Stayed here for two nights recently. Great big room with a fireplace! Very quiet, though the hotel did not seem to have a lot of quests the nights I stayed. The bathroom was beautiful with twin sinks in a long vanity with plenty of space. I would have enjoyed a shaving/magnifying mirror. I believe the rooms are different sizes, so... More

A group of friends went to DesMoines to see Wicked and stayed for the first time at Suites of 800. It was elegant when we walked in, we were greeted in a very friendly and open way. When we got to our rooms,, they were spacious and clean. The bar off the lobby was intimate and the service was great.... More

We spent a weekend in August at the Suites of 800 Locust and it was very nice. We had not stayed there before and we were impressed. The rooms were very large and bathrooms were much bigger than some other downtown hotels. They have a nice breakfast in the morning and we had a few drinks in the lounge also.... More

Don't count on using the internet, super slow & sometimes non existent. Nothing worse when your planning on doing work. Breakfast was poor, beds were pretty comfy, but no window looking outside...not good. More

Good sized rooms, comfy beds, yummy breakfast included, parking right across the street. We have stayed here several times and enjoy the exceptional, friendly staff. The rooms are comfortable and nice without being over done. In the mornings the chef will whip up a waffle or omelet to order - included with the room. Parking right across the street with... More

We have stayed in several room types, all of which have very comfortable beds and a mini fridge. The firepalce suites are especially... More

This is an old hotel that has been refurbished. The service was fantastic. The complimentary breakfast is not the usual pre-packaged fare, the chef cooks eggs, waffles, etc and the other choices include many muffins, cereal, bagels, fruit, juices, etc. It has about 10 times what the average hotel breakfast has. The room was very clean and comfortable. Might have... More

This is a nice hotel. It has historic qualities that make it different from staying at the Marriott or other chain hotels. I had 2 complaints, 1. they have to get rid of the bedspreads and change to washable duvet covers. 2. They have one very nice man making breakfast in the am, but it took a half an hour... More
