We needed a few extra towels and I found Jeremy in the hallway, he went out of his way, took the stairs, and got us fresh towels with a smily and very friendly service. Later he seen us in the hall and greeted us, and pressed the elevator button for us!

This is my go to hotel in Des Moines when I am downtown. The staff is friendly. The rooms are nice. The location is good. Parking is on the street or in a garage across the street which is very reasonable. The restaurant and bar are also good. It is in walking distance of a number of good dining options and close to many events. I would note that the bathrooms run on the small side. It doesn't bother me, but I have seen it on a number of other reviews so thought I would mention it as well

Out of all of my stays at many hotels, the staff of this hotel were the most friendly ever. They offered me tea, as I was getting over laryngitis. They knew exactly how to treat a Titanium Member. I observed the lady checking in other guests treat other guests just as pleasant as I was treated. She seemed to really enjoy her job. The manager gave her support in a way that was not intrusive. The breakfast was delicious and the waitress was very nice. It was my first time in Des Moines, and I will be sure to return this hotel in the future.

We parked in the lot across the street for $10/day. Parking garage is connected to hotel by skyway which will be so nice in the winter. Check in was quick and very accommodating. Hotel is definitely a bit worn, but the history of the building is appealing. Bar in lobby area served good drinks (1/2 price margaritas on Monday) and a great burger, rib eye sandwich decent too. The breakfast buffet area is not worth it, slow to seat us, many uncleared tables in area, and average food. Made to order meals may be better.

This is my first visit to the Savery despite having been to Des Moines several times. Loved it. From the initial shuttle pick up to being dropped off at the airport, service was impeccable and everyone was so nice and helpful, especially Michael the general manager. I loved hearing about the history of this over 100 year old hotel from Edwin and wish I knew more before I departed. The hotel is in fantastic shape and I loved the contemporary redo of the rooms with some of the nicest designs and interiors I have seen in any hotel room. My only complaint is with housekeeping. When I went to take a shower after checking in, the soap dispenser was empty and somebody else's used towel was hanging behind the door. Unacceptable for such an elegant hotel. I do hope management follows through with renovating the swimming pool That would be a huge and welcome addition to a fine hotel.

To our recent guest fcrane, Thank so much for your kind remarks regarding members of our staff and overall property. I do greatly appreciate your comments on the soap dispenser and will share with our leadership team to address accordingly. Having a towel remaining in the room is certainly embarrassing and well below our standards. This too will be shared with the appropriate team members. Once again, thank you for allowing us to be of service and for your input. We do hope to see you in the future should your travels return you to our area! Kind Regards, Michael

This was our second stay with this hotel, the staff have always been amazing and gone above and beyond to ensure comfort of the stay. The lobby is clean with a fresh and inviting feel. The rooms are what you would expect with a downtown city hotel, smaller than what you would get in the suburbs but well laid out and accommodating. We specifically had Maddie at the front desk ensure our stay was fantastic and highly appreciate her attentiveness- we will certainly be returning!

We would like to give Madie a compliment for accommodate us with our room needs. She was professional, courteous, extremely helpful, and attentive. Also a compliment to Amy who worked in the restaurant this morning. She exudes happiness which was contagious. Amy was professional, accommodated all of the guest so nicely. The food was delicious and the presentation of food was beautifully laid out. The hotel was beautiful.

What a gem! We usually stay at the Marriott across the block but this was a great spot. The bar is super friendly, the beds are amazing and the staff so nice and helpful! A few went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Walked to the Capitol and River Walk easily with many cool restaurants and bars/shops within walking distance. Will definitely pick this one again.

We are Titanium elite for life. We made a prepaid reservation -not realizing it and asked to cancel as our plans changed.it was one month in advance we asked to cancel-and it is a football weekend-so the room will be sold anyway. Ross Wallace refused to cancel-offering g a refund of only one night out of three. He caused Mariottt to lose a loyal customer for life. And on top of it-reservations are listed as several hundred dollars

To our recent guest lisacB3448UC, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts having booked a prepaid non-refundable room reservation. First and foremost, we do value you as one of Marriott’s most loyal members. To better understand your sentiments, I did have an opportunity to review your booking through our Marriott member portal where your reservation was booked. I confirmed the rate program booked and performed a test of the process to see if there were any portion that could have been misunderstood or misrepresented within the process. What I was able to determine in the review: • The name of the rate selected from the site states “Prepay non-Refundable”. • These rate offers are at a reduced price from our regular rates with the understanding that the booking will be non-refundable. If there is ever a possibility of changes to the travel plans, especially if the reason for travel is related to sporting tournaments or similar type events that can easily change based on outcome and sequence of events taking place, it is advisable to book a standard reservation that allows much more flexibility. • Conditions of this booking states that changes can be made up to 7 days of arrival, however, is paid in full and non-refundable if cancelled more than 1 day after initial booking. Additional details are available for preview. • Before final confirmation, the website will not offer any option to proceed until booking terms and cancellation policy are read and clicked to acknowledge the terms. I’m uncertain where the misunderstanding of the booking came to question unless perhaps another party booked on your behalf. I believe Ross did reach out to communicate that we would provide a partial refund due to your loyalty status, however, it does not exempt any member from the same booking rules as stated and agreed to by the member. This was done as a gesture of goodwill and contradictory to the booking policies. I appreciate Ross extending this courtesy as an exception. Again, we greatly appreciate your feedback and regret that your plans were changed to prevent your visit to Des Moines. Should you have plans to visit in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We would be happy to assist in extending every available courtesy to ensure a great visit to our area. Respectfully, Michael
