Decent stay
Booked a standard room but was assigned an ADA room by hotels.com. I messaged to hotel and was told that I would get a regular room but when I checked in I was still in an ADA room. Had to pay $40 extra to get into a room since they were out of standard rooms. Hotel was nice, rooms were very pretty. Bed was hard. They did have a fan available since we forgot out which was super awesome. We opted for on street parking since it was $25 a nigh in the lot.

Phenomenal hotel. We really enjoyed it. The only complaint we would have is the rooms could use more lighting. It was rather dark.

Perfect stay!
Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Top-notch service. Wonderful coffee shop and avocado toast in the lobby and a great place to have a drink at night before you went upstairs to your room.
Well, done

Beautiful Hotel
Beautiful hotel and our room was great. Unfortunately the a/c in the room must be motion activated because we both woke up a few times in the night because it had gotten too warm in our room. Also, we were there at the same time as the Des Moines Marathon which made for a delay getting out of downtown. It would have been super helpful if the hotel had a map showing how to get around all of the road closures. Google Maps wasn't aware of the race.
