“Very posh but affordable”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

I booked this hotel thru Priceline by picking 3 1/2 stars and downtown area. I knew there were only 3 hotels in the downtown area. I paid $85 which was supposed to be 53% off. It is right downtown, about 3 miles from Mercy hospital where I have family in ICU. Since it is downtown you have to pay for... More

“Great Hotel”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I am from Iowa and stay in the Renaissance Savery Hotel every time I'm in Des Moines. The staff is always attentive, the restaurant is always great (with good drinks at the bar as well), the rooms are nice and large with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are a bit small but I've stayed in rooms that have come with two... More

“Unique property, good stay, but some misses”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

My family chose the Renaissance Savery for a stay in Des Moines for my son's wedding. The hotel is conveniently located near the river and Des Moines is a wonderful city for walking around and exploring. The hotel has posters all over with information about its history. Even in our bathroom there was a note that when the Savery was... More

“Big rooms, but needs work”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

I stayed here for a hybrid work/fun trip, and was disappointed considering that this is a Renaissance property. There's not enough staff. I had to go looking for a valet when I arrived to park my car. The cable and internet service is awful, which is a problem for business travelers. The toilet and sink were super loud, which woke...

“Small rooms = average accommodation”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

My room at the Renaissance Savery in Des Moines, IA bears more than a passing resemblance to a postage stamp. Even the full-size (double) bed seems oversize in this room. A low ceiling in a very tiny bathroom lends to a claustrophobic sense. Most annoying of all is a clothes closet that is only about 8" deep, meaning that all... More

Thank you for your feedback. The room you were in was one of our few remaining European rooms. The hotel was built in 1919 and at the time all of the rooms were of this size. We have done many renovation over the years and only have a few of these remain. Most of our rooms are very spacious. More

“The best hotel for the price!!!”

Reviewed 17 March 2013 via mobile

Just perfect. Good location, enormous rooms. Comfortable bed and room. We stay here every time when we go to downtown Des Moines. It was St Patricks weekend, we had a great time. The hotel is one block from all the pubs/bars and restaurants.

“Historic building, giant room, connected to skywalk”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

I stayed for a conference that was spread out between this hotel & 2 other locations. Our room was enormous--the size of 2 typical rooms--with 2 full baths. The bed was very comfortable and it was quiet at night. We enjoyed that it was connected to the skywalk, and we could get to some really good restaurants in the court... More

“Attended a conference here, though I did not stay in the hotel”

Reviewed 13 March 2013

The hotel was full, so I was unable to stay here. From a conference standpoint, it was just ok. The room was very cold most of the day. The biggest problem I encountered was the largest roach I have ever seen in the men's restroom. This fellow had to be a resident for some time. I thought the restaurant in... More

Reviewed 11 March 2013

I stayed at this hotel for one night in March 2013. This was my fourth stay at this property in the past year. It is an older, historic hotel at a great location in downtown Des Moines and it says "class" the moment you enter the lobby. As stated in the other reviews, expect to pay for parking; this IS...

First I would like to apologize for the challenges that you encountered in your room. Thank you for letting me know so that I can be certain it will not happen again.

“If you like staying in a historic hotel”

Reviewed 28 February 2013

This hotel has been around for at least 100 years, the picture in the bathroom has a note that talks about when individual rooms got their first private baths in 1919 and that was only special rooms at that. The hotel is big and grand, but you have to pay for either valet parking, or you can park in the... More
