The hotel staff seemed to everything they can to please you. I wanted a fan and less than five minutes later it was at my doorstep. The room was modern and updated and the beds were so comfortable! We stayed two nights in two different rooms and requested to be the highest level up but each time we were stuck... more

This was our second stay at the downtown Marriott. I got a great deal for 3 rooms on priceline for a one night stay. Their shuttle service was exceptional!!! They drove us to our restaurant then to the Civic Center for the production of Wicked. After the show they picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. We... more

I was in Des Moines, Iowa for a sporting event with my 15-year-old son over Columbus Day Weekend (2009). We arrived at the under-construction airport to find no ladies' room open in the airport (only one of 3 mens' rooms was working), which was a big problem for many women on our flight. Got to the hotel (Marriott Downtown) on... more

Stayed at the Marriot four days and probably won't stay there again. This downtown hotel is conveniently located for almost anything in Des Moines. Parking will cost you however. $12 to $17 a night. There is free parking on the street but you will have to move your car by 7 A.M. or risk a ticket. The room was alright.... more

So I spent two days at the Marriott with some great friends. When we went up the elevator, there was a rack of free pringles for us. It was a.maaazing! Highly recommend that marriott starts offering this everywhere! more

Our visit to Des Moines was excellent, and part of that was due to this hotel. The location is in the heart of down town, close to the capitol and other sites. We were in town for the Iowa State Fair, and the hotel had a shuttle that took you directly to the event. Very helpful! The staff was professional... more

This hotel is a safe bet. It's a typical large, downtown Marriott. However, it's getting tired and showing it's age. It's a bit like walking into a time warp. The folks at the front desk were amazingly nice and quite helpful. They got me right to my room and were able to suggest some good spots for dinner. The actual... more

My husband and I won a room at the Marriott Downtown on Priceline for $62 including taxes and fees. I was thrilled with the purchase until I read some of the reviews and then I started to worry a little bit. Fortunately all of my fears were unfounded. Upon pulling in to the hotel, we were told that we could... more

The rooms were fine. The service was fine. Internet costs are extreme. One night's cost is as much as a month's cost from a home. They added authorizations to my credit card which caused it to be declined even tho no further charges were due. This caused undo hardship with part of our trip, as the credit card could not... more
