Comfy stay but improvements coulde be made.
Our room was nice and clean. King bed was comfortable. The blonde haired woman at the service desk was not very friendly, and she's the first person you see when you walk into the lobby. My husband had an accident in the bathroom and I asked for housekeeping to come clean the floors and toilet at 1pm while we were out. They only took out the trash, and I know this because I purposely left a chunk of hair in the middle of the floor from when I styled my hair for the wedding we were attending. The hot tub was not maintained well. Missing tiles and an off color. We expected a little more. The breakfasts were great, however.
All in all, the hotel is great. In our room, 602, the bedside table lamp needs replaced as the bulbs flicker and one shade was broken. We did report that as we recd a text asking how things were so far. Realized our toilet was stopped up in middle of the night, but didnt have a chance to tell anyone until check out. The shower water wasnt very warm and what was warm, didnt last very long.
The hotel was conveniently located to restaurants and the Civic Center.
The room and bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was really good… nice variety.
Helpful staff and covered parking.
As you scale the hotel food chain, you generally lose amenities as the price and star rating goes up. This is the best of both worlds. An affordable nightly rate in a hotel that feels luxurious, plus all the amenities you could want. Pool, hot tub, and a complementary breakfast. Not much more to ask for.
We enjoyed our visit! This is our second time staying. The first was a couple, the second was as a family. We liked our room with a balcony and the view of the river. Great location & breakfast. Only point of concern would be that half of the jets in the hot tub didn't work.
My stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites, downtown Des Moines, IA was very nice! I honestly don't remember the time I've had a better nights sleep at a hotel. Staff was very welcoming and professional and will most definitely stay here again!
Card keys kept messing up but staff was very friendly and on the ball to fix the issue - just minor issues in the daily situation - staff was always there to resolve the issue and didnt have any issues with them during it.
Customer service was not great. There were a lot of drunk college students knocking on doors and yelling all night and staff did nothing to stop the disturbance.
