This is the second time we have stayed at this Embassy Suites hotel and absolutely love it. The location is awesome and convenient to walk to a abundance of restaurants. The staff were awesome and welcoming and efficient. The happy hour drinks and snacks were great as well as the morning breakfast buffet where we enjoyed a delicious custom made omelette. We will be back!!!

This was great with a buddy. It’s downtown Des Moines. Short walk to farmers market on Saturday morning. Took a walk by myself in the afternoon, not smart. Use the buddy system. It’s a big old beautiful city.
