Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great check-in experience, staff very friendly and knowledgeable. While this hotel is an older property the only place it was noticeable was the bathtub in our room. Other than that it is a beautiful place to stay and very comfortable. Great social hour in the evenings and breakfast buffett in the mornings, both complimentary with your stay. Due to the decor of the hotel common area you actually feel like you are at a tropical resort."

Skyline Serenity 2BR/2BA with Stunning City Views

8/10 Good

"The unit itself was very clean, large, and had everything needed for an extended stay. The apartment and hallway felt very safe and secure. Owner was incredibly responsive and helpful. The public lobby area of the building and the elevators have much to be desired when it comes to upkeep and cleanliness. There was unclaimed delivery food left over the weekends, I experienced a sewage/garbage like smell in the lobby area and limited building staff to mitigate lobby and elevator cleanliness. It’s a busy building. No doorman or concierge. Appreciated the fob for elevator safety. Again, unit was very, very nice. I might suggest refreshing the towels that were worn and adding written directions about where/how to dispose of the garbage. There is a parking garage across the street accessible through the above ground walkway. Good downtown location. Very nice view of the Capitol, lots of light in the living area and darkening shades in the bedrooms. Stackable washer and dryer, comfortable bed, and well equipped kitchen were appreciated. Lots of dogs in the building. My dog did well there and there are many walkable areas nearby. Very responsive unit ownership."
