America's Best Inn is located at the intersection of two major US Interstate Highways, which has made Des Moines a stable hospitality market and business community, with a metropolitan population of over 500,000. Fortune 500 company Principal Financial Group has anchored a large insurance services presence in the city, such as Marsh, EMC Insurance Group, Allied and Amerus Group to name a few.  Both Hy-Vee and Kum and Go are headquartered in Des Moines and large operations from Wells Fargo, ING Group Electronic Data Systems, John Deere, UPS and Blue Cross Blue Shield help to contribute to the strong growing economy of Des Moines. 

Zane Varvel of WHI said "We have seen the investment market change dramatically over the last two years and are very encouraged by the activity of buyers with strong banking relationships still making strategic acquisitions.  It is a pleasure working with Warmbrodt Hotel Investments to better serve our clients through all points in the real estate cycle."

WHI represented the seller, KCCT, Inc. in the purchase by a local investor. The property will undergo substantial interior and exterior renovations.  The new owners are negotiating with two national chains for conversion.
