  • The location and the helpfulness of the staff.
  • It would have been nice to have some suite rooms.

“An upscale hotel in downtown Des Moines, with convenient skywalk connections to nearby attractions. Rooms are adequate for individual travelers and couples, but are probably a little small for families. The pool was attractive, but the water was a little too cold (although the hot tub made up for it!). The staff was outstanding. Every single staff member was polite, sincere, and helpful.”

  • Great location on Des Moines sky walk system.

“This is a Des Moines best hotel. It is a fine hotel with all the trimmings. It is kept fully maintained and is the hotel of choice when presidents or corporate leaders travel... and for important events, banquets and political meetings in Iowa.”

  • Comfort, convenience and luxury at an affordable price.
  • Parking was expensive.

“The rooms are spacious and inviting, the colors and fabrics exquisite. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were quiet. Every detail was attended to including natural bath and body products. The staff was helpful. I wish I could have stayed longer. I definitely will stay again.”

  • I wish I had known that parking and internet access would cost $30.

“The fact that parking added $17 and internet access added $12 combined to add $30 to the stay.”

  • No bath towels on 2nd day but we called and got them right away.

  • Location was great and the room was great. Beds were very comfortable.
  • Parking is not free. On the weekends, you can park at the parking garage across the street but otherwise it's valet parking at the hotel.

  • The rooms had been redone recently and were very nice & quiet. Staff was friendly.
  • Valet said we must use valet service at pay $17, when we pressed him we were told that the parking garage was free on weekends.

“The hotel and it's rooms were very nice but downtown Des Moines is dead on a Sunday morning with no where to eat breakfast.”

  • The valet staff, in particular, recognized us during our entire stay.
  • At times, the valet area was crowded. Hard to enter and exit.

“The staff went over the top to accommodate our requests. They delivered a fan to our room to help us in our quest for white noise. These were the valets and bellhops.”

  • Great location downtown. Clean spacious room, great price!
  • Wireless internet was only available in the lobby

“Nice hotel, great location, clean and spacious. Only fault I found was with the internet. Being in a downtown business location, Internet was available in individual rooms for a fee and internet was not wireless which was an inconvenience. Overall hotel was a great value for the location.”

  • Good location.
  • Expensive parking.

“This is a standard Marriott in a good location downtown. The moved the bar on the second floor, and I didn't care for the new location or design, but well. Overall I like staying downtown and it is an easy walk to the entertainment district. I prefer this hotel to the Savery, but the bar in the Savory is a lot more pleasant.”

  • Perfect in every way for our occasion.
  • The parking charge.

“This was one of the best hotel and value we may of ever had.”
