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."
