Exceptional. Highly recommend. Parking was perfect. Front desk was hospitable, warm and welcoming. The gentleman who checked me in was very knowledgeable. He gave me options for quick exit and entry into the hotel, from the side doors, using my door key. Very clean hotel. Very quiet. I had a fourth floor room. Very well appointed. I absolutely love a walk-in shower. This room has a rain water showerhead. The breakfast was Delicious. The outdoor seating was pure serenity, overlooking a pond. I would stay here again & Again. I was pleased, comfortable, and felt valued from the moment I entered Best Western Premier Ankeny! The seafood restaurant next-door is a welcome respite for a delicious meal!
