So disappointed with this hotel. They offer a complimentary shuttle within a 5-mile radius and more than half of the time they acted like they didn't want to take us anywhere. They constantly made excuses for us not to use the shuttle. When they did let us use the shuttle the drivers were very rude except Tim. On our last day I had scheduled a shuttle for the airport and when the time came for us to use the shuttle, the lady manager proceeded to say that she didn't have a driver available. Housekeeping personnel never came our last three days to take our trash, replace the water bottles, replace clean towels nor make our beds. If you expect to use the "complimentary shuttle" do NOT get your hopes up to use everyday.

First off , the lady at the front check-in had a corn cob up her butt apparently as she was to put it mildly crabby. Then we were charged $35 for parking our HC vehicle. (Apparently you purchase a spot and if we had not had a hc placard we would have had NO parking). However, when we returned from the ballpark, all the HC parking was full! So we sat there not knowing what to do. I had to search for over 10 minutes to find their phone number (which of course was NOT easily found ANYWHERE on their website). When I finally found it and called, I was told we had to wait til someone left ??? What?? We paid $35 a night for a shared spot?? And wait- that wasn’t even all - the rain shower didnt work (and yes we knew how to use it) mentioned it to staff, was told we didnt know how to work it. Breakfast was great so there was one plus I guess. Certainly not work $300 for breakfast lol. My advice. Go somewhere else

The hotel was very nice, the staff was very helpful, they suggested other parking options than their underground parking at $35 a day cost. The disappointment of this hotel was the breakfast that I paid for , turned out to be yogurt, granola bars, plain croissants and coffee, was told there were not kitchen staff since it was a holiday. From past stays at AC hotels, the breakfast was an elaborate buffet with a European vibe. Great location to walk to shopping, restaurants or other attractions!

We recently booked a two queen room with expedia and for AC Hotel Des Moines and when we checked in they said you had book us for a king with a sofa bed. We specifically booked 2 queens because my sister was traveling with us and she has a bad back so you guys changed our reservation.This is the second time this has happened and the desk said it happens alot with Expedia. We want a refund for the difference in the cost of the room. You ruined my sisters trip!!!
