  • They had and amazing breakfast that was included!
  • Not enough parking close to the door.

“A top notch hotel. I felt safe and totally comfortable. The staff were everything you could ask for. They were great. I still can't believe what a nice breakfast they provided. I made my own waffle, and it was perfect!”

“Great interesting older hotel. Totally remodeled and VERY NICE. Staff was super great. This would be a great place for a quiet weekend away with a loved one. NOT great for business travel because of parking issues, and location. (we had a trailer).”

  • Great rooms, staff, restaurants, gym, pool, and a great location.
  • The bathroom in our room had recent updates, but not great work.

“We have stayed in this hotel several times, they are currently doing some upgrades and it has made the hotel even nicer. The hotel has a great "old original hotel" feel, with nice up-to-date touches.”

  • The lobby was nice.
  • The room was very small no cont. Breakfast.

“There is no way I would have given this hotel a 3 star. We stayed in a king room and it was just that a room with a bed enough room to go around the bed. The only breakfast they provide is buffet for 11.99 or you can order it to be delivered to your room. The bathroom was just as small and the toilet had its own problems.”

  • The room had two bathrooms which made it nice for everyone.

  • The staff was amazing and so was the room. I can't say enough positive things about the hotel.
  • The only thing I can think of is that the pool table area of the bar was very hot and couldn't be made cooler.

“I was thrilled with this hotel, the location, staff, facilities, breakfast, and the work out and pool areas. I stayed two nights, one in a renovated room and one in a room that had not been renovated yet (I had originally only planned on one night but liked it so much I cancelled my Hilton reservation and stayed in this hotel a second night). I had a hard time telling between the two except for the bathroom fixtures. Yes, the curtains were older and a little discolored in the un-renovated room but what would you expect? If they didn't need changed why would the hotel be renovating? The beds were big and cozy and the two baths per room made it very nice for sharing. The hotel is connected to a skywalk system that made movement around the city easy, inexpensive and yes, enjoyable. I will stay here any time I am headed to Des Moines or the surrounding area. Wow I had a wonderful experience.”

  • The linens were nice and the hotel is very convenient to downtown activities.
  • I felt we were given a room which was not suitable for two people. It was very, very small - with just a full size bed.

“We booked this room for two adults, assuming we would have at least one queen size bed and a chair or two. Not so. We were given a "European Style" room - which was approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. The room was dingy and the bathroom was dated. The shower went from very cold to very hot - evidently depending on others in the hotel using the water at the same time. The hotel was extremely noisy. Any talking or noise from inside a room was easily heard in the hallways and in adjacent rooms. I have stayed at this hotel before, and was pleased with it, but it seems a bit run down, and overall, it was a disappointment. We much prefer other nearby hotels, and will probably not stay there again.”

“I stayed here for one night with my wife on the way to another city. The room was comfortable, if not a little undersized. We had a pleasant stay and the food was pretty good. You can't go wrong with the location and quality of this hotel.”

  • Lobby was very nice.
  • Room still had restuff tapes to the walls from a party that was there in the past.

  • The staff was very friendly and helpful in fixing the problems we encountered.
  • The room they gave us originally was a double bed with approx. 1 foot on each side of the bed - Tiny!

“The hotel is beautiful, and most of the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The hotel still has some of its "original" rooms however that are the size of a small walk-in closet and can barely fit the double bed.”

  • Comfortable beds, although they were small (double).
  • Tiny room, wasted space on closet.

“Considers itself an upscale, Downtown old hotel, but cramped to the point of making us claustrophobic. Very nice staff. Compressors outside our window on roof and ventilation system above ceiling sounded like a freight train complete with periodic horn all night.”
