What I liked about the Embassy Suites Des Moines is their staff. They’re very caring. They’re very helpful but the hotel really really needs a renovation. It took us three rooms. When we arrived to not have a room that smelled like smoke, had the air conditioning vent rattling or in one of the rooms one bed was unmade when we arrived. The saltwater pool wad an issue one day, and I just really feel like the hotel just needs a facelift. But we had fun and I will stay again once a renovation has been completed, because the staff is so awesome.
