10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect! We stayed a week and picked the perfect location to be in. The District has several restaurants, coffee shops, breakfast places, ice cream and dessert shops, and shopping all within a block. You can easily walk everywhere. Also has movie theater and bowling ally. Easy parking in back and easier in the front. The Residence Inn’s rooms are perfect with large kitchen (fully stocked) and great living area. Bathrooms are spacious with large walk in showers. Plenty of closet and drawer space. The whole hotel was spotless. Good variety at breakfast. Staff was extra friendly. John especially gives above and beyond service. The breakfast ladies are always smiling! A bit pricey but well worth the location. We will be back!

Stayed at this hotel for 5 days and enjoyed every minute of it. My son had a swim meet in Downtown Des Moines but we opted to stay a little bit further away. Hotel has been in operation since 2018 but we thought it was new— well-maintained and really clean, staff very polite and helpful. Breakfast had a full assortment of hot and cold items. Could have included bacon on one of the days, but totally not an issue. Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in town.

6/10 Good

A little disappointing for the money.

Everything that was there was very clean. But the room had no paper or pencils. I often have to take notes on an impromptu basis, but had to go out to the car. There was no one at the front desk. The bed was not particularly comfortable. The "free" breakfast was dismal. Missing a lot of things like orange juice and bacon. However, the biscuits and gravy was good.

Drips that keep you awake

Residence Inn by Marriott, District Area, Ankeny. Check-in great. Kids used pool and adults used workout facility; everyone enjoyed. Breakfast good. Parking at hotel great! At night, we learned there was a leak in the bedroom window and water was dripping down and hitting the windowsill (puddle on sill and floor in front of it). Notified front desk and they said only thing they could do (because they were booked full), was downgrade our room to a one bed instead of our 2 queen bed room, but they were going to charge us the same price since we booked 3rd party and not directly through them. Obviously not going to work for our family; so we tried to muffle dripping sounds with towels. They became soaked and stained from whatever was causing the drip. Didn’t think the sound of a drip could keep me up all night, but it did. Frustrating that it happened. Further frustrated the only solution was to downgrade us and charge us the same. Insulted by no attempt to make it right or discount anything. Further insulted by excuse of booking by 3rd party was reason why we were going to be charged full price even if we accepted their downgrade. The rub is we are members of their hotel program - we just chose to use 3rd party because we had rewards to use. Guess we need to evaluate using 3rd party in the future….Or canceling that hotel membership and going with a hotel chain that treats their guests (no matter how they book) better when the hotel gives you a faulty room.
