"The room was nice , clean and comfortable. The shower was great. The staff was friendly. Only complaint is the air conditioning and refrigerator were not as cold as I would have liked. Even turned the air way down where the room should have been freezing but it was not."
"I absolutely loved my two night stay at Hotel Fort Des Moines. The hotel itself was magnificent, my room was beautifully decorated and comfortable. I enjoyed the cafe several times and wished I would have been able to try the restaurant. All the staff I interacted with were so friendly, helpful and very professional. I will definitely be staying here again next time I’m in Des Moines. "
