Comfortable stay in Des Moines
we stayed one night going and another night coming back from Kansas city to attend a funeral. There is plenty of parking by the entrance to unload. The desk clerk was friendly and helpfully told where to park right across the street for a couple of dollars. The hotel had a huge bar in the lobby that doubled as Starbucks in the mornings. Restaurant was also in the lobby. This hotel is next to the convention center and connects by an enclosed walkway. Downtown restaurants are very close and we could have easily walked except for the bitter cold. So we took an Uber. The room was nicely decorated, clean, with good linens and pillows. Everything in the room worked well, plenty of light and two chairs. Overall it was a good, comfortable stay.

Absolutely Gorgeous
The room was amazingly clean. All the staff that worked was very polite. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend my friends and family to stay at the downtown Hilton. Having the skywalk to get to the Wells Fargo arena was brilliant.

Great location. I was told the parking lot is full and I would have to park on the street (but there were open spots).
Outside at night, no security, beware if out at night alone.

The property is nice but front desk employees are not helpful. I changed my booking due to a concert reschedule and it took 45 minutes at check in to figure out how to fix it even though I had an email confirmation.
