Iowa : Vacances romantiques

Très bel hôtel chaleureux. La chambre et la salle de bains étaient très propres. L'état général était ok. L'hôtel est à proximité des restaurants. Le petit déjeuner est bien fourni. Le seul bémol, lors de notre premier jour le petit déjeuner avait mis sous clé à 8h30 alors que les horaires sont jusqu'à 9h30 en semaine. La laverie ne fonctionnait pas aussi. Comme la plupart des hôtels le ménage n'est pas fait tous les jours.

The Staybridge Suites was easy to find and conveniently located between downtown Des Moines and the Iowa State Capitol. Check-in was friendly and efficient. Parking was available in the multi-storey car park next door for $20 per night. My room was a good size, with modern décor and a useful kitchenette area. The reception staff were also very helpful in directing me to the nearby pickup point for the shuttle bus to the Iowa State Fair. The impressive State Capitol is well worth visiting and only a 10–15-minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding area was very quiet during my stay, although this was on a Sunday evening. There were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but most were largely deserted that evening. Breakfast was served downstairs and offered a good selection of both hot and cold items. Overall, this was a peaceful and convenient place for an overnight stay in Des Moines. I am not sure there would be enough in the immediate area to occupy me for more than a couple of nights, but it suited my visit very well.
