The location is excellent, making it easy to explore downtown attractions on foot. The Two-Room King Suite was spacious and clean, providing comfort during my solo stay. The pool is a nice feature, open late for a relaxing dip. I appreciated the complimentary drinks during happy hour. 🍹

I loved the heated pool! Perfect for our family, but the dining options could use a bit of improvement. Also, the breakfast was just okay. Overall, a nice stay! 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed the warm hospitality and spacious two-room suite. The location was fantastic, making it easy to stroll to local attractions. The breakfast selection was delightful, offering fresh options that catered to various tastes.

Better access to parking would enhance the experience.

The King Suite with River View offered impressive views and a unique layout with separate living and sleeping areas for added privacy. The breakfast spread included a made-to-order omelet station and a great selection of fresh vegetables, which definitely stood out.

Some aspects felt dated. the vents were dusty, and one looked precariously close to falling off. The pillows lacked support, and the temperature control didn’t work well, leaving the room feeling a bit stuffy. Additionally, parking options were somewhat tricky, especially if you opted for the nearby ramp instead of the hotel's valet.

Had an awesome time with my friends! We visited the Simon Estes Riverfront Amphitheater for a concert and checked out the Blank Park Zoo. The rooms were comfy and clean, and we really enjoyed the breakfast and evening snacks. The staff was friendly, too!

One downside was that the manager didn't seem very friendly during our stay, which was a bit off-putting.

The Embassy Suites provided a pleasant stay with spacious rooms equipped with necessary amenities like a refrigerator and desk area, ideal for business purposes. The location along the river was excellent, giving easy access to local attractions and dining options. The complimentary breakfast included an array of options such as fresh pastries and a make-to-order omelet station, which complemented my busy mornings well.

While the hotel delivered a good experience overall, the check-in process was somewhat slow.

We enjoyed visiting the nearby Simon Estes Riverfront Amphitheater for an afternoon concert. The hotel is super close to diverse restaurants that were kid-friendly, and our children loved the spacious indoor pool, even with its strong chlorine! The staff was helpful and responsive to our needs.

In my kids’ opinion, there should be more fun activities geared toward families. A kids’ club or organized games would be a great addition.

i visited des moines again and had a lovely stay. the two-room king suite was spacious and had a great view of the river. the breakfast had fresh options, including delicious pastries and organic juices, which added a nice touch.

the elevator was a bit slow.

Great Location with Welcoming Staff!

Our stay was delightful! The front desk staff quickly accommodated our requests and the complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Kids loved the spacious suite, making it comfortable for our family. Pro tip, be sure to visit nearby restaurants for a variety of dining options.

I enjoyed the spacious layout of the Two-Room King Suite. The beds were comfortable and the separate living area offered great relaxation space. The complimentary breakfast included a fantastic omelette station and a wide selection of juices and pastries. It made mornings enjoyable. I was especially impressed by the warm pool, which was well-maintained and inviting. However, there were a few hiccups during my stay. Check-in took longer than expected, causing frustration. I noticed some areas needing attention, like the carpet having stains and the sofa bed not being in great condition. Additionally, some room amenities, like tissue paper, were lacking and weren't replenished during our stay. While the overall hospitality from staff was good, I encountered one front desk staff member who seemed unfriendly at times. The location is truly convenient for exploring downtown, too. The hotel has great potential, but improvements in cleanliness and service consistency would enhance the experience significantly.

Great breakfast and nice staff, but it gets loud at night.

Just a great match for a holiday in Des Moines with all in all brilliant value for money. The complimentary breakfast had plenty to choose from. Try to get down early for the best selection.

Great breakfast experience
