The staff at both the evening reception and morning breakfast worked very hard to ensure that a big crowd was taken care of quickly. We appreciated that. The room was dated -- not sure if they're even building this style of Embassy any longer -- but it was still clean. There is ample street parking around the hotel, not necessary to pay $ 20 to park in the hotel garage. I wasn't a fan of the person cleaning the (only!) lobby bathrooms during the very busy morning breakfast hours on Saturday. It was poor timing and took a long time.

This is the worst Embassy Suites Hotel that I have ever stayed in. I had to change rooms two times. The room wasn't safe because the door did not lock. This hotel needs a TOTAL face lift.

No parking that you didn’t have to pay for the rooms were very outdated the free drinks they gave you were warm and was told by a staff member that it’s not the first time they have heard that from other people vents in our room had mold growing on them over all they changed full price for a big name hotel and gave a motel quality room and accommodation

Upon check in to the room the AC unit was dripping water and floor was soaked. Room was dirty, bathroom moldy and rust on the ceiling. Looked like cereal was spilled in the corner and not vacuumed between guests. Spoke to front desk and she said she would talk to manager about a discount and would call me to let me know the decision but she never called me back. They did offer a $50 discount on my final bill. Various staff I spoke to complained about management and acknowledged understaffing and poor facilities. Said that they bank on people being nice to staff because they are on vacation instead of really complaining. They also know we will be forgiving because it is not the staffs fault. Overall seemed like staff was unhappy and sharing with customers. I really like Embassy Suites and the room size was perfect for my family. But the hotel is run down, smells and staff are unhappy. Sad to see a great chain not living up to the Hilton standards.

Alyssa, who checked us in at the front desk, was pleasant, friendly, and very attentive. She sent up a dessert to our room to congratulate us on our anniversary! Or her staff remembered us, as well, the next day when we checked out. We walked down Court Ave for dinner, where there are many options within walking distance. We enjoyed the downtown skyline and lights and the river from our 7th floor window. We had a pleasant experience!

I paid extra for exception view according to website, when we get there the view is a noisy construction on the bridge. Will wake you up early morning with the noise. This is the first hotel that I could not sleep good because I feel unsafe, in the middle of the night you’ll hear banging noises as if someone was trying to open the door. The door inside would not lock. There was moldy food in the microwave. The sheets and pillow smells like they were not changed from previous customers. The complimentary dining, food is cold and just basic. We’d rather eat outside. There are small spiders crawling inside the room. No shower gel, bathroom is only half closed so the water goes on the floor. Very expensive for poor service. Not worth it. Best western is far more clean and much cheaper.

The staff were great, all the way from the concierge, breakfast crew to the cleaning group. They were friendly, helpful, and diverse. The property has old facilities, which is understable given the hotel's age. The location was great as it was in Downtown Des Moines and had many great walkable options. The parking filled up quickly but there was a parking facility by the city in front of the hotel that was fairly accessible and reasonably priced (max of $10 a day).
