I expected better from for what I paid
Room could have been cleaner for what we paid. You can tell that they don’t clean under the beds. There are items, crumbs and dirt under and around the beds and in between the beds and nightstands. We stayed for 3 nights. The garbage cans are so small that it required being changed out the first night we were there and there was something sticky all over the bottom that the garbage bag was sticking to it. It also doesn’t have a microwave, which is pretty standard in most hotels these days. Even the more reasonably priced hotels. I also asked for an hour later checkout because I needed to go over to watch my daughter competing in an event and did not have time with her getting ready, to get my stuff together and out of the room. I was denied that extra hour of time. So after spending an insane amount of money for the weekend, I also had to miss my daughter competing. So thanks for that!!

Nice hotel if you don’t mind price gouging
Overall quality of the hotel was excellent. With the exception of the water pressure and shower door not being able to stay shu. Prices were outrageous for other amenities, such as, parking, vending machine food and drink. A can of Coke cost $5 from their grab and go pantry. It felt like they were taking advantage of their guests by price gouging everything.

The staff in the restaurant were terrific, as were the housekeeping personnel we encountered. However, there was blood on our comforter, and we had to ask twice before it was changed.

Hidden gem
Skyline suite is absolutely stunning. Almost apartment like. Parking was full but Des Moines has skywalks that lead to parking garages which make it convenient in the winter.

Great family visit
When we arrived we were greeted immediately and the gentleman let us know about our parking options. He also helped bring our bags, from a family of 5, up to our room and unloaded them all. I wish I would have grabbed his name!
