4/10 Fair

Not sure i would stay again

The hotel was nice. We had 2 issues. The breakfast supply did not keep up with demand. They also didn't do a good job of cleaning tables after people were done. Our biggest issue was the parking. Hotel.com said parking was available. If it said the price ($20/night) I missed it. This reminds me of resort fees (bait and switch). I want to know what its going to cost me before i book. I understand taxes, but I'm not sure i would stay here again because of it. Let me know up-front!!!

Great Nights Stay

My stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites, downtown Des Moines, IA was very nice! I honestly don't remember the time I've had a better nights sleep at a hotel. Staff was very welcoming and professional and will most definitely stay here again!
Shawn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were clean, staff was helpful and kids enjoyed the pool area while we also enjoyed the outdoor patio
Breanna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Wouldn’t recommend

We booked for handicap access the toilet was way to short to be ADA compliant I had to physically lift my husband off of it! Air flow to the bed sleeping area was horrible maybe a small ceiling fan in that area would help. Balcony was covered in cobwebs and live spiders. Room was very clean just a few little adjustments would help

There is a great view of the capitol
shawn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible management

Had an issue in the room they couldn’t fix and did not compensate, offer a different room, then said there was no report of an issue when I have all the screen shots of my communication with them. Terrible service. Will never stay here again.
