The hotel staff were very nonchalant and very uncaring. We paid over $400 to stay Saturday night. The TV had no remote and didn't work. They never got it fixed nor did they offer any kind of compensation in fact they were belligerent at midnight. The lady at the front desk fingernails were so long she couldn't change the batteries in the remote. She also wouldn't allow me to change the batteries in the remote. This is a reflection of the leader ship. While looking for the remote in the room, we found moldy rotten food under the bed. Disgusting lights in the bathroom see photos.

This hotel is clean, comfortable, and centrally located. It is right near a trendy restaurant district which is a great plus. It is also has a scenic view of the riverfront and the capitol building. The rooms are large with great amenities. The breakfast is the standard Hampton Inn fare--I don't find much difference from place to place. The parking garage adjacent charges $20 for the day--and you can come and go as you please without further charge. The garage is located so that you can go directly into your floor without going down to the lobby of the building. I'd stay here again in a minute.

We stayed five nights, while in town for the National Senior Games. We loved the location. Easy access from parking garage to hotel. We had a king suite with river view. Great view of river(4th floor) plenty of room for the two of us to spread out and be comfortable. Room was very quiet, but could hear and see the occasional train-fun-not annoying. Maid service came twice during our stay to empty trash and refresh towels. Breakfast was the typical Hampton Inn spread, crowded but never out of anything. Location was great, easy walking to restaurants and farmers market. If ever in Des Moines again this would be my go to stay.

We stayed in this hotel on our last night of four nights in the area and I was worn out. We pulled into the parking garage next to the hotel just as a huge thunderstorm hit the city. It was very nice to be able to walk straight from the garage into the hotel. We were given a room with a river view. The room was very large and had an updated large bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. When we woke up in the morning, we went into the lobby and found a huge assortment of breakfast items. The part of the lobby where you sit to have breakfast is very modern. Every time we walked past the front desk, staff said hello to us. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Couldn't decide between this and luxury downtown hotels. This was the perfect choice. Chose King Studio riverview with microwave/frig. Hilton Honors member so don't know if that affected the experience, but using Hilton app was able to pick room during checkin the day ahead. (picked top floor, 622) and parking.Then when arrived used digital key to enter parking and go to room. This hotel is a little away from tightly packed downtown buildings. Expansive view of river and could see capitol building in distance, Bedding excellent, plugs for computers/phone and lights by bed perfect. Large space (about 450? sq ft) vs 260sf or so for some more trendy hotels. Very clean. I read other reviews some very good, a few not good, but this is highly rated and deserves it. Excellent choice. And good service. When we arrived we noted need for extra regular coffee packets for next morning and they brought them up within an hour. Didn't eat free breakfast because we brought food & used frig. Great comfort.

The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and very spacious. The hotel is located near the airport. I'm not sure how many restaurants were nearby because we didn't check, but the location was decent.

We always stay in either a Hilton or Bonvoy hotel due to the consistency. We arrived late to our hotel as we are moving cross-country and were “greeted” by a rude” woman and I wish I had gotten her name (heavy-set, glasses). Extremely unhelpful and the fact that there were no luggage carts and we were on the 6th floor was of absolutely no concern to her. My husband is 70, I’m 61. She gave incomplete instructions on where to park in the garage & which entrance to use because the garage is shared. My husband had to make 6 trips to carry our bags because I can’t lift due a fused spine. The toilet barely flushed & the seat was broken. No water pressure and we both had lukewarm showers. We would have been so much better off staying in a motel and I am not sure how this product or the employees meet the standards of Hilton because I felt like I was staying in a motel that I would have chipped in on with a couple of friends when I was in college. I do not recommend. We are moving to a new state and had to find a suites hotel until our home remodel is complete so we opted to purchase a 21 days stay in a Marriott Residence Inn instead of a Hilton property.
