"When business calls" for a trip to Des Moines, this centrally located, "attractive", nonsmoking hotel is a good choice as it links to a Skywalk system that's "as convenient as could possibly be" for "dinner, shopping and events" Downtown; despite the lack of free Internet and "pricey" valet parking, most still find a "good deal", citing "beautiful views" of the city, a "terrific" fitness center and a "helpful" staff.
