"When business calls" for a trip to Des Moines, this centrally located, "attractive", nonsmoking hotel is a good choice as it links to a Skywalk system that's "as convenient as could possibly be" for "dinner, shopping and events" Downtown; despite the lack of free Internet and "pricey" valet parking, most still find a "good deal", citing "beautiful views" of the city, a "terrific" fitness center and a "helpful" staff.

They offered a shuttle to anywhere in the downtown area.

Our one night stay in Des Moines to see the Lion King was enhanced by our accommodations at the Marriott. Although we had a shuttle to take us to the show, we had even more fun walking the sky walk system right back to our hotel. Very convenient, and the staff couldn't have been more pleasant. ...read more

It was easy to find.
Self-parking was across the street in an unmanned city lot.

The in-room movie wasn't working in our room, so they promptly sent someone up to test the TV in the room next door and switched us to the other room. Very accommodating.

The location and the helpfulness of the staff.
It would have been nice to have some suite rooms.

An upscale hotel in downtown Des Moines, with convenient skywalk connections to nearby attractions. Rooms are adequate for individual travelers and couples, but are probably a little small for families. The pool was attractive, but the water was a little too cold (although the hot tub made up for it!). The staff was outstanding. Every single staff member was polite, sincere, and helpful. ...read more

The location and access to the sky walk was great.

The Marriott in Des Moines, Iowa was a beautiful place that was comfortable and convenient for why we were there. It was an easy transition from car to room and the restaurant was friendly and very delicious. It was well worth the cost I was able to get from Priceline and there were no problems at all. ...read more

Staff very enthusiastic and helpful, proud to work at Marriott.
Can't think of anything we didn't like.

Wonderfully clean, modern hotel, located centrally to Des Moines area event centers, within walking distance of many things via the Sky Walk. Staff very friendly, enthusiastic and proud to work at this hotel! Great restaurant with a tasty, diverse menu--something for every taste! Think we'll make this our center for Des Moines area events. ...read more
