Top Sky Glider East Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was expensive, advertised as 18 dollars when booked but actually 25 dollars per head!! Lifts very slow. Good location, parking reasonable and right next door to the hotel. Suite was very nice but no full length mirror."

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and attentive. It’s an older property so there is some wear and tear that could addressed. The free parking is a great perk. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, ham, yogurts, toast, bagels, fruit, juice and the option to make a fresh Belgian waffle. Close to the Casey’s arena formerly known as the Wells Fargo arena. Not far from downtown. Overally we were really happy with the stay. We would definitely book this property again."

Hilton Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The reviews that complained about this place must have been nothing but straight up haters! My first "outing" after cancer treatment and the hotel was amazing... the front desk were courteous and house keeping even was nice to my grand son that came with wife and I. If there was a complaint , it would be ppl that had no business parking in handicap parking were parked in assigned spots most of weekend...management should check that occasionally as sometimes it was hard for me to get though garage and parking lot."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"All the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. There were 3 reasons we gave 4 instead of 5 on the overall rating: 1) the "free breakfast" was only extended to 2 adults from each room, and we had 4 adults in our room. So rather than eat in the hotel restaurant, we went to a local favorite brunch place, to cater to the wishes of the group, so that 'amenity' was wasted on us. 2) we had trouble figuring out how to get to the hotel because of the parking lot being closed. We did eventually locate the correct lot and were able to schlepp our luggage across the street safely, with some extra effort. 3) the faucet in the tub/shower was almost impossible to turn fully off. All 4 adult members of our party tried to turn the tub faucet so the water would fully STOP, but only the heavily muscled, 21-year old college athlete member of our party was able to get it turned fully off with great effort. I definitely want to repeat that ALL the staff were friendly and helpful, from Ken at the desk, to the wonderful bartender/waitress in Cityscape the night we arrived, to the housekeeping staff. Overall, it was a GOOD stay, with a few inconveniences."
