Plus side.. they let us check in early, the pillows were nice. However, there were no cookies when we checked in because they had no dough which made me angry because I love my cookies. After my friend took a shower the shower handle broke off. I called front desk around 2:15 and was told maintenance would be there in 25 minutes.( I explained that I needed to shower and be somewhere by 5. ) I called around 3:15 and was told that maintenance was there and was on 4th floor with a construction issue. I again stressed that I had to take a shower and the guy at the front desk did go get the 1 maintenance man I guess they have and brought him down to fix the shower. The maintenance man said there was no reason to switch rooms and I told him as well I needed to shower to be somewhere by 5. He told me as I was walking out of the room if I would move he could hurry and go get the tools he needed. But besides that he was nice enough. Finally @4:10 I went to the front desk and told them I needed a room to take a shower and he was nice enough to let me shower in another room. He said the girl on the shift before him should have immediately offered me a new room. Well that didn't happen. Also, they do not tell you when you check in the pool is out of commission again because of the 4th floor construction and I again was told the 1st shift girl should have told us we had access to the adjacent property. I was just told there was no pool. Also I am not sure why I had no internet password. I am a hilton member and I would not recommend this place. Pretty bad experience.
Stayed at the Hotel Fort Des Moines during the week on business and it was a wonderful stay! My king room was modern yet elegant, spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. Our group also had an evening gathering at their Reading Room and adjacent Study where the food served was 10/10! There doesn't seem to be a ton immediately around the hotel by foot, but we did land at the South Union Bread Café for lunch and it was delicious. I would book another stay at Hotel Fort Des Moines!
Chose this hotel due to convenient location to State Capitol and activities. Read reviews that said it was quiet but that depends on the room you get. We were in a 'special' corner (larger, tall windows and great view of capitol) on the Northeast corner off of Grand Avenue. Unfortunately, the traffic was LOUD for a Sunday night with people drag racing up and down Grand Avenue. AND, there is a restaurant/bar next door (COA) that was playing very loud music/bass. At 11:30pm it was still going and we called the front desk. Apparently they keep the music going until 2am and sometimes later, even though the noise ordinance is much earlier. The front desk staff seemed frustrated by this as well so we weren't the first to complain and they've asked them to stop the music and they refuse. Luckily, the awesome guy working the front desk was able to move us to a smaller but MUCH quieter southwest room that was higher up and the difference was shocking. So if you want to sleep, do not choose a room on the road/east side near the COA bar. Also, underground parking is $30/day, but there is a parking garage across the street that was only $10/day and still convenient. The onsite breakfast was ok, but at $14/person, we only ate there once. This all aside, the staff was AMAZING and accommodated our request for an late checkout, very friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The onsite restaurant/bar The Republic had great drinks, a nice relaxing atmosphere and very good food. The hotel was walkable to many spots we wanted to visit and the river front was fun to explore. We walked to the Iowa Taproom, RoCa, State Capitol ad there is great coffee just around the corner. Being from Des Moines, it was nice to get to know a different part of the city.
When we arrived we had sand in our bed, no big deal, could’ve just been from someone setting something on the bed. We told front desk and got new sheets and blankets. We later got walked in on while getting ready in our room by other guests who were given a room that we were already in. Guests were sorry and went down to get a new room, front desk agent apologized and got us new keys and free breakfast. They told us that night when we got new sheets to tell management in the morning about the sand so we could inform them. We did just that and were told no managers were around so they took a note for them and told housekeeping over the radio what happened. When we walked upstairs, housekeeping was now in our room, with our do not disturb sign up looking for the sand. We walked in and they asked us immediately where the sand was, we said we changed out the sheets before bed and the old were on the floor. Head of housekeeping (as confined by front desk) very rudely told us that that wouldn’t have happened and that they change the sheets before housekeeping even cleans the rooms. We told them that we wouldn’t just make that up and she picked up the sheets and left. We talked to the front desk again as her attitude and her telling us that that didn’t happened was the last straw. Incidents happen and none of it was ideal but when someone in a higher role is not even close to as helpful or friendly as all the front desk agents have been our whole stay, that’s where the real problem is. I have never had that kind of a dreadful experience with any other business ever. If it weren’t for her, I really think this would have been a great stay.
訪訪客用戶Poor lighting, couldn’t figure out how to just turn on 1 light. Bathroom lights to bright to keep light on all night. You should install small night light in bathroom.
Refrigerator too small and u need coffee maker in room
Beds comfortable, bedding cozy, and quiet room.
Thanks for great weekend in Des Moines.
JJet15737955066從DSM出發的清晨航班,所以我預訂了他們的Park Stay Go 8天計劃。事實證明這是一個非常好的決定。首先,抵達時入住是微風。除了通常的過程,我被要求填寫一張關於我的車的信息卡,我將在他們的地段離開5晚。房間乾淨寬敞。設施現代。一個非常有趣的事實是,牀是墨菲牀!我發現是因爲我注意到牀的有趣設計,決定探索。我一直想嘗試一個,所以這太棒了!我也喜歡“Holidome”下的獨特中心區,那裏有游泳池,躺椅等。第二天早上,酒店班車把我帶到機場,只有5分鐘左右的路程。回來後,我打電話給酒店,班車在10分鐘內來接我,就在車旁邊下車。
