It was great to be able to park on the same level as my room and get to it directly. Also, the location is outstanding — it’s right next to the river walk, which is beautiful. Lots of restaurants within a few blocks.

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown
Room was great. My only issue was I specifically chose this hotel because it had a hot tub. Well that hot tub had MANY floating bugs in it in addition to not having hot water and jets barely blowing. It was highly disappointing considering that was the only reason I chose the hotel.
