Comfy Cozy

Our stay was great, other than a clogged bathtub drain and a drain stopper that wouldn’t lift in the extra sink. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was great! The beds were comfy and the room was clean.

HARI, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel exceeded our expectations! We pulled up and couldn’t believe how nice it was - way better than the pictures. The rooms were huge and clean and the bed was comfy! Room came complimentary with two free drinks a piece and free snacks in the evening. The lobby and bar / breakfast area was beautiful. Definitely will stay there again if we go back to Des Moines
Jenel, 1-night trip

Good area and accommodations were okay. Small beds. Called the front desk three times and housekeeping once and no one answered. I went down to the desk and three attendants were there just chatting.

Michelle, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Don’t bother

This hotel desperately needs to be updated. My room had a horrible musty smell, the toilet is made for a child and extremely hard to sit on, and having to go across the street to park is extremely inconvenient.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Acceptable

Parking is NOT FREE (my fault for not noticing). Furniture needs a good update. Tub had a rust. The TV was cutting out and the pool was COLD. Breakfast was decent. The free drink from the bar was so watered down we didn’t bother the second night. Location was good. Probably won’t choose to stay there again.

Great place
Gregory, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Futon dirty when I pulled it out to make up my bed. Wedding reception going on 2 floors below us till late at night so noise carried thru to our room. Loved the location (close to shops and restaurants and easy to get to car show at the fairgrounds) carpet in our room was frayed and needs replaced

The extra couch pull out was very uncomfortable and had no sheets to put on it. The room was freezing and we had no way to change the temp on the thermostat. The couch cushions were torn and had holes in it.

Jodie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Love ES but needs freshening up!

We LOVE Embassy Suites…but, the mattresses were *really bad* in our room. Also, everything seems a little “old” (nicks, wear and water stains on the furniture, stains on carpeting, rusted pool chairs, etc). It just doesn’t seem fresh. Of course, there’s a ROI when spending money on all new furniture and carpeting, etc. Embassy suites is our favorite chain-it fits our family perfectly and we travel a lot. They all just seem a little rundown. The staff was amazing-very friendly and accommodating. We love the manager’s reception and the breakfast (but no biscuits and gravy?!-maybe that was for the best for me…) PLEASE don’t let this hotel run into the ground. We do truly love it.
Rebekah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very attentive to all of our needs and even went out of their way for some extras. Amenities were excellent, free breakfast and complimentary drinks! No doors on shower makes for a watery mess.
Gregorio, 3-night trip

It was a great location for my son and I. We were a few minutes from Lutheran Hospital. Would stay here again.
Laura, 1-night trip

Staff went out of their way to check in on us, make sure we were enjoying our stay and to engage with our children.
