The staff were very friendly, especially the breakfast crew. The rooms were clean but were showing their age. The couch was pretty worn but the beds were very comfy. It was a pleasant stay

Great overnight in Des Moines!
A friend and I attended a Sponge Bob rave at Wooly's in Des Moines. The room was large, spacious and clean. It had a table, three sinks and plenty of sitting room. It was more than we imagined. We enjoyed the happy hour and free breakfast the next morning.

Better than you Omaha downtown property.
It was a great stay , much better than our previous two nights at the downtown Embassy Suites. On problem I had with both areas is having to pay parking. At least the Des Moines property was covered. The breakfast st the Des Moines location was superb.

Great value!
We were in town to explore the area that we are moving too in a couple months. Our stay at Embassy Suites in Downtown DSM heightened our excitement for our move! We loved how spacious the room was, we loved having drink vouchers for the evening and a great breakfast featuring a made to order omelette bar. The shower and bathroom counter space were very spacious. We had friends visit our suite to chat after dinner and they were impressed with the amount of space and comfort of the room. We will be recommending this hotel to friends and family that come to visit us in our new home.

It was fine there were some issues but was resolved i would stay here again.
Dusty, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed my stay with my family. It was clean and the staff was great. I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff kept the area clean. The only downfall was that in the atrium kids were playing football and soccer almost hitting my child. A staff member did tell them to stop but as soon as she left they continued. Overall we had a good experience and would come again.
