We came for the day and night. So convenient to walk to restaurants and bars and farmers market Loved that we didn’t have to drive anywhere.

10/10 Excellent

Awsome place to stay, quick walk in the sky walks to get to events and places to eat and shop. Parking ramp for the hotel making for an easy parking every time. Inside of hotel was great and awsome breakfast service.
Jeffrey, 3-night trip

Fastest check-in ever.
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great staff and friendly.
Vincent, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Property plus rooms have a strange arrangement--not bad just peculiar. Really interesting to find the elevator to the parking garage. Parking at $20.00 per night seems pretty high. Hard to find the front entrance.
Dennis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice hotel in the downtown area.
Lisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The staff when I checked in was great and the woman running the breakfast went above and beyond! However, the evening staff were a bit rude about helping with internet connection. The elevator stopped working. The room was wheelchair accessible, but the plastic lip dividing the hallway and entryway and the kitchen and living room area was incredibly difficult to get a wheelchair over. The elevator was also tough to get a wheelchair in and out of. I selected this hotel for its breakfast (still amazing), its pool, location, and kitchenette. I was not happy with the evening staff or dirty room. There were not enough pillows for the pull out couch bed. I felt like the price was not equal to the value.
Hannah, 1-night trip

Des Moines Go To Spot... Great parking situation

Location is incredible.
Fernando, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great stay!

Great stay! The room was wonderful, very clean. I was very impressed by the full kitchen and the room layout. At first, I could not figure out how to turn on the lights so I had to take a shower in the dark. Also, I had housekeeping knocking on my door at 9-9:30am on checkout day which I didn't really appreciate. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!
Brooke, 1-night trip

Real clean hotel and great customer service

Great location Downtown, walk right across to the river and great views of the city. Great staff, clean and updated residence inn. Good hot breakfast. We will stay again.

10/10 Excellent

Spacious and well maintained
ARMANDO, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Dirty. The vents were covered in dust, dirty toilet, old dirty silverware under the bed. The bed was like sleeping on a brick wall. The bathroom door was falling off the hinges and wouldn’t shut. The toilet paper roll holder was broken and the roll would fall off when we tried to use it.
Kristin, 2-night trip

Will be back!

Excellent check-in staff, great roomed, great location so close to everything downtown.

10/10 Excellent

Excellent customer service

Tommy at the front desk demonatrated a true level of what it means to take pride in one's work. Tommy excels in effective communication by being able to quickly read people, anticipate their needs and offer what they are truly seeking as a guest in the Residence Inn. Tommy made our stay enjoyable simply from him just being his charismatic self. The breakfast was fantastic! The attached parking ramp created a sense of security for my vehicle and was well worth the $20/day. I will definitely stay here next time I'm back in DSM.
