Had a conference in early May at this hotel and enjoyed the stay. There were some extemes in the level of service, however. Starting with the positive, the concierge lounge is excellent with a very attentive staff and fantastic food and beverage. The location is also very nice and the views from upper floors are great. On the negative side,... More

We stayed here 2 nights for a convention in early June 2013. When we arrived at the airport, we called about the shuttle, were told it was outside. 7 minutes later when we got outside it was gone. (We later learned it runs on a schedule.) We called back, asked when the next one was expected, were placed on hold... More

We stayed overnight at the Des Moines Marriott and found our stay to be a very comfortable experience. We parked our car ourselves in the garage across the street from the hotel. We ended up saving about $10 over what it would cost to have the car valeted at the hotel. The garage and hotel were connected via the Skywalk... More

We attended a convention at this hotel in April. Our room was clean, the workout facility nice. There is a small pool and hot tub. The breakfast buffet in the morning was wonderful. Made to order omelets along with a nice buffet selection. We were walking distance to the Science Center which provided our family a wonderful experience. The staff... More

Marriott has a very consistent product, and this property is no exception. Good service, clean and modern rooms but nothing overly luxurious. Pricing was standard for this category of lodging, but charging for internet service is a turn off; even EconoLodge can offer complimentary wireless. Immediate neighborhood is very quiet after dark, but the Court Avenue entertainment district is within... More

The hotel is good enough although the neighboorhood is really depressing. After 8 o’clock in the evening the streets are “dead”. I wouldn’t call this Downtown, I miss the atmosphere. The hotelroom is good, clean and has a good bathroom. I missed the mini bar. The reception at the hotel is efficient and quick, checking in in 3 minutes (checking... More

I wrote a review back in 2009 and have stayed a few times since so wanted to update my opinions. The renovations are complete and the hotel is much nicer. They added a bar area in the lobby that is a wonderful place to gather. The rooms are tastefully re-done and represent the brand well. The valet is quick and... More

We stayed at the downtown Marriott and did not consider this an upscale hotel, The staff was very friendly and helpful and the lobby was very modern and welcoming. The room was clean and the bed was ultra comfortable however the rooms were not very sound proof. We heard every door close on our wing of 8-10 rooms and almost... More

Very nice hotel. The rooms are a standard Marriott. Good availability of internet and power receptacles. Tv is nice and big. The bar scene is almost non existen, as is the restaraunt. I guess the prices drive people away, no deals or Happy Hour. Kinda sad, not even one person at 5:30pm in either. Actually it looked like their restaraunt... More
