Staff was super nice. Room was very clean. We really enjoyed our stay. If I had to be picky I would say don't get the pizza from the attached restaurant, it's terrible.

So convenient to the convention center. Also, the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The man that checked me in, knew a lot about the area including cost of parking. He was very helpful.

It was clean, the beds were comfortable & it was convenient for an event at the Wells Fargo arena. The Parking garage under the hotel was awful to park in.

The room was large, clean, and well furnished. We were able to get adjoining rooms with our daughter and her kids for a fun time in Des Moines. We arrived on Friday and we were able to park in the lot next to the hotel. It was only about half full and the spaces were large enough. The only difficulty was figuring out what to enter and where to enter it when we entered the lot the first time. Place the room key card against the flat pad. Don't try to put it in the slot like we did the first time. Of course, it would have been better if parking was not an additional $30 per day.

It was a really nice hotel, was a little bustling with events going on and staff was friendly. Everything was well and seemingly clean other then a pizza box was left in our mini fridge. We threw it out ourselves. We didn't bother making a fuss or caring much cause we didn't stay in the room other then to sleep and to get ready, but would probably stay again because of the skywalk convenience and nice atmosphere walking through.
