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!
選擇這家酒店是因爲位置方便,到州議會大廈和活動。閱讀評論說很安靜,但這取決於你得到的房間。我們在大大道東北角的一個“特殊”角落(更大的,高大的窗戶和偉大的國會大廈景色)。不幸的是,週日晚上,交通擁擠,人們在大大道上下拖着賽車。AND,隔壁有一家餐廳/酒吧(COA),播放非常響亮的音樂/低音。晚上11:30,它還在去,我們打電話給前台。顯然,他們一直把音樂一直持續到凌晨2點,有時甚至晚一點,儘管噪音條例早得多。前台工作人員似乎也對此感到沮喪,所以我們不是第一個抱怨,他們要求他們停止音樂,他們拒絕。幸運的是,前台工作的很棒的傢伙能夠把我們搬到一個較小但更安靜的西南房間,房間更高,差異令人震驚。所以如果你想睡覺,不要選擇靠近COA酒吧的路邊/東側的房間。還有,地下停車場是30/day,但是街對面有個停車庫只有10/day,還是方便的。現場早餐還可以,但在14/person,我們只在那裏吃了一次。除此之外,工作人員非常棒,滿足了我們延遲退房的要求,非常友好,房間乾淨舒適。酒店內的餐廳/酒吧 The Republic有很棒的飲料,一個很好的放鬆氛圍和非常好的食物。酒店步行到我們想參觀的許多景點,河前很有趣探索。我們步行到愛荷華州Taproom,RoCa,州議會大廈廣告,拐角處有很棒的咖啡。來自得梅因,很高興瞭解這座城市的不同部分。
This review is about a month and a half late but better late than never. My partner and I were in town for a family emergency. Upon arrival we were greeted and checked in by Charlie, whom we later learned was just in Des Moines to help out. Charlie was phenomenal for the entirety of our 4 day stay. He was very welcoming and professional - when the rest of my family came over before we went to the little restaurant/bar downstairs Charlie took the time to give us a little tour and history of the building. Not only is the building history very intrigueing but Charlie did a great job of making us feel right at home. We also learned a little about the hotel company and are looking forward to booking a stay at another venue soon. Highly recommend the hotel- very cute, and cozy. The barista in the morning helped us with coffee and was very nice. The service at the Restaurant/bar was a little slow but we also came in toward the end of the night so I'd assume everyone was just tired and ready to get out of there. Overall 100% - I am originally from Iowa and will be staying at the Surety Hotel for all future return trips.
JJet15737955066Had an early morning flight out of DSM so I booked their Park Stay Go 8 day program. It turned out to be a very good decision. First off, check in upon arrival was a breeze. Aside from the usual process, I was asked to fill out an information card about my car, which I was going to leave in their lot for 5 nights. The room was clean and spacious. Amenities were modern. A very interesting fact is that the bed was a Murphy bed! I found out because I noticed the intriguing design of the bed and decided to explore. I had always wanted to try one, so this was awesome! I also liked the unique central zone under the “Holidome”, which houses a pool, lounge chairs, etc. The next morning, the hotel shuttle bus brought me to the airport, which was only around 5 minutes away. Upon return, I called the hotel and the shuttle came to pick me up within 10 minutes and I was dropped off right beside my car.
Nice hotel. Reasonable rate. Friendly check-in person. Good location. Near several restaurants. The staff at this hotel is amazing. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group. I recently stayed at a 4 star hotel that did not have near the quality of service that this hotel does.
