• Nicely decorated. Comfortable beds, clean most staff very friendly and helpful.
• Had a hard time finding it.

“The hotel was really nice, we did have a hard time finding it though, it was in the middle of the block on a one way street we expected it at a corner from the address, but now that we know where it is we will mostly likely stay again.”

• We had 2 bathrooms and the rooms were spacious! The staff was great.
• Trash cans need to be bigger. Need bigger mirror.

“The staff was great and we had small kids they brought us up a bigger trash can gave us extra towels and even came up and vacuumed the mess the kids made after dinner. The rooms were very roomy and I loved having the second bathroom.”

• Walking distance to local bars, clubs, and nightlife, a number of good restaurants within walking distance also.
• The room was noisy, was woken up by the family next to me at 5:30 am with the alarm going off every 10 minutes, then a crying baby for the next 2 hours.

“Hotel, great location, great staff, walking distance to the nightlife of the city. Very clean, nice pool and hot tub area. rooms are very nice and the lobby is very upscale. At time parking can be an issue but worth the trouble. I have stayed here almost a dozen times and always been a great stay. Had only one stay that was just ok and that was not the hotels issue it was with the guests in the room next to mine.”

• Very nice amenities although I was unable to make use of them.
• Elevators are very slow. But then it is an old hotel.

“Great service, friendly and very clean in the middle of down town Des Moines, within walking distance of many great restaurants and bars.”

• It was very clean and I thought all of the staff was very nice.
• The front desk clerk on checking in could have been a little more accommodating.

“A room with 2 full size beds and 2 bathrooms. I would have preferred a queen or king bed. Room was close to a noisy ice machine which woke me up at 5am and too close to the elevator. The Olympics were on so it was nice to watch in the lounge where there was a big screen TV and enjoy good drinks.”

• Location downtown can't be beat!
• Every time I go to the Savery the beautiful front lobby smells like bleach.

“This is my favorite hotel to stay at in Des Moines. It is close to Farmer's Market, Civic Center and Events Center. I stayed two nights and my room was a huge corner room (suite) on the top floor. I have stayed at the Savery dozens of times and I am always pleased with my visit. Try out the new wine bar on Court Avenue Sbrocco. Other great places close by are Centro, Splash and Racoon River. In the winter you can walk in Skywalks to stay warm. Also, ask hotel desk how to get to East Village close by and really eclectic shops and Restaurants.”

• The high-speed Internet worked.
• I did not like anything about this hotel.

“When we went to the room the attendant had assigned, the key given to me would not unlock the room door. Then, a person opened the door from the inside. It became apparent that the attendant had directed us to the wrong room. Also, whenever we went the front desk to ask for help, there was never anyone there. The room we ended up taking was a handicapped-accessible room, which is not a problem except that the shower was not contained.”

• The amenities in the room were wonderful.
• Had to pay for parking.

“The staff was very friendly and upgraded our room, so we still had a king sized bed and the kids had a hide-a-bed. There was a small kitchen, wonderful bedding and great amenities like robes! We really enjoyed our stay!”

• Loved the location and the beds were really comfortable with lots of pillows.
• Bathroom was very small. Food and drink prices were very high.

“Had a great weekend and would stay there again. We were able to park free in the parking garage across the street. Hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Did not have a complimentary breakfast. You could order food but the prices were very high. Location was perfect, right downtown.”

• Room was large, and had two bathrooms.
• The carpet in the hallway wasn't clean, and the TV was older with volume problems.

“Very nice, quiet hotel. Loved the location, as we like to be downtown and within walking distance of Court Avenue and Principal Park. We were given a beautiful, large bedroom that had two bathrooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bedding was nice, and the beds comfortable. Loved the decor.”

• Staff put two cribs (real cribs) and a fridge in our room for no additional cost.
• I left my toiletries bag at the hotel and when I called housekeeping they never returned my call.

“This is an older hotel that has a few updates, but still feels outdated in some ways (the bathroom is a good example). The staff was excellent and the value was very good. We would stay at this hotel again, but we wouldn't want to pay more than we did.”
