Great experience. Great staff, great room​ and breakfast.
Parking is a big hassle downtown, expensive to park your car overnight or with valet. This is the main reason I would not choose this hotel again. Staff was very nice, room was ok a little bare bones for a Hyatt. Ordered coffee at the front and no cream available, a small thing but really, no cream at a coffee kiosk.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt Place mainly because of the personable customer service.
It was great overall experience just had a few new people it seemed. The worked hard to get it right.
Excellent staff. Very friendly and professional staff.
Hotel wa very clean and modern. Breakfast was a let down. Buffet was stocked but hot food was not kept very hot. Overall we would stay again
The hotel was wonderful, although I wasn't expecting to have to pay for parking when I arrived. The staff at this hotel was amazing. The night shift manager was doing 5 people jobs with a smile and making it look easy! He deserves a raise. We came back from a concert and orders food , he was quick and helpful. The room was very nice and the beds were extremely comfortable !
Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious!
Overall stay was nice. We were in town for a play so the location couldn't be beat. Staff were courteous and room was clean.
I loved staying here! Staff were excellent, friendly and overwhelmingly helpful. I was met at the curb and offered valet parking, which I recommend as parking appeared to be at a premium. I was provided with directions to the Event Center then given a ride there and back even after I was checked out in the morning. I had some difficulty finding the hotel downtown at sunset but once found I would definitely go back!
Staff was super friendly. In town for a wedding, very nice hotel and stay. Only downside half the cable channels weren't coming through, breakfast was good but not excellent. But will definitely be staying here again when we're in Des Moines!!!! Great having 24 hr food options and Starbucks/bar option.
The hotel is nice and the staff was great, but we couldn't sleep because the streets are very loud. Kept hearing cars/motorcycles revving their engines all night. (2 nights in a row)
the place was centrally located....Simple, no frills but clean and the room was a nice size and the staff was great
We stayed here the night of a concert downtown and were able to walk via sky walks to the concert all indoors. Nice, clean room. Great breakfast served on real china.
This hotel was very accomadating with valet parking, free shuttle service, and great staff. When asked, staff gave great recommendations for restaurants. The free breakfast was fabulous.
The customer service was incredible from the moment I was greeted by the valet, through the check in process, and all throughout our stay. The room was extremely clean and very comfortable in size. The breakfast that was included had a wide variety and was fresh. The pool was pretty small, but that would be the only thing that I could say was less than perfect. The location is fantastic and is connected to the skywalk system so made it easy and comfortable to get around in the cold temperatures. We appreciated the valet service for the car and the shuttle service that was available to take us to an event. I will definitely go back and stay again.
Good value good stay. Will definitely stay there the next time. I'm in Des Moines. Staff was extremely helpful and the rooms were nice and spacious. Onl
Large room with large bathroom and closet. The corner desk, large sectional sofa, and coffee/dressing area with mirror completed the room. Exercise room with pool in the basement was easily accessible. Breakfast is wonderful with lots of healthy options, including oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, and fresh fruit.
The hotel staff was very friendly, breakfast was amazing and really hit the spot. Glad to see plenty of options including french toast, eggs wtih spinach and tomatoes, pancakes, sasuage, fresh fruit and much more. The room was amazing and loved how close it was to down town. With it being pricier I wouldn't do it for an average stay but since we were going out for a big night on the town it was worth the splurge.
This hotel is a welcome addition to the downtown hotel lineup! It's my go-to-hotel now. The rooms are always clean and huge! The staff is amazing and its walking distance to everything you could need downtown!
