Nice hotel for the price
We spent Valentines weekend at the west des moines Marriott. It was definitely the nicest hotel I had ever stayed at. For the most part it was clean, very good service, close to shopping and restaurants, and we paid 139.99 for a king jacuzzi suite which I thought was reasonable. There are a few things that disappointed me. Note: I am very picky, so I really looked things over good. The cleaning lady left a dirty rag on the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi itself was in poor repair-it had a broken button and the front panel kept falling off. It did work ok though.Our bed had 1 foam pillow and the rest were nice feather pillows. I pulled back the duvet on the comforter and noticed a yellow stain, grated it was small, but that is still gross. The furnace in the room is quite loud when it kicks on and off. They wanted 4.50 for a bottle of Dasani water that was in the room. I thought that was very pricey for water. If you want a nice meal when visiting Des Moines, eat at Christopher's in Beaverdale. Great steaks, prime rib, romatic atmosphere.
