If you are in town for a sporting event at Wells Fargo Arena or Principal Park, the Marriott in centrally located within walking distance of each, as well as the entertainment / dining areas on Court Avenue.

A very expansive lobby with a small bar welcomes you to the hotel and they do offer shuttle service to the DSM airport.

There is some construction going on across the street as well as within the hotel so expect noise from that.

The fitness center and pool are located on the 3rd floor and the fitness center offers a nice selection of cardio machines as well as weight machines and a few free weight dumbbells.

There is a fee (of course) for parking at the hotel ($20), but overnight parking is free on the adjacent street until 6:00 or 7:00 am.

Overall a nice Marriott property.

Thank you for the positive account of our hotel stemming from your recent stay. To clarify, valet parking is $24+tax per night per vehicle. We do hope our overall rating may improve to that of a perfect score if you will allow us the opportunity to host you again in the near future.

Thank you for choosing the Des Moines Marriott!

Our stay was very nice at this hotel. The staff was super easy to work with on our business trip. I'd definitely return for business. The meeting space was just perfect for our group. Hotel rooms were clean and spacious. The Starbucks and hotel bars were nice to have inside the hotel!

My wife and I stayed here on a weekend. Despite there being 10 weddings hosted there, and a concert down the block, our room was surprisingly quiet. The room was clean and comfortable, and the central location made getting around the city a breeze even with all of the construction. Biggest advice: The public parking is FREE on weekends, and there are two ramps adjacent to the hotel, so don't pay for valet parking on the weekends! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the rates were very reasonable!

Perfect place to meet people and the rooms are fantastic. Would stay here anytime I'm in Des Moines. Connected through sky walks. Eateries close by and the vallet parking is very nice. large banquet facility for any occasion.
