My wife and I have stayed here twice in the last month. We sought it out, mostly, to enjoy the thoroughbred racing but were pleasantly surprised by all of the accommodations. The property itself is very well maintained and parking was no problem. The hotel is new and as such is very pleasing to the eye. The front desk personnel... More

From the outside, it looks nice, but not really special. But from the moment you walk in, you see how nice it really is. Our room was very nicely appointed with a separate bedroom with king size bed,. A living area had a couch that pulled out into a twin bed and a nice flat screen TV. There also was... More

My husband and I travelled to Ankeny for a birthday party. We decided to stop here for a little gambling. There was some entertainment in the form of a band playing by the large windows overlooking the track. They were pretty good so we decided to stay and watch them. Since it was late we called over to the hotel... More

Nicely appointed rooms although I would have expected for a new build the bathrooms would have been larger, as would the sleeping rooms for a casino environment.

Being I have traveled to Des Moines before I was looking for a place that was safe, clean, and affordable. The hotel where the wedding was... More

So you get a terrific room, staff who are very courteous, good food.and no worries about having to drive home. The hotel is new and nice. The views are not great, but the price is right and... More

I recently stayed here for a conference and loved the place. The hotel is very inviting and clean, the rooms were beautiful and spacious. Each room has a fridge and Keurig coffee maker. The first night we ate at the buffet, which was actually pretty good considering we didn't eat until 8:30 at night. I was very impressed with the... More
