AC Hotel Des Moines East Village

I spent two night during a business trip and our customers make the reservation for us here. The hotel is located in downtown, with a very nice and big lobby, the interiors are very well-kept, furnished with style. At the check-in I had a problem with the reservation, but the receptionist found immediately the solution. The room was, super clean, very big, the bathroom too, with a nice view on the Capitol. The two best points of the hotel are a super comfortable bed and a very silent room. One topic to improve is about the breakfast, because was only sufficient, few things to eat and to drink, with very low quality. I can’t say nothing about price, because I was guest of my customer.

Rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathroom door does not keep the light out at night, if you can even figure out how to turn the light on in the first place. Location was great, we parked in a city lot (a block away) for $10 rather than the hotel parking for $30. For $14 / person you get a basic continental breakfast. The free breakfast at the Holiday Inn is far better. For $250 a night it was not worth the price.

I don't have any reasons not to stay here, but also nothing to say that blew me away either. A bit pricey for what you get, but it is a very clean and nice place. Service was very good, staff is very helpful. 3.8 stars if I could.

The room was very good, spacious clean and with all required amenities. Cable options were great, staff were friendly and the best was their 5 mile radius shuttle support, Mr Tim was great guide while dropping us off. This kind of service is uncommon in usa, more available in Asian cities. Breakfast options can be better, a bit monotonic for those who have to stay for more than 2 nights

Peyton was easy to work with arranging rooms for wedding guests. The Jr Suite we used for the bride was perfect. The only issue were the had was the shuttle. We were told he would be available until 11:00-11:30 after reception. He left at 8:00ish. Heels on icey sidewalks, not good. Thankfully no falls or injuries. The other issue was the bar closed two hours earlier than posted on the website.

Clean hotel, with friendly staff. Modern amenities. AC brand of Marriotts has never disappointed, especially given the very reasonable rates. Easy walking distance to many diners and bars. Safe area. The rooftop bar and grill had an amazing view of the incoming storm, highly suggest if you enjoy watching lightning shows.

The best hotel in the DM area. Peyton went out of his way to make our stay the best it could be! Rooms are always clean and stocked and ready for us when we arrive. The rooftop bar is incredible with great views, yummy drinks and friendly staff—Bonita and Trent were both super nice and conversational. I love staying here!! Oh and the showers are heavenly!

I recently stayed at this hotel and rarely write reviews but feel it worth my time to give back for a great stay. My time there was for business travel as the company I work for had a meeting there. I’m the meeting planner and interact with hotel staff at different hotels each year. The hotel was clean and felt upscale from the moment walking in. The room I stayed in was spacious compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in, the bed was comfortable, and I loved the LVP flooring rather than carpet. One of the meeting spaces was utilized for a board meeting and that was very spacious. Even though we didn’t use the AV equipment, it was available if needed without an additional charge. Coffee was in the meeting space without an additional charge. Coffee is also provided in the lobby area for guests complimentary. The staff were amazing and attentive. We had a private event in one of the rooms at The Republic on Grand (6th floor of hotel) and the food there was superb. That space is a wonderful addition to the hotel when planning a function with a meal or not. They also provide a shuttle for guests, and we were able to utilize that to help transport attendees to places close by. When leaving on the final day, I thought back of any negative thing I felt while there and couldn’t think of a thing. All comments from the attendees were positive as well. If ever in the area again, this will be my place to stay.
