The hotel bellmen and shuttle service was outstanding. The guys took our group to the Iowa State Fair, as well as to a restaurant one of them recommended. Great service and very much appreciated. The hotel is very nice, very clean and has a nice restaurant in the lobby. The rooms were very clean, quiet and came with daily housekeeping service. The valet parking is a bit pricey, but there is a parking garage next door which is reasonable for self-park. Excellent place to stay in Des Moine.

The stay was fine. The beds are very hard and some people like hard beds but I prefer a cushy bed. The room was pretty clean but there were some hairs scattered about. In my opinion this was an average Marriott in which I consider Marriott to be higher end. This hotel would be more appropriately branded as a four points. The people are nice, room service and food was good, but asked for some utensils and took them 2 hours to bring to the room. I had already gone down to the coffee shop and grabbed some bagged utensils. Shuttle driver Jeff was the star of the show. He was amazing, took us to the fair and airport. Very nice guy, reliable and had tons of information. Food is lacking in the area on a weekend, but the hotel food was good. Probably wouldn’t stay here again though because of nothing open on the weekends and the hard beds.

I traveled for work and the staff was friendly from beginning to end. Each person, from valet to front desk were pleasant to work with. The rooms were not carpeted, and instead had linoleum wood flooring, which I was fine with and honestly preferred. Bathrooms were clean, and the area was easy to walk to and from the events center. I'd stay here again.
