This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely beautiful historic building with a grand scale and fully updated modern rooms. The design and comfort is impeccable. Large room and bathroom, but not so large that it isn’t cozy. Perfect in my opinion. The onsite dining options are fantastic for world class breakfast lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. And the coffee is amazing. There were a couple of quirks in the room—the sound of trickling water whenever the ac turned...

I always love my stays at the AC Hotel Des Moines. The staff are always friendly. I got to meet the new front desk host Heather, who was great. Tim, the shuttle driver, is always so good and so accommodating, and always asks how my mom is doing. And it was good to see Quincy again, also on shuttle duty, and Sheila at the front desk. I didn’t get a chance to see Nicholas and Peyton this trip, which is a shame b/c they always make me feel welcome and I’ve known Nicholas for probably six...

We love this hotel! We've stayed 2-3 times in the last couple of years. This last time was the best, starting with Michelle, who checked us into the hotel. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and just great in representing the hotel. Our room was fantastic, beds were so comfortable even after a full day at Adventureland. The shower had multiple adjustments, and it had these awesome shampoo, conditioner, and body wash pumps on the wall of the shower - they smelled wonderful! The pool/whirlpool...

The staff was so friendly! This hotel is modern and so clean! Our room is as very nice and the pool was perfect! The water was warm and felt so good after a long day at an amusement park. A grab and go breakfast was provided which included muffins, Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich, yogurt, oatmeal and fruit. Great morning starter for our family! The ratings for this hotel are spot on, I’d stay at this hotel again!
