  I was in Des Moines on business. I had the pleasure of staying at this fine establishment. We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered. they had us ready to go t our rooms in a matter of minutes.
  The rooms were huge. I loved the fireplace and the exposed brick. The place was spotless. The bed was so comfortable. Huge windows.
  That night the business center was down and the staff helped us get our boarding passes for the next day's travel.  
  I had the complimentary breakfast the next morning and it was great. Had a Delicious omelet. It was a really good selection of items.
  If I ever have the pleasure of visiting the great city of Des Moines again, I will stay here.
  Loved it.

  So as a local and when you want to just have a night out on the town this place is fabulous!! Room 404 16 foot ceilings with windows to match. A fire place and one of the most comfy if not most comfortable beds I have ever stayed in at a hotel. The hotel also has one of the largest fitness centers that I have seen in any hotel in a long time with over ten pieces of equipment along with a sauna and steam room and a large whirlpool in the lower level. The breakfast which had a made to order omelet station was wonderful. Sherry the Bartender was great and definitely knows how to make a good martini! Even though the price is a bit high I totally think it is worth it!!

  I have stayed here twice now in the last two months, and I can only say that if this is the "best" Des Moines has to offer, it just emphasizes how bad the Des Moines experience can be!
  
  On my first visit, room is ok nothing special. They claimed they served a continental breakfast which was nothing but sugar-laden donuts and bad coffee. This second time around, they claimed they had a hot breakfast. Well let me tell you that powdered eggs and biscuits with gravy glue do not a breakfast make! My god those eggs had no taste - why bother serving this crap?
  
  For the room this time - well that was a treat. The hotel was sold out of the usual double rooms, and we were relegated to a fireplace suite. The bathroom was the size of my bedroom except that it was so misconfigured! There was a huge glass shower that they put in front of the massive jacuzzi tub that was on a 2 1/2 foot platform. It basically blocked access to the tub unless you climbed around the platform. But I was determined to have bath, so after it took an hour to fill the tub, I turned on the jacuzzi. It was the sound of a 747 with all engines on - an incredible rumbling that woke everyone!
  
  Great fireplace with timers you could set to 10 minutes, but of course I turned it on and thought there would not be any heat (to my surprise there was!) even though I had the air-conditioning on full force since it was about 90 degrees outside.
