10/10 Exceptional

I had a very nice stay with my little granddaughter. She loved everything about the room! The hotel was great walking access to lots of great night life and places to eat, as well as the Saturday downtown farmer's market.

8/10 Very good

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.

Des Moines Go To Spot... Great parking situation
Phil, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Meh

I waited about 10 minutes at the front desk to check in because no one was at the front desk. Another guest even commented "they" were always gone. I tried calling an operator but it still only rang the hotel front desk. The only rooms available were the suites this weekend. There was no hot water, only fluctuations between cold and tepid water.

1-night trip

4/10 Fair

At check-in we were not told that 2 hotels share the parking ramp and it makes a difference which entrance you use to attempt access to the hotel. After reloading the vehicle and moving it to the "correct" area, we were able to follow the winding path to our room. The room was clean and cool and comfortable. No internet access made the free Wi-Fi useless until Saturday AM. Showers were a completely random experience. No hot water for about the first 5-6 minutes Saturday morning, then numerous slugs of air from most of the faucets, AND then I got water warm enough to take a quick shower. My wife used it almost immediately after I did and she ran out of hot water. Sunday started out better, water much hotter much faster, but once again one quick shower was about all the hot water available. At check-out, no one asked how our stay was, or mentioned that there is problem with the infrastructure, or even asked which room we were checking out of. Not worth the cost and I will have think twice about the value of Marriott properties going forward.
Bill, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel with walking distance to restaurants, and entertainment venues.
Emily, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We picked this hotel since it was close to the marathon start/finish line. We’re coming back next June for the Ironman and staying for the same reason. The only downside was the pool was too chilly. Love the location though!
Katie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a good river view and the room was spacious and complete. The stay was enjoyable. The only minor issue is that we could not check in until 3 pm.
