  • Nice staff and clean accommodations.
  • Slow internet service.

“Beautiful hotel. Great location, quiet, clean. The only complaint that I have was that the two lobby computers were extremely slow! I overheard several guests complaining about the speed and availability. Over-all great stay!”

  • Very quiet in room, friendly staff and close to shopping.

“This hotel has a great location for all Des Moines area attractions. Beautiful lobby, with a five story waterfall, nice lounge and restaurant. They offer computers for public use and ice and pop machines on each floor. There is a lounge on the tenth floor. Glass elevators allow you to enjoy your ride to each floor. Open air lobby allows you to view the restaurant from any floor, looking up or down ten floors. Very quiet in the rooms. Can't even hear your own toilet flush. Large rooms. The only thing bad I can say about the room we had, was that it was a non-smoking room, but it had been smoked in and the staff could not get the smell out of the room.”

  • The location.
  • The beds were not firm enough for us but otherwise everything was awesome.

“Very clean and courteous staff. We never ate at the restaurant in the hotel so we were not able to judge it.”

  • Nicely appointed rooms and ample workout equipment in the fitness areas.
  • I was unaware the lounge/restaurant were closed for remodeling.

“The open interior with waterfall of several stories and glass elevators are a nice touch. The front desk, housekeeping, and room service staff was very personable and helpful. Room decor was tasteful and simply elegant as well as comfortable.”

“We enjoyed our stay at this hotel, we did not eat there, the food seemed to be a bit pricey.”

  • Quiet rooms, and nice beds.
  • No refrigerator, small pool, and expensive food.

“This hotel was everything that we needed, good sleeping facilities, and pool for the kids. The food was expensive, so we ate out. There were plenty of restaurants close by to choose from. It would have been nice to have a kids eat free with paying adults for the breakfast buffet.”

  • Room was nice and comfortable.
  • The comfort of the room was hindered due to the noise from the lobby/bar area.

“Overall, the hotel was very nice and well kept. The service we received was very pleasant and friendly, but the staff member's did not seem very knowledgeable and made a few minor errors when checking in, nothing serious and the fact that they were very customer friendly outweighed the flaws. The room continued to meet our expectations and was very well put together, and I will say the nicest hotel room I have stayed in. Unfortunately the awe of having such a great room was ruined when we sat down to relax and realized that you could hear everything going on in the lobby. The lounge area seemed to be very busy since it was a Friday night, which is to be expected but the door to the room should have provided some sound isolation from the conversations being had in the lobby. Needless to say we were unable to sleep until the lounge closed. Also, we were visiting on a Friday evening and woke up on Saturday morning to find that there is no complimentary breakfast because it is only offered Monday-Friday. We were traveling through so a simple continental breakfast would have made the stay somewhat more positive. Overall the only memorable feature of this hotel is that it is well put together and has a great look and feel, when it comes to comfort and being taken care of they need to make improvements to isolate the lobby noise and make an effort to keep the customer happy from check in to check out.”

  • Clean, friendly and fun.
  • Too many loud kids running up and down the hall.

“Everything was pretty great. I would highly recommend the hotel. The only thing I would really change is the size of the pool.”

  • Upscale, clean and nice accommodations.
  • No free internet for a pricey hotel.

“The pool was closed for renovations, which was a disappointment. The accommodations were very nice, the bed very comfortable and what a beautiful view of the sunrise!”

  • All carts were in use and no bellman on duty, however, the desk clerk helped me with my bags.
  • One of the elevators was being worked on and it made for long lines.

  • Cost of room service.

  • Rooms were nice & delicious coffee from the restaurant.
  • Pool was too cool; food was good, but restaurant ran out of food for thanksgiving day meal.

“The hotel itself was very nice and impressive. I think it would be wonderful for a conference or business or leisure. But we were traveling with small children and other families with small children. It would have been nice to have an enclosed space for the children to play and the adults to visit.”

  • The staff and location.
  • The in-room coffee was terrible, actually all the coffee was not good.

“Very nice hotel, very nice stay.”
