The location was great and a short drive to the places we needed to go. The breakfast was good and the hotel was well kept. It seemed to be a newer hotel and our room was very comfortable and clean. We definitely would plan a trip with this hotel in mind since it is within walking distance of Living History Farms and the Machine Shed Restaurant.

We cannot think of anything we didn't like.

The location was great--right next to The Machine Shed restaurant and gift shop which is outstanding. Also, the ladies who worked at the front desk were fantastic--friendly, helpful, and cheerful. The fire pit and bar were a welcome relief at the end of each day. Breakfast was quite good.

The bartender could have been a bit friendlier. He seem stressed out a lot of the time. The room was very tiny.

We loved everything! The stay, hotel, and staff were all great. Super convenient location just off of the interstate, with no interstate noise pollution that we could hear. The included breakfast was really great, too! This is also the first Hilton property I’ve stayed at that provided robes & slippers, which was a fun little perk. Our dog didn’t join us on this trip, but saw several during our stay. It’s so great how pup-friendly they are! They even have squeaky toys for sale in the gift shop area. :) I will absolutely stay here if I ever need to stay in DSM again!

Good breakfast- better than most hotels offer. Took a little time to get items restocked as they ran out but the food was great! We liked having good HOT breakfast options. Would recommend the breakfast buffet!

No complaints. We had all of our needs met. Staff were friendly and accommodations were top notch!

I love the overall vibe of the hotel with the decor that paid homage to Iowa's farming culture. The room was nicely sized, clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is located in West Des Moines so it was an easy 15 minute drive to Drake University.

The shower isn't private. The shower and sink are in a nook that is open to the room while the toliet is in a separate room with a door. It's easy enough to give people their privacy when showering by staying in the bed area but wanted others to know.

Breakfast was great , many options and no rush with the time frame available.

We were told an airport shuttle was available if requested with 24 hour notice, needing the service i complied but was informed the driver was on vacation. Seems a bit odd, and frustrating that only one employee can offer that service.

This was an awesome hotel for the price, I would definitely stay at this hotel again. The breakfast was so good, and the bed was awesome!

I don't think the check-in desk should be a lower desk, I don't mind the staff sitting down just have the desk higher with a stool for them to sit at. Our room had the shower in the open, didn't care of that but the shower was nice!

Very clean, fresh air, didn’t smell like mold or the old cigarette smell some places smell like. The staff at the front were so welcoming and the beds were comfortable.

That there wasn’t an onsite pool, but they allow you to use the sister hotel amenities which is nice. But would be wayyyyy better if they had their own.

Beautiful facility, clean, staff was excellent. Liked the Breakfast accommodations. Bar area was awesome. Would stay again!

Shower area in room, not private... maybe a privacy film at least. Bar food was good, but strange food options, definitely not kid friendly or for those with a pretty plain palette. Also seating in bar not very accommodating for plus size persons. Bed was much better than most but could use a topper maybe.

my top priorities while staying at any hotel are as follows- 1. cleanliness 2. friendliness of staff 3. extra perks. the hotel was able to accommodate my early arrival, helped coordinate an airport shuttle, and always greeted me with a smile. the room was immaculate and always well serviced. there was also a fully equipped gym, as well as a VERY good breakfast. I’m never impressed by hotel breakfasts but this one was great. As a single, traveling female, I felt safe & I would stay here again in a heart beat.
