Element West Des Moines
The Element West Des Moines offers a range of amenities including a bar/lounge, gym, pool, restaurant, and a spa tub. Additionally, it is pet-friendly and has an electric car charging station.
We enjoyed the lobby and patio with the hot tub, but the indoor pool was too cold and there were not enough towel bars to hold wet towels for re use. Rooms need updating. The beds were comfortable, but the other seating was very in adequate.
The room was wonderful. just be careful to book with them. I accidentally got on the Book site. The best thing was not that wall unit that has the annoying blowing sounds. I finally slept great at a hotel! Thank you.
Clean and organized Hotel.
Nice room, very clean with a kitchenette. Free breakfast was amazing!
