I travel a lot and have had good luck with Embassy Suites. Not so much the one in Des Moines. I was awakened at 7:34 am by the sound of a power-drill. (They're installing fountains or something. I'm sure they'll look nice one day, but the doggone room shook at 7:34 in the morning - not a good time for... More

I met several relatives at the Embassy for a fun weekend. My favorite part about the Embassy is the van service which will take to almost anywhere. They also had the manager's happy hour from 5-7. There were 2 large groups having parties and that did impact the manager's happy hour and the line took @20 minutes. The room was... More

I have stayed at the Embassy Suites on the River four times and have not been disapointed once. The rooms are spacious and very comfy the staff are very nice and can help with almost any question you have.

There are also a number of... More

I go often great rooms, friendly staff, nice pool area. Only thing that I don't like is the price of the internet should be free like other related brands of Hilton. Other than that great hotel. More

Some friends and I met up at this hotel for a college friends reunion. We picked the Embassy Suites because we wanted to do a little video gaming on a couple of linked Xbox 360s, so the 2 double bed suite with two LCD TVs was perfect for us. We got there about 1:30 PM and were able to check... More

I just spent the night at the Embassy Suites on the River in Des Moines, Iowa. The hotel is under an 8 million dollar renovation and the biggest issue appears to be the entrance to the hotel and the front desk.
