I travel to Des Moines on business 4 or 5 times a year. Each trip is for a full week, I request this hotel every time. The room is very clean, the bed is comfortable, and the service is second to none. I really like the well equiped gym, complete with a dry sauna and a steam room. The custom... More

The room as well as the hotel could use some major renovation. The television was probably 15 years old. The hotel does not offer any premium channels or any on-demand type service. The bedding is vastly inferior to other upscale hotels. In fact the blanket looked to be over ten years old and had burn marks throughout and was not... More

Front desk staff, housekeeping, lounge, location, all top of the line. We had a reservation for a fireplace corner suite. Our room was not a corner suite! The room was great but was not on a corner. The price difference was 20$.

My booking was last minute and I am so glad we chose this hotel! We got a great deal and the staff was wonderful! They helped us find a place to have dinner and were very friendly. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Our room had a fire place which was so nice. My only suggestion... More

fantastic hotel, quiet with very friendly staff. Very nice rooms, close to some great restaurants. well worth the money to stay at. Next time I'm back in Des Moines I will stay there again! Bed was very comfortable, and room was very clean. Great find.

Stayed here just one night on a business trip. Rooms are spacious with nice architectural features. Mine had a cove ceiling with indirect lighting and one wall was brick. The bath was outdated but functional and large. Front desk staff was very friendly and the bar and lobby area are richly appointed with dark wood and antiques. It did seem... More

Good location but rooms are very outdated. The bedding in particular was of terrible quality. The blankets and comforter were totally synthetic and did nothing to keep you warm. The breakfast in the morning was a nice touch. My room was huge but the lighting was really bad. It was very difficult to do work in the room without totally... More

I recently spent an evening at the 800 Locust Hotel and Spa and found it to be a very relaxing stay. Check in was actually fun and the staff was engaging and helpful. The room was spacious and had all the ammenities I needed as a business traveler. There was a complimentary breakfast buffet (at least for me) that included... More

This hotel was very nice. The lobby and rooms were gorgeous, as you expect in an older hotel. Each room was very unique and comfortable, most with fireplaces. The single elevator was frustrating at times, just don't be in a hurry! The spa and fitness center was AMAZING. The staff was very friendly and helpful at the front desk. The... More
