The hotel needs a desperate remodel. bathroom had mold, breakfast was awful, hotel was dirty. requested items such as extra towels, roll away was never delivered. "Clean towel" had feces on it!!!! What a rip off. I paid way too much money for this experience. Could have done better at Motel 6 and saved hundreds of $$$!!!! Oh by the way , ...
The room was very nice but I can't say the same about the rest of the hotel. I work for a Hilton and know the standards on what is expected of an employee and no one lived up to the standards. We had lunch in the restaurant the day after we got there and both ordered salads. They took 45 minutes to come out and there were only 5 other people in ...

Terrible Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/04/08
The front desk staff was rude and acted like they could care less if I was there or not. The room was dusty and had cobwebs in it and I could swear I could hear rodents running through the vents all night long. I couldn't get a wink of sleep on the lumpy mattress. On a positive note I did get 10000 extra honors points when I complained to the General Manager.

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.

I will never go back

The description of the room was misleading. Champagne was not included as indicated in the price of the room.
The room was shabby. There was an empty glass sitting outside the door when we checked in - and was still there when we checked out. There was an empty cracker package under the table.
My Stay at Embassy Suites was fantastic! Everyone was very polite. The check in process was simple and I was in my room in 15 minutes. The room was spotless and I had a great view of the river! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a night out in the middle of Des Moines hotspots or a quiet romantic getaway.
