Beautiful and comfortable hotel in a great downtown location!
Nothing!
The historical building
Bed was comfortable.
Shower drain was clogged.
One towel only in the room.
Staff not helpful at the fron desk. Poor check in and check out.
The rooms were up to date and comfortable, especially the bed. The shower was top notch.
The breakfast restaurant was slow and the staff somewhat inattentive.
The location was great. The overall room was nice and clean.
The hotel staff was ok. They were by no means rude but did not go above and beyond. Overall, lacked warmth.
Nothing.
Double charged for our whole stay. House keeping did not always come around. Had to call for toilet paper. Extremely expensive laundry services. Certainly would not recommend this place to any one.
Beautiful facilities. Excellent service. We slept like babies! Highly recommend.
There were no disappointments.
I liked the fun decor and walk-in shower. Very comfortable beds and the hotel’s toiletries were wonderful. Also, the staff in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful.
I didn’t like having to sign up for a new app in order to receive my valet parked car when departing the hotel. I found it inconvenient and clumsy. The valet customer service as a whole was not welcoming or helpful and at $40 a night felt somewhat unreasonable.
This property is historic, beautiful and well-maintained. When I stay in hotels of this type, my expectation is above-average service, and amenities which was simply not the case. To start, the room I was assigned on the top floor was changed when I arrived and they place a $100 per day stay room damage deposit on check-in that took many days to be cleared on my card. The room was spacious, clean, quiet and modern with the ultra-plush beds (extremely soft which is nice for some, but I needed back support making my stay pretty painful) and a large walk-in shower. Housekeeping for those staying more than a day is not until the late afternoon so we never got the room cleaned even though we asked management. Daily requests had to be made for towels, soap & toilet paper. The parking option for the hotel was valet at $43 per day however, the garage they use behind the building is available for self-park at $10 per day max. Hotels of this type normally provide things like lemon water or morning pastries and coffee downstairs for guests, there were no amenities like that. This was a little disappointing stay for such a beautiful hotel of this level. The whole atmosphere is lowered when the service level and amenities were just so minimal especially in housekeeping.
Be aware that downtown Des Monies is very clean but mainly business buildings so people are not actively walking the street. There are a few good restaurants around the downtown area however you will need to drive to get to most of them.
Provide soap and replace towels if you’re going to take them. Valet wasn’t well staffed
Aiden at Valet did a great job helping us! It was a great 😌
Beautifully maintained historic hotel in downtown DSM - minutes from Sculpture Park and Art Museum.
Rooms are large, quiet and comfortable. Well designed.
Staff is professional and kind. Shout out to Christie V at the front desk for showing incredible kindness and patience to a really difficult couple who just wanted to argue. She was incredible…
How is this at the top rated hotel in Des Moines? Our son has lived in the city for seven years and we have stayed at every hotel in town, I swear, with his variety of moves. This was, hands-down, our best stay. What it lacks in location convenience, it makes up in every other thing. The room itself was modern, spotless, and well appointed. They lean into their history in a fun and cheeky way that is perfection. The ghosties down the hall and all references to the history were so fun. The speakeasy is great, the breakfast café was delightful. We absolutely love this hotel. So glad that we found you.
They would say historic. But in many ways it is just old and strange. Looks like there have been several attempts at piecemeal updates over the decades in conflicting styles and to different degrees of quality. It is in need of another. The lobby decor and furniture is worn and odd. The hall carpeting odd. The room furniture is cheap ikea-like laminate and chipped and marked. Maybe I'm being too picky for Des Moines. The staff seems to be willing.
