I have no real complaints about the hotel as a whole. My one complaint is the beds. We had a king size bed room 408 downtown Des Moines, Iowa. It was hard as a rock. We could feel every single spring. We didn’t get much sleep and I woke up with terrible back and hip pain. I’m so sore from your bed that I had to make a call to my doctor this morning to get in for an appointment. Please consider new updated bed for all the rooms.
