons 8th birthday party we had at the hotel. It was what he had chosen for what he wanted to do for his birthday bcuz we have stayed there many times before and he just loves it. So, we booked a suite, and there was plenty of room in the kitchen/living room area to have his party with family, enough room that they were not having to go into the bedroom area for anything which was super nice. (I was also able to call ahead of time and since our room was ready I was able to check-in a little earlier so that I could decorate before everyone arrived, bonus!); Of course we had to swim with everyone and it was just fantastic. There was enough room for everyone plus other guests from the hotel. The arcade and pool tables were a big hit as well! The beds are so comfortable and clean that you just wake up refreshed. Then there’s the famous breakfast, which was nothing short of great to wake up to, there is absolutely everything you could want in their breakfast room! Thank you so much for making my sons 8th birthday party go smoothly and successfully!!

Breakfast could go a little later, it would have been nice to sleep a little longer, but couldn’t miss out on breakfast lol!

Solid facility with well-trained and competent staff. Bonus that it is adjacent to headquarters of a respected truck line in DSM. [Yes, their trucker's behavior is noted at such facilities, and misbehavior is not acceptable. Company rules.] As a result, the symbiotic relationship benefits all. Including us who fill out the rooms available. Points added for refillable soap and consumables containers. Breakfast steward highly professional.

Only fault was that TV remote failed, allowing only volume and on/off. Fortunately, Fox was innocuous at the time. Well, and the fact only sheer drapes at ground level parking disturbed me, movement there was not a problem on a Monday night.

Everything was PERFECT! Our room was immaculate--they even brought in a recliner for me since I'd had recent knee surgery. The breakfast was absolutely delicious every day. We stayed five nights. Nice clean pool and hot tub, bed was extremely comfortable, and the staff was wonderful.

The only "complaint" I had was that the pool was not monitored very carefully. There was supposed to be adult swimming only after 9 or 10, but it was always FULL of screaming kids. The quiet time was usually in between checkout and check in.
