Poor value as it turns...

Liked: This hotel seems perfectly nice. I had a clean, large room with a huge tv, large bathroom with nice walk-in shower, everything I asked for. I thought.
Disliked: When I tried to go to bed, after a long day of travel, I found that the tv clicker did not work. The front desk lady nicely brought up a new one, but it did not work either. Eventually the engineer informed the front desk lady that the tv in my room needed a particular kind of clicker, an older model. She nicely brought one up to me and it worked, but I wondered why the room did not have the proper clicker in the first place. I was about to collapse into bed after this delay to straighten out the tv issue, when I discovered the toilet was backed up. I am sure the hotel would have taken care of this, but it would take another hour. I collapsed into bed anyway. Then, just to really annoy me, the garbage was very loudly picked up, right outside my window, at 5:30 a.m. I also was not thrilled about $33 to valet park. That's a lot.

Superb

Liked: Loved the restored historical hotel. The bar/restaurant was especially beautiful.

Nice hotel

Liked: Room was comfortable and clean. Nice attention to detail.
Disliked: The only negative is the sound from outside. It seems everyone in Des Moines drives a loud race car and they use the surrounding streets for their drag strip. Very, very loud and all night long.

Very good
