Love Des Moines, love the river

Great location... near I-235, Locust/Grand, State Capitol, bus lines, chic retail, small restaurants, Museum, etc. Nor surprisingly, if hotel is full, services may not be as perfect as when it's not fully occupied.
Tremendous value for hotel dollar... Farmer's market on Saturday mornings nearby, cocktail hour (get there 5 minutes early!), complimentary hot breakfast, pool, HBO, exercise room, two-room suite for about a hundred bucks is the best buy anywhere. We visit twice/year and it's great value.
