9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,008 reviews)

Room: very nice and roomy for a downtown hotel room. Clean and comfortable. Shower drained slowly, but made up for with its modern new feel. Tried coffee from Hobnob, comparable prices to other nearby coffee shops and very nice atmosphere. Tried desserts from the other on-site restaurant- resort priced, but gorgeous presentation and delicious! Common areas classy and clean, too! Parking was easy and very reasonable ($10/nt self park in the Nationwide garage and attached to hotel by skywalk). We walked a lot downtown and everything was remarkably clean…sidewalks, entire garage, elevators, streets…definitely caught our attention. Toured the capitol for free, 90 minute captivating your, the building is a must see if you’ve got the time. Also did the Salisbury House tour, great tour guide and an interesting tour if you like house tours. Loved our first visit to Des Moines, in large part to this conveniently located, comfortable and clean hotel.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (922 reviews)

We stayed at this property for the first time. Unfortunately, we didn’t get in until late, so we didn’t get as much time to spend here. Typically I don’t do a review but I didn’t want to pass up the chance. If you are debating if you should stay here….I at BOOK IT! This was one of the very best places I have ever stayed. It was a beautiful facility, very clean and well-kept. I left feeling like I can’t wait to visit again! In fact, we decided to stay and extra night, but there were not open room, so we had to move another hotel….and I was sad because this other hotel (newer and more expensive) was horrible. This one set the bar pretty high, so it is no wonder we didn’t like any other one we went to. The only thing I didn’t care for was the pillows. My husband slept great and really thought all was exceptional. Give it a try….I think you will be very pleased! Thanks for a great stay!

They do have on site parking, but if you cannot get a spot outside you have to go to the basement and it is very cramped. Taking a truck or suv down there is not easy. It would not be for everyone, especially inexperienced drivers.
