Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"The elevator in the parking ramp was broken, so I had to wrestle my luggage down three flights of stairs. Easy solution: valet parking. This hotel is on the historic registry, so if something's broken it must go through careful reviews before any repairs can begin. Just something to be aware of."
