Element West Des Moines Hotel

1. Really good breakfast variety, saltwater pool relaxation, spacious kitchenette setup

1. Inconsistent housekeeping, disruptive noise from nearby establishments, slow check-in process

I loved staying in this modernbrand-new hotel. Outstandingly accommodating and amicable staff who were always there to help. The room with tv. Everything was simply modern.

Fairly clean, brand-new hotel, I greatly enjoyed large rooms and affable staff. The breakfast was excellent, they served it at the lounge area. Location: the property was really close to a good restaurant and grocery shop and coffee shops. The service here was great. In addition, free Wi-Fi and free parking were available.

Mixed feelings about this

Really good staff provided a lovely breakfast with great options! The lobby's inviting design adds to the overall charm!

Noise from Wellman's Pub was disruptive at night. Housekeeping was not consistent, leaving the room with noticeable issues.

Great breakfast with unique offerings

The made-to-order pancakes were delicious, and the variety in options provided a great start to my day. The saltwater pool was also a nice feature. The noise from nearby bars made it tough to get a good night's sleep.

The saltwater pool was refreshing, while the room cleanliness was lacking .

The breakfast options were excellent, with made-to-order pancakes that were delicious. The kitchenette in my room was convenient for quick meals. I enjoyed the refreshing saltwater pool during my downtime. A pleasant experience .

The hotel had a bright lobby that welcomed me right away. The breakfast offered fresh options, especially the pancakes, a good treat. I appreciated the availability of complimentary coffee and tea throughout my stay, helping me stay energized. The room was spacious and had a nice kitchenette setup, but there were a few issues. I dealt with inconsistent housekeeping. Cleaning staff missed a couple of requests for towels. The noise from the nearby bar interrupted my sleep on the first night. Check-in took longer than expected. I think there's a great vibe here with friendly staff, but improvements are needed in managing noise levels and housekeeping consistency.

Dog-friendly environment, Saltwater pool, On-site fitness facilities

Noise disturbances from Wellman's Pub really got annoying on both nights!!! Check-in process is painfully slow!!! Housekeeping needs consistency to prevent guests from checking in to less-than-clean rooms!!!

The hotel has an inviting courtyard area with outdoor seating. The shower had poor water pressure.

The 24/7 complimentary coffee and tea setup kept me energized throughout my stay, especially after those unexpected late-night disturbances. Enjoyed the saltwater pool with a nice getaway from the chaos was good.

The noise from Wellman's Pub was a major downside. Late-night revelries often interrupted my sleep, particularly during my second night. Room cleaning standards left much to be desired since housekeeping seemed sporadic-had to request clean towels multiple times during my four-night stay. Received the wrong type of room despite clear communication beforehand.

The lobby area was bright and beautiful and breakfast was above average, especially the fresh food. The staff were always friendly and helpful .

This staycation at the hotel was amazing! I slept like a baby in the super comfy bed, and the room had a nice little kitchenette, made things easy. The shower was fantastic, and i loved that fresh breakfast every morning.

the noise level from nearby events was disruptive.

check-in took forever literally! but the fitness center was legit, had a wii for the kids, and breakfast had fresh pancakes which were awesome!

I stayed in the Standard King room, and the bed was super comfy. The kitchenette was handy for quick meals, but the room cleaning was a bit lacking, with some greasy handprints on the windows. No chairs in the kitchenette area either, a bummer. It had a nice vibe, but those cleanliness issues were distracting.
