“UNUSUAL DESIGN”

Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

Stayed one night en route from Iowa to Chicago. Hotel is built around a very large full height atrium with a waterfall feature at one end feeding into a stream at the bottom. The corridors for the rooms overlook the atrium and have relatively low balconies. Anyone with fear of heights may want to stay on lower level floor. The... More

“Embassy Suites Des Moines”

Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

The hotel is beautiful with a waterfall in the lobby area. The room was huge and luxurious and very quiet. We didn't hear any noises from other rooms. The pool area is lovely and the hot tub was just the right temperature. The breakfast had everything you could imagine and was excellent. They even have a chef that cooks eggs... More

Comp breakfast is delicious and well managed. Reasonable parking fee + plenty of street... More

“Nicest Hotel”

This was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in by far. We had the 2 bedroom family suite which was wonderful for us. We traveled here for the Missouri Valley Conferance and have 4 year old twins. The space gave us the opportunity to spread out and not feel crammed into a small hotel room. The pool was warm,... More

“Excellent stay”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

our trip was a weekend outing on Mothers day. The staff and accommodations were excellent. The only down side was one elevator was not operable during a full hotel but I am sure this was not for long.

Dear Don Z; Thank you for the great review - we are in the process of doing a complete renovation of our elevators and unfortunately this will take some time due to the complexity of the process, however, once all completed, we will offer even better service for all of ou guests!

“Wonderful updated hotel in the heart of downtown Des Moines!!”

We stayed here for just one night on May 17, as we were going to be doing the MS walk that started just a few blocks up at the State Capitol the next morning. We stayed in this hotel last two years ago and all I can say is that it is night and day difference between now and then!!... More

“Confortable Beds, Nice Staff, Excellent Breakfast”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

This is a well maintained, well managed Embassy. Even though there was a million junior high kids staying there, the management and staff was well prepared and we did not have any issues with noise or behaviors. Last minute booking so price was a bit much...but we needed to be downtown by 7 am, and we could not beat it.... More

A "sweet" place to say - great location, beautiful views. It is located right on the river and near the capitol building. The service was incredible and the complimentary breakfast was wonderful - something for everyone.
