Nice hotel if you don’t mind price gouging

Overall quality of the hotel was excellent. With the exception of the water pressure and shower door not being able to stay shu. Prices were outrageous for other amenities, such as, parking, vending machine food and drink. A can of Coke cost $5 from their grab and go pantry. It felt like they were taking advantage of their guests by price gouging everything.

Hidden gem

Skyline suite is absolutely stunning. Almost apartment like. Parking was full but Des Moines has skywalks that lead to parking garages which make it convenient in the winter.

Great family visit

When we arrived we were greeted immediately and the gentleman let us know about our parking options. He also helped bring our bags, from a family of 5, up to our room and unloaded them all. I wish I would have grabbed his name!
